This should be an interesting listen

This is the movie score project he was working on, right?

Alc and Jason Goldwatch basically made a short film in reverse. Instead of the movie being done first and the score later, Alc played the score on a synthesizer and then Jason Goldwatch made the film after the music was done.

This is labeled as an "Original Score" and it's not really beats. Just creative/trippy synth music. The film drops tomorrow at noon.

this is one of those projects that probably won't get discussed because scores aren't really a genre that gets discussed. But I do think people will hear this. It's a cool little window into how his brain works. Without these being beats, and with him actually playing a lot of this himself, @subletteafterdark pointed out that you can hear a lot of the ideas he uses in his beats to tie things together.

Yo you know whats crazy? I been focusing on Alchemist development recently and i realised that as much as people take him for a sample/loop master ... If you listen to his work in early 2000's youll find that he didnt even use samples ... it was HEAVY drums and crazy synth patterns

Alc has been a master with synths from EARLY

and dude did the GTA 5 score ... I think a lot of his recent music sounds like he sampled, but actually I think he just using very simple synth loops that sounds like some 80s shyt.

Alc music is too clean, you just know at this point that he aint sampling
