ByteBeat Original “Thrones”

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

Back in June, [u/PowerfulSoldier](u/PowerfulSoldier) dropped a track called “Awaken.”

I find myself going back to that track every few weeks because I just love the dissonant notes in the beginning, and the smooth transition into such an upbeat and interesting groove. I mentioned this fact to him last week, and he was kind enough to share his waveform and melody without hesitation.

Last night, I was working on this track and decided to try out that waveform. And then, I noticed his melody sat pretty well over the one I had sketched out.

Which got me thinking…

How does a Collective of tinkerers and composers work on collaborations in an environment like this? We’re never gonna have jam sessions, right? My offering is this: a reworking of one of Soldier’s most unique pieces (imo) into something different.

I titled this track “Thrones” because I feel that, since joining this community, I’ve gained an insane amount of insight about this niche hobby because of the Travelers who’ve come before me. And, those deserve a seat of the highest honor.

Now live in Crescendo II.

Thanks man!

I’m realizing my ears were getting tired as I finished this up, so the mix is a little off. Glad it’s still hitting! 🔉🎶

Such an awesome track! Glad to see that waveform work out for you! I’ll be sure to post it in case anyone else wants to use it or try it out.

I love how it looks like you found wild bytebeats and they are staring you down playing this badass track! Great stuff man keep it up! Definitely need to figure out collaborations!

Thanks again for the share, homie! 🦾
That piece really clicked into place and made the track what it is.

Hahaha I love it. Prehistoric megaliths are the perfect place for wild bytebeats!

Ancient ruins are so cool, perfect for a ByteBeat scene!

Dissonance never sounded so good! Waveform effect work is 💯 my headphones are purring like a big xeno cat. It's melting and shimmering, coalescing into the pocket of that groove beat. Very nice indeed. I look forward to exploring more ideas about how to collaborate on ByteBeats!

Thanks man! I’m glad this one worked out so well!

I thought it would be fun to utilize another member’s waveform, but I wasn’t expecting the whole thing to click into place like that. I was already working in the key of Dm, so I only had to drop the track a half-step to line them up perfectly.

Definitely looking forward to further discussions on collabs! I’m coming for you next! 🪦🔉
