"Stupdendous"

I started this song with the melody that immediately begins the song, and as soon as I saw you had uploaded the Secret Sample pack I knew I wanted to utilize it.

Here's my sample recipe:
-I used sample 10 as the shaker(?) in the beginning.
-Sample 1 worked as the kick.
-Sample 20 was used as a one of the wave-table oscillators for the synth that starts at ~27 seconds.
-And more inclusively (than sample 20) I used the entirety of sample 18 to make an oscillating wavetable that formed the noise-y bass synth that starts at 1:36.
-Lastly I used the clicking from sample 3 to double the base of that arpeggio (sample starts at 2:03).

Now for the inspiration behind the song: I kept going back to the idea of nature when working on it. Like just being enraptured by nature and huge entities of it, mountains for instance. I dunno man, it's whatever anyone listening wants it to be though.

Also since I'm working on an album at this point, I've been spending a shit load of time on songs, so I wanted to make it a challenge to spend less than a week on a song for this one.
