Eighth Inch Lullaby [disquiet0350] by UntilledSound

In my electronic music journey, I definitely lean towards the aggressive and gritty. This was a welcome change to that Idea, and I'm definitely planning on making more tracks like this. I really enjoyed it.

For me, music has to be pretty repetitive to be able to sleep to, but if it's too repetitive I'll find myself getting more annoyed than sleepy. This was basically a bunch of different cycled elements, with some intentional subtle randomness thrown in to keep it from getting annoying. I had to resist the temptation to mess with the elements too much, and I even made sure I stepped away from the rig for a while to let it play out. Bringing elements in and out was done in a way as to be completely unsurprising to the listener, I've never turned knobs so slowly in my life.

I'm very pleased with the result, I got a little sleepy while making it.
