2010 / Skyway by SkyFlowers
"2010" is a nostalgic experimental dance pop track about partying in the 2010s. As someone who was very much an elementary schooler in 2010, all the recession pop-era party songs on the radio had a very different meaning to me than what was intended. So to me, this song is about living life like you're a kid again, hanging out with your friends, playing video games, and just never letting go of that childhood sense of joy.
"Everything was awesome then, do you still remember when we would party back in 2010?"
In terms of sound design, 2010 never really repeats itself. A 45 second experimental FM synth intro explodes into a bouncy club pop track with synths inspired by the pop music of the day.

Skyway is an experimental electronic instrumental inspired by the sounds of house music and the rhythms of progressive rock/jazz fusion. It reflects feelings of an intense highway drive through the city in the middle of the night that eventually turns into a pleasant cruise when the sun comes up. Divided in two distinct segments (Night and Day), syncopated saws, flowing pads, and a drop in 13/8 lead into soaring synths, a crunchy evolving bassline, and cascading arpeggios.

These were two of the last songs I made before graduating college, and I actually started them both as assignments for a music production/songwriting class. I really wanted to push some boundaries and make the most interesting music I could. I've sent the past few months fine-tuning them and I'm so excited to finally share them with you! I hope you enjoy! 🎵
