Here’s a lofi track with rotoscope animation I made about those isolated nights doomscrolling and wide awake - I was experimenting with tritones a lot in this to give it an off-kilter feel

Sasha Vie “Sleepless” (spotify apple etc)

Enjoy!

Wow yeah it’s cool to hear the way you harmonized this progression leaning into the dissonance of those tritones on what would’ve otherwise been a more soothing lo-fi track. It feels like an alternate dimension where everything is darker than it normally would be.

Glad you enjoyed it!

Yeah I was trying to convey that dreading sense of unease lurking underneath, something I've been feeling over the past few years lol - sort of like how things on the surface (personally speaking) seem okay, but underneath there's something a little "off" that you can't quite put your finger on, like that creeping sense of dread before a big scare in a horror movie (but the scare not coming, so it's just low-key dread)

The use of tritones seemed to just work (at least for me) to convey that

Thanks for listening!
