Songtober 2020
What is Songtober?
Songtober is a sort of challenge based off of the popular informal drawing event, Inktober. In the case of Inktober, for every day of October, there is a new prompt that should be drawn by whoever is participating. You can read more about it here. When one of my friends shared the 2020 prompt list, since I can't draw, I had the idea to do the challenge but with music instead of drawing. And thus Songtober was born.
Just as a side note, I am sure I am not the first to come up with this idea, but I have also never really seen anyone else do it, so for me it's a new concept. Enjoy my musical interpretations of these prompts.
NOTE: Wearing headphones or using external speakers (not your phone or laptop's built-in speakers) will make your listening experience much better. I promise.

Fish
The main feature of this is the kind of arpeggiated chords in the background through the whole thing. I was kind of going for a "bloop" sound, and it sorta worked I guess? The wah-sounding thing at the beginning was supposed to be a little fishy as well, I don't know why I made that correlation but hey I tried. The bells at the end were supposed to be underwater-y and smooth and stuff. I also drowned the whole thing in reverb (maybe a bit too much) and cut a lot of the high frequencies to add a little bit to the underwater feel.
