Impossible sounds

A jam with the OP-Z and the Korg mini kaoss pad 2S

Liner Notes

Another song recorded in a single take, with the Teenage Engineering OP-Z[archived] for sounds and the Korg mini kaoss pad 2S[archived] for effects (I'm using the "Freeze Looper"). I've been experimenting with the tape track on the OP-Z, and in this song I send the main melody to it on the second part, to add some variability and make it much more interesting. It's a fun effect, and I love how the song turned out to be very whimsical!

Again I did some light mastering on Ardour[archived], since the peaks were very high.

Rain samples are from daveincamas[archived].

Whimsical for sure - it's a happy melody, and the quivering effect makes it sound like it's laughing. The coolness of the rain samples is very welcome on this hot day!

Lots of nice sounds, a bit of blippy 8 bit summer chill out vibe, is the tape track a kind of tape delay thingies?
