I’ve been listening to a bit of this kind of music. It’s generally very restful, quite repetitive, sometimes kinda jazzy in harmony, and also has the lo fi sound which I really rather like. (I’m wondering actually if I can mix it up with for e.g. my beloved olde soundfonts and in-between era game music sounds… something to try at some point…)
For now though I tried to make a couple tracks in approximately this genre this week:
This was done quite quickly and not necessarily with too much detail as to the mechanics of lo fi, but it was fun also to be throwing around 7th chords from the very beginning of this book. The tune is the kids’/folk song ‘The Fox’! The fox went out on a chilly night… etc.
For this next one I tried to more closely follow some specific tropes of the genre (though I’m still just barely getting into this!) — had fun sampling my own piano playing from a bit ago.
