Quick, it's Sunday night! WEEKLY BEATS! That time of the week again, when the week has gone by at an extortionate rate and you're left with no time and less motivation to do it, but you want to see the thing through (and fully acknowledge that it is a lot of fun to just write SOMETHING as quickly as you can). It's at that point you discover that Ableton Live has some fantastic cymbal and drum samples, and that you can make something swing with quantization and without humans. So you throw together some stuff, improvise a guitar part with your computer keyboard (QWERTY, not MIDI) and cobble a something together. This is that something. I think it took about an hour.

Nice! Those drum samples are impressive

Practicing your QWERTY scales. nice action on that keyboard.  You must of had it set up proper smile

This is wicked dude. Flows really damn well.

awesome!  love the lounge style vibe..

Thanks guys!
@Biko: yeah, really nice
@NWSPR: Hahaha, QWERTY scales!

Apologies for the mixing, was done on laptop speakers. Hah.

Awesome, nice QWERTY swing happening! Maybe this should be a new genre, QWERTY lounge room swing

Cheers!

I play in a QWERTY swing band. New catch phrase for the faux-jazzers in Melbourne?

The New Wave Of Melbourne QWERTY Swing. I like it big_smile

It's only a matter of time before QWERTY spills over into other genres too. As well it should, given this smile
