Abyss of Abundance by sactorocker

Song Description

Abyss of Abundance is a hard rock composition.

Hookpad Process

Hookpad plays a central role in our "Plan C Project" compositions. This year I've used ChatGPT to generate preliminary lyric ideas: "Generate rock lyrics for Abyss of Abundance." I refine the lyrics with a focus on rhythm, then input the melody into Hookpad, initially using the same note for all syllables. Once the lyric rhythm feels right, I assign notes to each syllable. With the melody established I utilize Hookpad to explore various chords and progressions that complement the melody. When the Hookpad arrangement is finalized, I share the URL with my remote collaborator for his input. If we agree to proceed with the composition, I export the individual tracks as WAV files. This provides my collaborator with the necessary tracks to develop guitar and bass elements. Simultaneously, I work on vocal tracks using the exported files. Additionally, I generate Lead and Tab sheets for reference (accessible at www.plancproject.com). Finally, I utilize FL Studio to build the tracks and handle the mixing process.

Thank you to sactorocker for your submission!
