This is probably the second to last,
if not the last, song like the last 4 that I've shared: centered around a piano progression, with simple, often Latin percussion, and just a bass guitar/synth to map out an idea/chordal idea. I feel like I've exhausted this little exercise, and each song after this sounded more and more similar, so let's get through this one and into some new stuff this week!
Listen to Hyperpiano here.
Tracks 1, 2, 3 and 4 are grouped together
in our "Percussion" (Red) category, and are what I used as an intro into this song. Relatively simple beat, with a few layers being added and subtracted throughout to make things a bit lighter or heavier. Our next 3 Tracks are in the Green Group, PianoChords. Basically, we have Tracks 7 and 8, which mirror each other, just using a slightly different piano tone, and Track 9, which plays the same rhythmic pattern, just harmonizing with 7 and 8 an octave up. As you can see in the overview, we have 2 parts essentially, Dark and Light green, which are repeated throughout the song. The screenshot below shows both sections, consolidated together, from Track 7.
Tracks 7 and 8, described above.

Track 11, described below.
Track 11, described below.Our final group was what I would call
the "melody" parts, which for most of the song is solely Track 11, another piano layer which plays a little melody/diad progression. Track 12 mirrors this progression, using a bass guitar synth + an arpeggiator, but is sidechained to Tracks 7/8, so it cuts out almost entirely when the heavy chord hits happen, and just fills in a bit towards the end of the song, as things fade out. Totally an unnecessary addition, but I got a bit bored and started experimenting, haha.
