No click track - everything follows the improvised AcGtr
minor keys
having a play on the various instruments
Chilliwack
This was a fun one to make. Basically one improvised take on a MIDI keyboard which is hooked up to 3 synths and drum machine, with a pad from a 4rd synth going on in the background. Piano and noise-wave crashes were added afterwards.
Using the JX-8P as a bass synth for the first time and gotta say....not too shabby!!!!!! [more inside]
Slopes
Analog synth rap beat!!
Lush
Got an Arturia Keystep which means I can now program sequences on the JX-8P and baby it is a game changer!!!!!! Marimba sounds are from the Roland SC-88 which is MIDI'd up to the JX-8P as well.
Belkin
2 analogs synth looping together. Experimenting with CV connectivity to create syncopation.

Kind of an LCD Soundsystem vibe

A New Kind of Beat 3
Arpeggiator solo

A little gtr, a little marimba, a little synth.
enjoying my life dot mp3
just kind of feeling good about stuff!!
Brazilian Brooks
Another drum-less synth loop featuring the Roland Sound Canvas SC-88 deploying its absolutely classic harp sample once again!
All of the sounds on both this and my last post were made using hardware rather than software which is kind of a first for me in terms of synth tunes! Really enjoying it!
postd
a new synth track featuring a new vintage gear acquisition, the Roland SC-88, providing the classic harp sample!

Some FL in FL

An eggs-tremely mellow morning improv sesh on the synth rig!!!
gentle ben II
a short instrumental featuring all your favourite instruments including the ernie ball stingray 5-string fretless bass, the PRS SE Paul's Guitar, the Takamine G-series acoustic guitar, the Hammond SK-1 organ, and the Roland DP-90 providing the piano as well as the drums!!!!
eemz haleemz
so I've been using this songwriting trick where I program a simple loop using the sequencer on my synths and sort of riff off of it to come up with the other instrumental parts. Then, when I have the idea properly fleshed out, I remove the synths. A songwriting scaffold, of sorts (though in many cases I have kept the original loop in there!!!)
Anyways, for this track I included the synth loop at the very beginning so you can hear what I'm riffing off of for the rest of the track. Hope you like it!!!! -CA
Special Teams
Tried a bunch of new stuff this time round. It's a dance trance but I played almost everything live, including the drums which were "performed" on the keyboard, because I'm not a drummer. The only things that were automated were the drum fills, crash cymbals, and the marimba/piano 2 patterns.
Sandstorm
So I play in this cover band back home that is a bit heavier in terms of sound and we have a keyboard player so I keep saying we should do a metal version of Sandstorm. No one believes me that it will work so I decided to make a quick demo to show them what is possible. A super metal lead guitar takes the place of the lead synth, the chords are from my dad's old Roland JX-8P, bass is my Stingray 5, and the drums are factory keyboard drums performed live on the Roland DP-90. sandstorm Great song!!!!
Jazz Trio Improv #1
I recently did a fairly significant overhaul to my recording setup - trying out the new rig with a jazz trio type format with an improvised double bass part which I mic'd and DI'd the pickup & blended the two together. Stereo piano is from the Roland DP-90 and the drums are the factory brushes kit from the DP-90 also.
Misty Views
FM softsynth drenched in reverb, chorus and delay

another improvised chord sesh on the acoustic guitar where I then overdubbed the other instruments!
Fig Time
Jangly pop instrumental track w/ simple guitar solo doing a few of the classic riffs!
Unicorns Keeping it Real
Another song from my early 20s. Going through some old files and finding some stuff that I hope is worth posting on here. I will try
Piano Jam 2020
Piano improvisation based on the initial riff that eventually goes into a groove section which I loop and add bass/drums. And then there is an outtro part after the groove with a cheeky solo on the fretless bass.
wowzers
An old instrumental jam from when I lived on the island. I think this is from around 2013.
Big Can of Beans
Cheeky mandolin feature.
Instrumental. Had to call it something.
The Last Baseball Game - Part II
Part I of The Last Baseball Game is meant to be the song they play before the game, as an intro. This is meant to be the post-game epilogue 'final farewell' kinda number.
I meant to do a fadeout at the end, but I forgot, so the track just sort of plays out. I figured I might as well just leave it like that.
chords 'n gourds
An autumnal fingerpickin' instrumental.
Red Prairie Dawn
Takin a pass at this classic old time fiddle tune by Garry Harrison! Followed by a little acoustic guitar postlude, and then the neighbourhood cat shows up at the very end.
Soothin' Synths, Part 2: a Synthy Lullaby
We have a Prophet-6 at work right now and I just found out that the sequencer is polyphonic. Programmed a chordy little loop and messed around with it a bit while grabbing it on my H2.
Hope you enjoy the pure, unaccompanied sound of this gorgeous synthesizer!
Pickin'
Just having a play on my day off
GAIA jam
Featuring Carlos Najar on guitar and your homeboy carrotadventure on synths and drum machine.
In this upbeat improv jam I am playing the Roland GAIA synth for chords and the Korg Monologue for bass. Also operating the Roland TR-8 for beats.
