Happy Sunday everyone! Here’s a simple tune that I really like. I’ve enjoyed listening to it a few times during my daily commute. It has added some calm to the hectic traffic around here. Hope you like it too!
I really need to start taking better notes on these things! While I have patch notes and photos for the knob settings, this recording is one where I can’t remember exactly what I did on the sequencing. Obviously not complicated, yet I don’t think I could recreate it precisely. Ephemeral music.
Bonus Track
Fun fact - this was actually an earlier take on the patch. I thought it was a cool little peppy riff, but ultimately decided to go with something a bit more chill for the main track.
