TenTinyFingersTenTinyToes (Disquiet0250) by ikjoyce

This week's Junto was to create some soothing sounds for a newborn baby. I started out at the piano, and soon came across this little motif that I liked. It had a sort of lullaby feel to it, but I didn't want it to be too rigid in timing. So I flooded it with reverb and lots of slow echoes, and tried to play without getting entrenched in any particular 'bar' structure. I found that by adding a few sequences from the modular synth it would give me something more firmly in time to shift across. I also added one of my pad sounds from the JP-8080 for a little variety.

Improvised live, in a single take.
