| Tape 7 | Tasting notes: low, slow, blue, rhodes, moments of implied gospel chord transitions, wet frog sounds, scratchpad jam, tried to make drums slow and simple enough that the repeating pattern wasn’t noticeable, played live, need an extra hand to mess with more stuff. Wanders off. | Rhodes | #electroBlues #LowNSlow #IndieElectroBeats #synth #rhodes |
