Abstract Colors

A little jam this Tuesday while I was in a good mood. Vocals, chords, bass, drums etc. all improvised, first idea, first take. Arranged, edited and chopped the longer vocal clips down throughout the week and had to toss out some Kaoss pad noisy stuff I liked but didn't fit.
Starting a song when in a good mood is fun. When you go back to edit that song and you're in a kind of normal or not good mood, they can kind of make you gag a little. And then you don't want to edit them. But you want to create a song this week so you do it anyway. Then you kind of start enjoying it. You listen to it on a day when you're in a normal mood and you kind of smile a little. Then maybe you go see your city symphony play the music of Star Wars and in case you needed reminding, you have a lot to learn about music, about life, about all the things.
Some notes
First and last section: Main chords and melody on Ableton's Tension, Clav4 preset, and Electric, Old School Roads. Bass: Operator, Boffner preset (my go to), and AfroDJMac's Haze pack. Drums: Elphnt Erth kit, he built entirely in the Operator synth, and AfroDJMac's Noverture Smash kit.
Vocals: improvised into Kaoss Pad, recorded into Live. The chopped baby sounds are some my vocals, sliced, pitched up and randomly played. (That's the only time its ok to say chopped baby.)
The departure rando middle section (I love doing those) - Pocket Operators: PO12 drums and PO35 Speak vocals, some clips sliced and chopped after recording into Live.
Appreciate all feedback and input, thanks for listening another week!
