Weekend Astronauts - Nameless

This one came a bit easily. I think maybe a bit too much so. Usually when that happens, you're doing a lot of the things you usually do and not experimenting. However, this time was a bit different. The bass had a slide to it and I really enjoyed that, so I bussed basically everything to a channel that had a pitch plugin on it and modulated the pitch control via an envelope in various places. I've done that before, on bass, but not much on the entire track. I think it kind of set up the theme for the song in a way.

So, this song started as a random idea my buddy Piotr was working on. He sent the project to me with the ideas in it as far as some individual sounds were concerned and I started building something with it. Normally I might add things of my own, but in this case I thought less was more and tried to work with what was essentially the skeleton of a beat and a few pad type synths and a lead.

A day or two later, it became a song, I think, and I dig it.
How 'bout you?

Any requests for samples, I can throw them your way.
