"Levi, stop yelling at the washing bin!"

After starting several projects in hopes of finding the “right melody” to work with with the goal of making it to Chiptunes=Wins Volume 6 , I finally thought i landed on a project that would end up being my submitted track! However, things got hectic at work and i hit a wall with this melody as well. “Perhaps I should have someone be my Dr.Watson so that I can Sherlock Holmes all over this biatch” i thought, and shun the “Sacio-light” into the night sky. I asked if he had started working on a song for this years Volume, and it turned out that he was in the exact same spot as I; a started project which also had hit a wall. He was positive about doing some collab and I was about to send him my unfinished track. However, I gave his track a listen first, and immediately said “Never mind my track, Let’s go with yours, man!” and started composing like crazy, rendering the aforementioned wall as crushed to smithereens! Sacio was quite busy with math exams and such, so I clocked quite some hours on the project. In order to not fully “take over” the track, I initiated a couple of short meet-ups were we would double-chip the dip together.
During our second meetup, Sacio was taking care of a friend’s poodle, named Levi. And as the track moved towards its finish line, we had to come up with a name. Both Sacio and I might be equally lousy at this part, although I might be the poorest in this area :P Lucky for us, Levi told us the track name via a tiny woof ;)
Even though the track was originally started by Sacio, he told me that he felt that it would make more sense if my name was first in the title, since I in fact clocked a whole solid amount of hours in this project.
I thanked him and accepted the suggestion.
Review by Chiptunes=Win-blog:
When ‘Puddel’ first started playing, I thought this was a new track from quite a different Nordic duo – namely, it has all the trappings of a xyce song, but actually comes from faRk and Sacio! It’s a pretty short track, but it manages to fit in a few pretty sneaky thematic shifts even though they happen at pretty regular intervals. Just from a compositional standpoint, it’s always fun to pick apart songs like this because it’s interesting to see how people who understand how the ‘formula’ of music works will go and stitch their variations on a theme together over and over until they have a full song. That’s not to say this track is formulaic or predictable by any stretch – merely that with enough time to analyze, you can see what faRk and Sacio were thinking in terms of timings. Is that just a me thing? Am I the only one who likes doing that? Okay…

@RynMcq Does this mean there will be adorable puppy barking on the track? :O
You got it, Erin ;-*
