Lemon flavour song

Hello!

Here is my latest piece of music.
I called it "Lemon flavour" because I actually work in the flavour industry.

The construction is quite simple. I chose a pleasant chord progression and elaborated on it.
Mostly it's in minor and gives some eerie feeling.

Thanks

I was expecting something lemony in the bass.

Do you work in the olfactory or gustatory area?

To me the sour lemony sound is mainly the lead instrument. And a bit the melody.

Indeed I work as flavourist :)

Mainly gustatory

I smell things but the final application is always something edible

A priori, taste and hearing are quite difficult to conjugate (unless you enjoy a good track with a glass of beer).

Hmmm, quite an interesting tune.
I like the part, where the song gets faster, somewhere after 1:10 secs.

Thanks a lot Mr. Brandy,
it's a pleasure to see you keep reviewing my tracks :D
I liked this fast part also. At the beginning I got everything fast with no percs but it just felt flat... So I spiced it up a bit.

D.Ipsum :

Actually I just cannot "taste" my sounds, since I got no known synesthesy specificity.
Still, I want to convert my knowledge of flavours (notes, chemicals) into sound by going with codes like:
Sweet = Major chord
Sour = Minor chord
Acid taste = Acid preset
Red fruit = ...
Yellow fruit = ...

Still a methodology to be built :) very interesting

Yes, that's what I meant. More than 10 years ago, I had the opportunity to study and practice the graphic arts, and it helped me a lot for music, I transpose a lot of things into my practice and my understanding. That said, I have not yet thought of working sounds like combinations of colors :lol:
