This is what I played on Maui. Hope it could pass along the island atmos and underwaters vibe. Did not try to replicate it though, it just came out.  100% Korg Gadget app driven by OP-Z by Teenage Engineering (no wires, midi goes over bluetooth). Unrefined, unmastered, direct upload from iPad micro-studio based on lanai somewhere on Maui. Aloha!

I've just started my exploration into EDM in 2022. I've found my genre that vibes with me so far is psy trance. I am open to the venture of seeking out and finding new electronic vibes. I'm sure I'm only scraping the top surface of a deep well of incredible energy!
