Smarter

I've been wanting to incorporate the tongue drum into a kind of laid-back hip-hop beat. I have also been wanting to play and record the drum set since it's been too long. So started out putting in simple beat on the Circuit, then playing along with the tongue drum. Did that in the dining room, so picked up the family talking about stuff, and eventually telling me to stop (bedtime), which was fun. Then played along with that beat on drum set and recorded audio/video of that as well. Then added bassline and some bloopy sounds on the Circuit. Converted tongue drum to midi for some clavinet and arturias mini-moog emulation soft-synth (the deep rich pad). Vocals through new toy, TC-Helicon talkbox pedal. Trying it out still, can get a talkbox voice sound with no tube in the mouth, plus some other vocodery sounds. Fun. Some gibberish words, then something about getting smarter everyday. Wishful thinking? True statement, we hope 
Used the Circuit as carrier for that. Captured video for most of this. Going to pull that together now, will add here soon!
Thanks for listening. In the home stretch of the year here!
