This sounds like a fun time! Is that like a hackathon where you're supposed to create a video game?

And a Pianica! The best underrated instrument ever!

I really like  the vibe and the melodica is really cool. Very interesting guitar play also. What is the third guy playing?

Yes, exactly! Hackathon but for games.

Thanks! He is playing my iPad hooked up to a piano sound on the midi controller and the Borderlands granular synth on the touchscreen.  he's making noise from old samples and manipulating them, but it's hard to hear as there are noises coming from the room as well.

HahA! Sorry about that! I tried to"react" to that with a melodica line. I kinda like these random accidents
Thank you for listening!

Try rolling your Rs while you blow into it. Like "HoRRRRRRRRRRatiu"

Great jam! And so many interesting techniques and textures going on in here.  I don’t think I’ve ever heard (or even thought of doing) a note bend on melodica!

Cool to hear your keyboard style adopted to the melodica! Feel like it forced you to hold back a bit. Also wild how many computer ppl there are here myself included 🤖

Do you usually play as monotonically in the right hand? Feel like I wanted to hear more chords and intervals. Love the melodica, though I can’t just leave things alone I also prefer it drenched in reverb 😆

Thanks! I discovered this technique during this jam ahha. just blow hard in it

Thanks! I try to adapt my playing depending who I play with, to support the music. Still I only got so many chops but at least it makes for a somewhat recognizable style... maybe.

As for monotonic right hand, in this case a melody was needed because both guys were doing heavy textures and little melody, so I chose to go this way. But in another part of the jam when someone was doing more melody, I did more chords and rhythm to support them. Melodica has a gritty way of resonating when more notes are being played at once, but it can quickly get overwhelming so I try to use it sparsely for maximum effect.

I'll go ahead and take it with me tonight in case I jam again haha

The piece is nice and meandering. Makes for nice background when hacking on stuff.

Nice jam from the jam. Jamming while jamming sounds fun, way to vary things, take a nice break! I like hearing a melodica, but seeing one played is more fun. I like your guitar playing!
