Friday Good Good Jam

My job gave us Friday off, because they want us to think they are a good employer I think. So I did a little jam on my hardware stuff. Been bobbing my head to this all weekend. Bass from circuit monostation, synths circuit tracks, percussions circuit rhythm (I sure love that circuit family, very jammable). Mouth sounds through Kaoss pad. Synth that sounds like mouth sounds from a synth patch on organelle. Made it sound talky by turning that one knob, while also turning that other knob, happy accident as usual (freq and filter res I think). That part of the jam was exciting: I say to my dog (the only family member who seemed imterested) "it sounds like a voice! I have birthed a synth baby!" Hopped on the e-drum kit and played for a while just to remind my arms they can move around and hit things. Used those drums recording in the middle section, and chopped it up for little textures throughout. Recorded all this into Ableton for some more chippity chops, sausage fattening, drum bussifying and what nots. Have been experimenting with Bandlab free Ai mastering, so put this through there on one of their four settings, "clarity", seemed to make it sound better than I had it sounding so there we go.
This experience reminded me that creating music is a bit of self therapy, a bit of a mindfulness practice that's all the rage these days. Got to escape, create, forget about the yuck yuck and boo blah out there. Hope all of you are doing well, and creating this weeks song also brought you something positive!!
