Awash With Contemplation

One take performance on the OP-XY.  No edits.

This song started as an experiment using the internal mic on the OP-XY for sampling direct to the device.  The first thing I sampled (while my heater fan was running) was an old nylon string guitar which I sampled chromatically over one octave so the various notes have different tonal characters even though most of the notes used here were a single source resampled down.

The other sound source I sampled was a lock groove on a Roberta Flack record I was listening to.  This was sampled straight from my stereo speaker into the mic.  This gives the track that warm vinyl texture.  Authentic!

The rest of the sounds were ones I already had in the device or from the built in synth engines.

All the chops/edits/fx/glitches were done in real time on the OP-XY also.

This is great.

The samples manipulation is great. The (pitched down?) guitars have a very warm and organic tone.

Beat is pretty cool as well, I really like the laid back groove.

love it. what a groove. the reverb snare (w/ and w/out reverb) is so tasty. and that acoustic sound is so comforting.
Roberta forever heart
