y u no stereo? (m8 jam)

Hello all!
Originally I'd done a whole banging techno jam, similar to a few of weeks ago... once again in a couple of airport lounges / planes. But I've been running around with family and their kids and come Sunday 10pm the thought of recording techno doesn't compute!So this is something I'd noodled up earlier today while I was showing my 11yo little cous how the M8 worked. So I added a little bridge bit, some better drums, then jammed it out in one take. Although it recorded in Mono (config mistake in Reaper). So it looses a lot in translation to mono. I consider this a half-finished-song-jammed-out and feel it needs another bridge / build section with some more Triton pads.
The other reason I was totally wiped out today was because I swam out to the end of a jetty with my older cousin earlier today forgetting I hadn't really swam properly in 3 years. About 2/3 of the way I was totally outta breath realizing I wasn't as fit as I used to be! You can't stop in middle of an ocean for a rest, especially with a swell pushing you around, so I treaded water for a bit and keep going as you do. Easily made it to the jetty ladder, but I was stuffed for the rest of the day. (although I did still win at mini-golf later on in the day!)
So yeah - family holiday vibes - ocean strugglez - lots of food. I was in the mood for techno while travelling here... but now I've spent a couple of days around fam, it's all chill wishy washy house vibes now. Tunes ay. I never quite know what a weekly beat is going to turn into "in the moment". I hope everyone else is well!
