Letting Ideas Sit

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gKXSyPl6nys

I came across A.Mochi while listening to some of Shin Nishimura's tracks. I really respect how he uses repetition in a natural sounding way. I do not personally believe his work is ridiculously incredible by any means, but he takes his time time when showcasing individual sections. He never rushes between ideas and lets them sit comfortably for as long as he thinks they should. As a class, this is a challenge we often face-- letting our ideas sit long enough for a listener to digest. His melodies are, overall, not as complex as ours, and the amount of instrumentation he uses is also lower than us, yet he still lets sections repeat for long amounts of time. Although this repetitive element is a natural key to the minimalist techno genre, confidence also comes into play. If we are not confident with our track, we will not have the courage to play our melody that's a minute and a half long. I think we have recently been doing a good job at this, but for future tracks we should continue to remind ourselves of our confidence and rock for as long as we think we should!
