Slow Down

[Wookiee]

Something a little different.

Making use of some of the tools at my disposal, some of the playing is curtesy of EZKeys grooves, my chord selection.

Nice! I'm trying to decide today if I should buy EZkeys2, it's on sale.

Inventive use of EzKeys - I'm currently trying to do more of this (writing my own chord progressions and then applying EzKeys grooves using the replace midi function) - instead of just writing lyrics for the built-in grooves written and played by someone else - although that's been fun to do (and it worked out pretty well for Bernie Taupin). 😉😂.

I'm finding Scaler pretty good for developing chord progressions I wouldn't have necessarily thought of.

Nice work.

It is an interesting tool, it would be easy to "cheat" and use the grooves they supply and build songs. I don't think it is their intention though, as noted by Andy it, like Scaler 2 can help find alternative chords to give more flow. 

The other reason is if, like myself, the paws just aren't as articulate as they were, old and arthritic, frequently painful, using tools like this and Scaler 2, I can keep making noise. 😉 

Thanks for your ears, time and kind words.

They are all tools to be used creatively, some abuse, but the inventive and creative exploit. 

Thanks for the time, the ears, and comments.

I like the kind of Theremin sound in there.
I bought UJam virtual pianist recently on sale. It's similar to EZKeys I think. Haven't used it yet.

Thanks Bjorn, probably the Softube model 72 (Mini Moog model D).

I think that's the best track of yours I've heard - it's hauntingly familiar (and haunting!) in a really good way.  I'd mix the lead "theremin" with a little less top end and a little more delay/reverb, but apart from that, I think it's a great mix.

Thanks Xoo, possibly a little to much top, appreciate your ears and comments.

That lead synth drills right into my brain (in a good way).

Nice work.

Apologies for the new hole, glad it was a good way.
