Who Knew (Your Radiancy)
Skirmish: Who Knew? (@powerstars)Liner Notes
This started as part of a #skirmish but I have yet to actually complete one in an hour. Maybe someday... (This one took me four. Which is pretty short quick for anything with a sound bed, for me these days.)
The challenge was to use "Who Knew?" as part of the theme.
I started to look at anagrams of "Who Knew" which sent me to an interesting place -- "kwh no we" "kwh on we" and "kon whew" "hewn wok" and other things that would have been great for that nonsense challenge I missed earlier.
Power is measured in KWH - kilowatt hours - and that pushed me into this idea of power, and knowing that one has power and influence.
So here's my "who knew" with some #weird layers, #synth and experimentation with more movement of sound, in both sonic location and tempo.
This was based on the following looperman loops:
looperman-l-1251053-0092998-thasloppyjoe-kewl-melodikness
looperman-l-1297038-0209083-lofi-flute-melody-97-mocha-jones-x-dababy-x-lil-mosey
looperman-l-2247732-0269221-hbs-runnin-from-myself-lead-g-125bpm
as well as some pulled from the Logic library and a few midis I made myself.
Lyrics
Each day I am You Are I Am Each day You are I am Are You
Who knew it would be you Who would find the power Lightning striking the ground Blinding rightness to devour I feel your Incandescent brightness And sound You on the power Your luminescent likeness surround Me on the power It will be unbound We will compound We on the power Who knew
Each day I am You Are I Am Each day You are I am Are You

that chorus is nicely hypnotic - i like the sound effects too
As a Christian, these lyrics are especially compelling--loved it!
Love your thought process to get to the power metaphor via anagrams. Brilliant.The little melodic synth loop is great, and the 'Each day...' chorus is SUCH an earworm!
I'm listening to this in my car for the first time. And oh my gosh, that bass is murderous! I apologize sincerely to everyone who I have deafened and shaken out of their chair.
