This piece really does feel like it could build into something much bigger, so I hope at some point you're able to get back to it and explore it further. It's got a great feel and the different pieces fit together really nicely.

Technical difficulties are really the worst, especially when you're feeling the creative flow.  You got good results anyway.  Has a nice dream-like feel to it.  Nice ending, too.

Very cool track, and yes this is an awesome community and a pretty cool challenge to do.

Give me drab ambient stuff any day.  A lovely piece and great work using the OP-1 to do it.  I've been working on one OP-1 piece lately and it really does take some careful edits to piece something interesting together.  One wrong push of a button can mean disaster!  Haha. 

Really dig the hazy sounding bass in contrast to the brighter melodic lines.  How'd you do the drums?  Are they sampled in from somewhere?

this song feels like a big warm hug. Thank you for this. Sorry for your technical problems. Stay cool.

We could all take solace in Emily Squirrel's listening ear, really.

Great song, too.

You can do surf music just fine, but you'll want to pass it through a band filter first so it sounds like a radio broadcast.

Epic sound! Reflective and contemplative. Slow beat and that snare are lush!

Yeah this week was super frustrating because I felt like I had a really solid idea in my head but I couldn't finish it off because the power switch on my op-1 is acting up and it only turns on half the time grrrrr. Thanks for tuning in.

Thank you! The op has some lovely sounds for sure.

Yes indedd, thank you.

Great community of very uniquely creative individuals.

I love that about this machine, you're only ever one slip of a finger away from catastrophe. The drums were some samples that the previous owner of my machine had installed. The biggest struggle I find with the OP drums is the lack of velocity sensitivity. In order to approximate "feel" on this machine I did multiple takes of the drums at different volumes playing slight variations of the groove which I think worked nicely.

Hugs are available any time.

Thank you!

Cheers for listening.

The other thing that makes it harder but is kind of cool too is you have to play your parts in real time unless you spend some time manually sequencing. Nice work with getting 'velocity' on the drums.

Great stuff, the sombre tone is really nicely played out on the light epiano. The harmonies are so satisfying too, this has a really full tone in the bass.

That's a beautiful compo, I love all the melodies weaving in together, a great story unfolds from it. Keep pursuing what you feel like pursuing, I'll be delighted to tag along for the ride!

I was definitely getting those post rock feels in the beginning.  With the drums it reminded a bit of Caspian's stuff.  The intro/outro chords are super relaxing and soothing for these times.
