heartbeat

[A E J O T Z]

Today is my 62nd birthday. Getting old sucks. I can't do all the things I used to do, including play guitar. But I can still coax a tune out of my synthesizers.

This one starts with a Microbrute sequence.

The three sets of "strings" are Microkorg, the first two quantized on the Microsampler and the third just played by hand.

For the last two parts I dusted off my old PSR-520 rompler. I couldn't find sweet enough sounds on the other boards and then remembered "transform" and "xenon pad" on the PSR.

Happy Birthday A E J O T Z, congratulations, you're approximately twice my age! Don't you worry, things will get better for you; you just need to have confidence in yourself and believe~...sure that's easy for me to say, but I wouldn't know the struggle. Why can't you play the guitar anymore? Skill level decrease or physically unable?

BTW, your "heartbeat" song is pretty mysterious and gives me a feeling that something is awry. It's like a detective theme, and you've done it rather well.

Happy birthday for now then :-)

Will have to listen later.

Thanks, guys!

(TripMX, I don't play guitar anymore because of mild arthritis; mild, that is, until I play guitar. The more I play, the slower and stiffer my hands become. Playing organ-like keys doesn't seem to bother me at all.)

This reminds me of the soundtrack for Chrono Trigger on SNES, but this is way, way better. Applause!
