I wrote this song around 2014 (I think!), around the time I was teaching myself how to use Ableton. The goal was to write something minimal, using only 2-part counterpoint, pointing and clicking into Ableton’s MIDI matrix.
One of the reasons it’s so rhythmically repetitive is because it’s easy to duplicate sequences of MIDI patterns in Ableton. Harmonic form and development is often just a matter of just changing one note.
Of course, as per my tradition, I hate naming my compositions so I ask my partner to name them. If there’s anything “melancholic” about this, it’s not intentional. I just go with the flow and develop the music as I see fit.
