🎵 New bonk: Downfall
Downfall was written back in October for the Four Seasons of Bonk Wave fall album, which was appropriately released in spring (if you’re in the northern hemisphere like me :)
Downfall also sparked and opens my upcoming album, offbeat.
For now, you can hear it alongside a ton of other great #bonkwave tracks on The Four Seasons of Bonk Wave: Autumn Waves 2 (Autumn Waves is actually a triple album!)
You can also find it on my Faircamp site, which has an exhaustive collection of bonkwave-related materiel.
Finally, Downfall is available on my shiny new hand-crafted music site.
And thank you to @ordosmarkzero@ravenation.club for mastering the track!
If you’ll pardon a little music geekery, all these months after having written and recorded the song, I’m still kind of amazed by how moving from D minor to D minor 7 (pretending is phony...) changes the feel of the song. And it’s not just the arrangement or the harmonies. I get the same effect when I’m just strumming an acoustic guitar.
Also, don’t ask me why, but I remember that when I sat down to write the music, my initial idea was to make a song with a lot of silence in it. I mostly failed, but still.
