I came home from school really tired and upset one day, mostly from the fact that I was at school nearly all day and besides going to class, I didn’t get much work done.

At all.

To take a break, I plopped on the keyboard. I was trying to play perk me up songs like Belle, or even some sort of song from Pirates of the Caribbean that’s invigorating to play, but nothing was really helping my mood. So, I ended up messing around with random keys I don’t normally play much, which is pretty much anything other than C!

I don’t really know how it happened, but I ended up with something I just had to record. I guess the minor tones are in part based on how I was feeling this whole day. It conveys my sadness of work. :P

Of course, this doesn’t help that I have other more important things to do, but somehow I was able to put this all together, including recording it onto my laptop, in less than 30 minutes(?!) which was also pretty surprising.

Since I did this all so quickly, I didn’t really spend much time in enhancing it with Audacity. That means, there’s still a bit of noise because I didn’t perform a noise removal and I didn’t record the instruments to separate tracks and just recorded it all in one. Oh well.
