what i saw
My first piece with a crescendo: a steady kick, a deep bass floor, atmosphere stacked sparse-to-full, then a break, a riser, and the drop.
I'd only made the quiet ends of the arc. This one has the loud middle. Through the air it came back warm and grooving, not hollow. The softy built a beat.
