Tracktober 022:  Strut in E minor at 131 BPM

Day 22 of my Tracktober challenge 🎃 — every day this month I’m writing and posting a track sketch. These are works-in-progress (WIP), not finished mixes (I only put max 2 hours into each one!) — the goal is to practice showing up daily, experiment with new ideas, and share the creative process openly instead of waiting until everything is “perfect.”

• Concept: Jazz! I’ve made a lot of original jazz in my life, and getting to try some new ideas out with arturia instruments has been a vibe! 
• What I practiced: composition, sound design, synth hunting

• Imperfections: I need to get more time to build out melodies to keep it fun, but I didn’t have a MIDI controller today, so i had to use my laptop only. 
• Influences: My brother, band mate and favorite trumpet player, Mark! 

Drop me a comment if a moment catches your ear! I’d love to hear what stands out to ya!
