Years

Wow. What powerful, meaningful and intense weeks. Much respect and solidarity to all those who are fighting for justice, who have been and will continue fighting for years. I went to protest today. It was inspiring, and sad, and happy and everything. It was peacful too. Work to be done, so much on some many levels. But I'll be optimistic that we'll progress. Keep on going strong. And creators - keep creating good art. That is something powerful.
This came out of a couple emotional and fun sessions this week. Creating sounds because that's what I do when I don't know what else to do and it makes me feel better. Needed to bang on things. In addition to Djembe, broke out a talking drum my dad just gave me. It's gotten a little limp in its old age. Have to squeeze it real hard to get the juicy tones. Not unlike my dad in its own ways. Did some mouth sounds through the kaoss pad. Started with a bassline from the Volca Kick. Then synths - some monostation, max for cats, and prophet, rhodes samples. It was getting darker and more chaotic, and that was fun, but not the end of the story. Took a break, came back and played some funkier keys. There will be some chaos, a lot of anger, and eventually a little dancing, and looking forward.
