Instrumental, midi-synth-samples with some acoustic instruments processed through reverb & distortion. Interesting bits here and there. Feels like home studio solo jamming. No discernible words= no FCCs. Favorites marked with +
1. + Short-attention-span 60's exotica with reverb
2. Pitch-bent unsteadiness
3. Jittery, upbeat. Like theme music for a tech news show.
4. Pleasant upbeat. Springtime
5. mystery- minor key, 3/4 time, beat syncopated like a quiet typewriter
6. Playfully creepy. Gets deeper and slower, slowed-down jazz last third
7. + gentle notes & xylophone & synth washes with less effects, other than the echo
8. Businesslike midtempo. sound keeps changing.
9. Peak harmonics- busy sequence, anxious
10. +happy, light. Slows down halfway through, keeps modulating key downwards
11. uncertain, irritated
12. +fast, motivated
13. Repetative two-chord stroll
14. tv show theme for a mediocre thriller series
15. tech filler at start. 2nd half more interesting slowed down weirdness
16. +Sax warbling and chugging beat
17. +Guitar nooodling, monochord drone
18. nice boopiness. Monophonic, arpeggios
19. playful, thoughtful
20. mechanical science show
21. slow, gains detail, switches to dream
22. guitar ease and synth sings along
23. querulous then jaunty
24. Male digitized vox and skittering beat, the only track with words though I can’t understand them. Harmonica bits between the voice.
