slowly, quietly

Just sat down at the keyboard and played all black keys and this is what I got. Simple songs are often more intimidating to me because they don't feel "finished" or "good enough". I've recently been aware of how many "not good enough" messages I give myself in a day. This is an attempt for me to do something small and simple and say that it's good enough. I like this song. I think it could have some great placement on an album that would really enhance it. The tempo is 67.70 bpm because that's what I tapped out. This was an Ableton synth. I really liked the metronome I was playing to, and replaced it with a warmer sounding clave. I slightly adjusted the times to mimic a human. The second half of the song has a room recording of me sitting in the basement, putting cables away, turning off equipment and lights. You can hear the furnace running. This song could also be about knowing when to walk away.
I leave the room - slowly, quietly
