#Movuary day 28: I made this in a car on the way to Belgium, and I know it's short but I didn't get more of a chance to do something epic. There's stuff I want to sample where I'm staying, including an absolutely fantastic stair banister that chimes like a bell, but that will have to be for another set. The sample was recorded from my phone playing back a youtube video, so there is that.

#Movuary Day 1: Yes it's that time again, so let's get this thing going.
We start with a little idea I had the other day after upgrading the storage in my Ableton Move from 32 GB to 128 GB. I added in a handful of new samples and built a kit from Neptune drums, around which I based this groove.
Title: 'Movuary Rides Again'

#Movuary Day 3: Full stop Punctuation.
Named after a conversation yesterday, and also after a weird youtube trend that gave you some... Very questionable videos if you put a single full stop in the search bar at one point.
I have wireless midi connected to my Move over a weird little device called a WIDI (Wireless to MIDI Adapter) so I used my normal keyboard to play the bass, chords and synth line, but input the drums directly on Move.

#Movuary Day 4: Morning Incoherence.
When I first wrote this track some years ago, I envisaged that the refrain would be your alarm that you continued to put on snooze because you didn't feel like starting the day.
The bits in-between are your on-again off-again dreams that last for perhaps 5 minutes each.
The final motif is when you give in and get up.
In the full-length track done with a live band, it turns into a roughly 10-minute affair with multiple sections and it's pretty wild. I wish I'd gotten to make a proper music video for this but sadly not.
This is my original version for Move, but below I've linked a live version we played in Pizza Express some years ago.

#Movuary Day 5: 'Happy to see you.'
A very short, bouncy little thing just for the sake of it.

@FreakyFwoof Well... llooks like it's just you and me again. There were two others, but they both dropped off, it seems.

@BorrisInABox Maybe they'll come back swinging. We shall see.
