This month's genre was created by FGC8 winner /u/thetopsec (PhiloSophAnomalies on SoundCloud).
This month's fanciful genre: Eallado
Description
An electronic sort of ballad. Usually under 100 BPM. Very long melodic lines with harmonies played by different synths. Light drums that often have pitch edits. Vocals are rare, but when presented, are usually chopped up and placed in the background/rhythm. This genre is known to have bass lines emerge from the lead line, and vice versa. In other words, the bass line will sometimes crawl to the top to become a lead, and the lead will sometimes fall to the bottom and become your bass, but not necessarily at the same time. Often written in minor key, but sometimes finds itself starting in major and switching to minor at the midpoint of the song.
How To Submit
