Inspiration
Today I produced an uplifting track inspired by Spring, called "Eternal" because I live in the city of the Eternal Spring, Cochabamba is called like that because the weather is always comfy and that’s why it is ideal for agriculture and also for tourism, and is perfect for living pretty much.
That why it is considered the capital of flowers too, because its always sunny and all kinds of flowers bloom all year long. So all of that inspired to make an energetic techno track.
So thats where the main inspiration comes to make this track, never ending energy (Eternal) and also does the Spring and no matter what happens in life I think we should be in that uplifting mindset, because we are alive, and just to be able to experience that is a blessing in itself.
For me, Spring is more than just a season; it’s a reminder of life’s beauty and the opportunities we have to grow and thrive, like I always say; every day is a blessing.
I poured that feeling into "Eternal," and I hope it resonates with you too, that is why this track is really special to me. So it is time to dance and move that body it's time to celebrate life!
I have been really down this past few days and some difficulties knocked in my doors, but that actually is what made me think that as long as we have breath in our lungs we have the oportunity to be grateful with life.
I think that being happy is a choice, and today I choose positivity!
Process
First of all I used a piano using the FL KEYS, a simple but effective tools to make melodies, but today I used as an additional layer.
As an intro playing the note C5 and then I added the clap, and then the drums with 4/4 time signature. I used this to make it dancy. The idea was to keep it energetic and fun, just like the feeling of Spring itself. Nothing complicated just pure chill fun.
After that I added the lead melody with the synth preset sound of the plugin Sytrus, its perefect for techno. It brings the traditional dance feeling to it, but futuristic at the same time.
These are the notes I used for that lead synth melody:
I added the Chorus sound that like my signature sound at this point, without even noticing it, because for some reason its always present on my tracks.
After that I used the Gross beat effects plugin to make some variations, from the middle part to the end. It sounds even more futuristic.
This is the scree recording of the whole process:
I uploaded this project to my distrokid account so its available in all platforms like youtube, spotify, and others
Artwork
To make the artwork I wanted to use my abstract art, I choose to make a colorful one, I tried with many forms and shapes but I choose the one with a combination of pink and orange with blue, because that is the colors of many flower that grow in my city.
But also I choose this image because it is not only abstract colors of flowers but it have movement with the effects, that movement represent the energy of the track that is always in transformation like the variations of the effects.
And also I choose this one because it has a futuristic vibe to it, because it's techno after all, it has to be like fresh like that.
To make this artwork I first used a font that is also futuristic that fits the techno vibe:
And to make the artwork for the cover art I used the Camtasia software, so the key to make gifs is really simple, first you have to render the MP4 made on Camtasia where you can edit all you want...like this
...and when you have the mp4 you convert it to gif. I use sometimes some sites that do that like:

After that you cut it or add some more effect using a nice gif editor online like:

If you use the phone it is easier because there is an app called literally "GIF" that does all of those things in one.
So people, let's choose positivity, that is the message of this post basically, no matter what life throws our way.
Finally cheers to Spring, energy, and the beauty of being alive!!!
That’s the post for today, thank you for reading and taking your time to visit my blog, until next time with more music and art!
