Dad Funk

Hey, happy fathers day. This is an edit of a little jam I had this weekend with fellow father and Creatures Once bandmate Monstrosus. We chatted about music and being dad's of future music creators. Then we decided we should make some funk. So I guess this must be some dad funk. I put down drums and percussion from the circuit rhythm, rhytm synths from the circuit tracks and bass from the circuit monostation while Mr. M played tasty keys on top. I added some vocal textures, then hopped over on the e-drums to play along for a while.
The icing on this funky dad cake is the tasty alto sax played by my son. He's freshly graduated from 8th grade, where he got his first taste of jazz, and improvisation. Today we listened to this track, chatted about notes to play (the whole alto sax being in Eb is still confusing to me). Then after listening to the track, he busted this tasty little melody here. Then we talked about which take to use, rearranged a bit, and added the magic reverb. A little collaboration and sharing the funk is the best father's day gift.
