Single Vacation

I wrote this little tune after coming back from a both joyful and melancholic single vacation and nerding out on music theory for a bit. I was consumed by the idea of mixing A-flat major (for the joy of the bright sun and the beach, exploration, and discovery) with the Turkish Hicaz makam (for the bittersweet emptiness of not being able to share these experiences with someone). Luckily, if you keep working on a short loop in Ableton Live, you end up listening to it about a million times, and it inevitably starts sounding remotely passable.
