Jamabeats 002

Trying to get really out of my comfort zone in terms of construction... Wrote this on a new laptop in the kitchen, programing all the parts with a mini keyboard. Haha the mix is a bit meh, because I don't have my full suite of stuff on the laptop but it's good enough.

One big crutch I've been relying on is the transpose function, I'm going to go transpose free for this year, learning how to play in different keys which is fun! B major for this one, only 2 black keys to start!

I'm doing on week laptop, one week desktop to mix it up too.

Playing around with Plogue SFC, used it for the piano and strings, really love the lofi sound. Loading samples is lots of fun on such a simple sampler. Got a DX7 for bass, love the punch!

Loving those slightly crunch beats. Really nice synth sounds, specially that background melody

I'm loving playing around with DX7 for bass, it's quite dynamic to playing!

Really dreamy and mystical imagining an upbeat RPG overworld map with maybe exploring by a boat

I feel like I should be shopping for vegetables.

January 17, 2022 7:45 pm

Oooh I dig the vibe on this a lot. Cool chords.

DX7 is good! I also use the Arturia DX7 V as a reference for creating the sound of the M8

January 21, 2022 6:39 am

Nice beat, groovy!

January 22, 2022 8:55 am

B major, only 2 black keys? There should be 5 unless your keyboard is inverted! Learning to play in different keys is fun, I'm learning too. This track is much groove!

I guess the kitchen can be seen as one place one would be out of their comfort zone when it comes to composing, but it's done you well.

Bopping along to this one mate! Ohhh the chords too ... really beautiful. Love this as a work... and the interplay between minor and major. Miss ya mate - it's been ages between catch ups :-o
