Скачать или смотреть The wonders of ear candy

Ear candy refers to small, subtle elements in a song that make it more sonically interesting. Based on how ear candy functions in a beat, it can be grouped into the following 5 categories:

1. Textural Ear Candy: Sounds that make the beat feel richer without standing out too much.

2. Movement-Based Ear Candy: Sounds that make the beat feel less static and more alive.

3. Call-and-Response Ear Candy: Subtle "answering" sounds that interact with the beat.

4. Surprise & Impact Ear Candy: Unexpected elements that make certain moments hit harder.

5. Transitional Ear Candy: Prepare the ear for a shift in the structure or energy.
