Wow, I can’t believe it’s Christmas already! Hope you had a merry one! I almost forgot to post a jam today. I’ve been relaxing at home and realized only late in the day that it’s Sunday. It clicked in my mind when I sat down at my synth table to play around a bit this evening.
I probably should have something more festive for Christmas Day. However, I do record things in advance as inspiration hits and #34 ended up being a darkish drone. I kind of envision it being what you might hear on a spaceship - the hum of the warp engine maybe? Or have I just watched too many Sci-Fi shows? Well, whatever it sounds like, I find it calming and hopefully you will too.
