Some cool sounds in here, but a little hard to follow at times - some of it sounds a little distorted/glitchy. Some of the voices are out of sync or competing with each other which makes it hard to follow. I think if you maybe took out just one of the voices you'd have something really solid!

Track description | Creative process
This is the first time I used both the Roland FA-08 and the Akai 25-key MPKMini together, the latter to control the DAW in Mixcraft 10.5 Pro Studio. The 'backbone' of the piece was made in the Roland and then flourishing synth-lead voices were added by playing notes on the Akai into Mixcraft while the WAV file from the Roland was an Audio file (I also used the Roland's MIDI to double Mixcraft-exclusive instruments, for 3 total sources)
This is envisaged as a loop but its structure kind of falls apart at the end, it's strongest in the beginning. As the first time I was combining from multiple things it's very much an experiment.
