I wrote the melody and all the parts myself, and played the first 24 measures (44 seconds), and from the 45th second, Aurora helped. It turned out well, as this co-authorship made the theme more diverse and unpredictable. I am very pleased with my progress over the last 2 years, as I have grown from just a DJ to a versatile musician who can handle anything. And I continue to study music theory to further improve the results.

I stick to the classic four-on-the-floor for the 808-based foundation, but in the melodic part, asymmetries dominate my work (e.g., today I played the bass part not in 4/4 but in 3/5). This is one of the key differences in my unique style of House, which I named Ukrainian Deep. I also really love the 3/2 pattern or its sub-versions 1/2/2 or 2/2/1. So most often, triplets and quintuplets dominate my music. I believe that such an uneven, "swaying" rhythm creates an even more danceable atmosphere.

Instruments used for the "Gentley" theme:

• Bass 1: Short Bell (I modeled the wave into a stretched sinusoid so that it sounds so soft and deep, in a "deep house" way).

• Bass 2: Caribic epiano (the same regarding the wave).

• Solo: Dream Bell.

• Pad: Sytrus Warm.

• Heavy Strings: Raspy.

• Kick, clap, hi-hat, and percussion: all 808s.

Melody Basis:

8-measure phrase for Dream Bell:

C3 C3 A#2 | A#2 A#2 C3 | C3 C3 G#2 | G#2 A#2 A#2 G#2 C3 | C3 C3 A#2 | A#2 A#2 G#2 | G#2 G#2 F2 | F2 G#2 A#2 G#2 C3 |

8-measure bass part for Short Bell:

A#2 A#2 C3 | C3 C3s C3s C3 C3 | G#2 G#2 G#2 | A#2 A#2 C3s C3s C3 | A#2 A#2 C3 | G#2 G#2s G#2s A#2 A#2 | F2 F2 F2 | F2 G#2 A#2s A#2s A#2 |

(The letter "s" marks a short note = 1/16, the rest I used as 2/16, and for the pad - whole notes).

Pad: C7 A#6 C7 G#6 | C7 A#6 G#6 F6

(Here it is layered differently; you can also play it from C6 and descend into the 5th octave, and if you change the pad to another one, some pads fit from C5 + descending into the 4th octave). I think I'll make more than one cover of my theme, as there are ideas to play it differently; you can't fit everything into one go.
