It’s Sunday and that means it’s time for some ambient jamming! Today’s tune is kind of upbeat with a structured “drum” track from the Moog DFAM. It’s fairly simple patch and sequence that came about from some late evening noodling. I love when something like this comes together with a little experimentation and I can sit back and relax with the results. Enjoy!
Bonus Track
Here’s a bonus track that slows the tempo a bit for an even more laid-back vibe.
