tenho ansiedade 2

The creation process was fun, but also very intense. I’ve been working a lot and found it difficult to dedicate myself to the mixing stage, which was where I struggled the most. The first step was composing the melody on the Toxic Biohazard synth, since it set the melancholic vibe I had in mind. Next, I created a few variations of it, plus another one on Surge XT, which I arpeggiated using a metallic percussion from producer IGLOOGHOST’s kit, adding more complexity to the sound.

After shaping and connecting the melodies on the synthesizers and swapping out their textures, I moved on to percussion. The “glitch” kicks — the more exaggerated ones — were the first I created. They are sharp in certain parts and stand out a lot. The second beat I built was the main jersey club base; I find that style really fun, and the heavy bass is always present. Both kicks were constructed with an 808 on Surge XT as well.

After all the mixing, I wrapped it up with special sound effects from PS2 video games, like Saint Seiya – The Hades and Teen Titans. I also used some effects from producer SOPHIE<3’s kit. I externalized a lot of what I was feeling, which is why I named it I Have Anxiety 2. I had already made I Have Anxiety 1, which is more contained and only explodes at the end, while this one, which bursts out in several moments, illustrates better what I feel.

I like dance music, pop music, funereal music, metallic sounds, gothic synthesizers, 8-bit — and I hope that came across clearly. ⊙▂⊙
