909s and HQ Jazz Kit bay beee. I've had this first pattern stuck in my head for a few days now and while the polyrhythmic version sounds better there than in real life, this works ok

10052018 Cyclic Drum Loop

working on my slicex workflow. getting kinda tired of flower boy so i'ma revisit the track in a few weeks.

Dream State

I have no idea what bossa nova chords go like, but the drums do. So. 

Picking out instruments was somewhat tricky. I settled on more acoustic sounding presets to get more of a light mood going, which made it hard to pick out a proper bass voice. 

An exercise in 3 part harmony. Might expand on it later on because the chords are basically (I IV VI V) but with some augmentedness.

11252018 Bossa Nova ish

started off with a fun e piano 3 note pattern, then played it inverted on the left hand. not a fully fleshed out track but has a general feel for two sections and room for growth

11282018 Counter Piano

i put a bossa nova beat with side chaining to the baseline from giant steps. improvisation proved... difficult for version 1. we'll see if we come back to this

big steppy

lovin these synthwave sounds from dexed and the SQ8L. more practice with cleaner EQ separation, panning, and compression, to create more space in the mix
