I like the sound of the synths (I'm a Korg man from wayback), but the song was too long and repetitive to really show off what they can do. However, with the right amount of editing, this could be a really cool song. That being said, if it was your intent to stretch this out, then you nailed it.

Thanks for taking the time to listen.
:-)
Most of the jams I've been having last about 15 minutes. This was a short one.
I hadn't thought much about trying to show what they can do... it's more like I'm just recording passages while I am discovering some things for myself.
best regards,
mike

A free jam with three Korg Volca analog synths:
Since I cannot download it, it's not really free is it now?

Just like Louis Armstrong is too trumpety, this piece is too synthy.

OK, it's a cool experiment. Definitely mixed well. Vocals should come up in the mix though. Oh...... it's a Volca. My bad.

I really dig the symmetrical lines in the souncloud waveform. So far it's the strongest selling point.

It is good to record jams, whatever you are jamming with. I am sure that many of the bands like TD and their like developed many of their songs this way. I enjoyed it, but then I like synths. I like they way it develops and builds. It also presents itself well here with a well balanced mix. Thanks for sharing Mr Mcq.

I guess you can like it, and to me it is not Polka with anything, maybe Samba or something Bossanova. ?? I did not say that I was doing anything better though. (time to shovel snow though).(winter is never ending).

I too just love jamming with synths to hear what I can come up with. It's a lot of fun, and this is obvious in this piece.
