I had an idea for a song with some vocals, but then I got sick.  My voice is mostly gone so I'm going to have to circle back to that idea later.  In the meantime I had fun playing with my microkorg and churned this out.

Sorry you're sick! Your fans here on WB look forward to hearing your voice again, but your instrumentals are a lot of fun. Microkorg sounds great. This sounds like a fun session you had. Swell sounds mixed together well. I like the swaying, loping along feel, because in 12/8 or 6/8 time perhaps. I'm picturing maybe a robot, either skipping through the forest, or dancing a bespoke waltz with friends.

Nice job! Get well soon!

Have a good recovery! There are bad colds running around lately. This track is hypnotic! Great choice of sounds as well.

Yo, everyone is sick lately, with colds and flus and Covids.  Lots of fluid, lots of rest!

But hey, this song is so cool!  It wins an award for "first song I've downloaded off of WB."  The time feels all intentionally off and out of whack, like there's a waltz-beat underneath somewhere, but that low-chord "bop-ba-ba, bop-ba-ba" is the real hero.  Demented circus music, like deleted scenes from Killer Klowns From Outer Space.  Very cool track, man.

Get well soon. You are excused, have a warm cup of tea.
This sounds intergalactic.


i like the uplifting rhythmic feel!

hope you feel better soon heart

held together by the tiniest strands pushing and polling skipping and crawling through a sonic interplay very nice!

i hope you feel better - this was giving me happy nostalgic vibes as it reminded me of this

Hi CC!  Nice to hear your music again smile. Hindrances can sometimes be inspirational....sorry to hear your helath problem, but this rocks all the right ways. I especially like the contrast between the haapy-go-lucky bassline and the more sinister overdubs. Great one!

Boppin tune that gave me visions of Daleks in Doctor Who chasing peoples yikes Those sparkly thick synths from the microkorg sound extra sweet too.  Hope you're feeling better and recovering!

Hell yeah man, picking right up where you left off.  Loving the chaos.

So much going on here, the space you've created between the different synth layers is great! Hopefully you get better soon. smile

Thanks!  I'm looking forward to getting to do some vocals.  I do like the robot imagery for this!

Thank you!  I'm trying my best to get better, but it's a bit of a lingerer.

  Yeah, it seems like it's going around and it's nasty.  Thanks for listening and for the awesome gif!

Thanks!  Demented circus music sounds like a good description for sure.

All it takes is a few strands!  Thanks for listening.

Thanks!  And yes, sometimes hindrances can strangely be helpful.

Thanks!  I can see that Dalek vibe for sure.

Thanks!  It's fun to get a little chaotic once in a while.

panning on the "squiggle" is essential!
