There used to be more butterflies

I wanted to make a waltz but it turned into the usual 4/4 time. First i had developed the main melody, then added layer uppon layer on top of it. Most of my leads usually contain no more than two or maybe three different instruments but in this, the finallies are played by at least ten different voices, which doesn't necessarily mean that it has to be good because of that, but i wanted to try something new and managing more than five different instrumenst at a time definitely wasn't easy especially in the mixing department. One of the Instruments had some tiny disturbing sounds which almost drove me crazy until i could finally get rid of them.

The next challenge was to structure the whole song. As nice as the finalies and the whole ensemble sound, i can't let it play the same thing over and over again for four minutes and call it a day. I played around with some chords which let me to the slower parts before, between and after the drops. It would have been impossible for me to create these parts a few years ago, especially the slight melodies playing and developing from beginning to end. Maybe the slow parts are too big of a contrast to the drops and the finallies because they keep it from being an ordinary EDM track but that wasn't my goal to begin with.

I really enjoy the slight variations of the main melody and how it morphs into and out of the slower parts.

The picture was taken by egomaschine and chosen by me because i liked it and it fit the theme of the song even though it should probably be a bit more lifeless.
