The challenge was #SecondChances, and it was about using the existing tracks from an existing (abandoned?) production provided by @BrianFunkMusic.
The challenge was as ambiguous as those MusicWeeklies things get.
I opted to a) use no other sources except for the supplied sounds, b) not use all of them, c) not go completely haywire, but not use sources "as is", either.
There's a stray cat living near the retirement home my father is staying in. My wife, that wonderful fool, decided that this cat needed to see a vet, and after consulting with the vet, that the cat also needed to receive some care in the short term. Which would then be supplied by us.
I got dibs on naming rights, so this undernourished cat is now named after one of the four mythological guardians of Feng Shui, "Byakko".
Samples. Cats. Ah, and there's a reggaeton/son clave-kind of thing. And slicing/chopping. And granular tombfoolery. And a pretty nice bass voice (yup, made only from the supplied electric bass part).
