Music for Dystopian Supermarkets by Tenalock (Unreleased Jam) - YouTube

I like making chillwave and just going with the flow. For this I used the demo version of Spire which is a great soft synth and didn’t bust out the analog machines so I could work super fast. I set up all the sounds and effects I wanted and then just jammed this together as I felt it. For those interested in the video, I made the static image after about 30 ChatGPT prompts, then animated the display in InShot free version which is very simple , and then sent that back into InShot for some glitch effects. I got the aesthetic I wanted. I do everything on my phone. It is so much quicker. For the rhythmic pulsating sound, I used side chaining and just used a kick drum to create a pulsation pattern I liked. You can also use lfo tool or shaper box. Tal makes a filter you can draw in filter shapes too which is free and I have used in the past. Effects wise I used eos 1 reverb by audio damage which is super awesome and free. These are just fun tracks to get into the chill mood with but if you like a bit more uptempo and full of epic analog synths also be sure to check my new album just out now. It is kind of synthwave vs disco vs chillwave vs daft punk vs 70 synth funk. I used a Sequential Prophet 5, a moog, a Casio CZ, and a Korg DW 6000 on it. I have had 150 000 plays of my music, and this album had just been played on FM radio in the US and Australia.

i was on apple music and got suggested an album similar to vega into night school by neon indian, the cover was a dark cluttered bedroom studio, the first song was the title track but i can’t for the life of me remember the title, i listened to the first track and i remember it being chillwave with hints of synthwave, it came out early 2010s like 2012-14 i just can’t remember its name

edit: i found it!!! the same “more like vega intl night school” thing popped up and it was multi-love by unknown mortal orchestra i poorly remembered and i don’t think this is chillwave 😭

It's been 13 years...wow.

Figured I'd drop a link, maybe someone would appreciate it.

Keep in mind, this written when I was 16. Made a couple songs a year or two after, so there was a lot of learning to do back then with Logic Pro. I think it turned out ok for not having taken classes on this stuff.

Makes me want to buy a keyboard and start writing again...

It's kinda eclectic, I was going through a stage trying to find myself through music at that time in my life. So it's kind of a mix between chillwave/IDM/electonic. Definitely some heavy Tycho influences.
