"Some Things Never Change", by jegasus (M8 Community Jam 35)

This is my submission to the 35th M8 Community Jam! The theme was "Random, ERRor" and the optional challenge was to use old spoken word samples. I ended up not going for the optional challenge this time, but instead focused more on the random part of the jam. To start, I created the little arpeggio and bass line in the M8 and really simple WAVSYNTH instruments. Then I connected the M8 to my new keyboard and improvised two separate melodic lines. On the M8 project, those two melodic lines are on tracks 3 and 4, respectively. I then went back and tweaked the M8 instruments to sound a bit more dynamic and interesting. The audio I recorded from the keyboard is quite messy and has more than just a few mistakes in it, but I thought such a thing might be well suited for this jam. The repetitive downward arpeggio and the bass line gave me this sense of sadness and melancholy, which I tried to sometimes reinforce and at other times counteract with the melodic side. Not sure if I was successful, but it's what I was going for. This was a super fun one to put together not only because I got to use the new keyboard, but also because this is the first time I'm actually recording my playing directly without sending the midi notes to a DAW to quantize and fix later. Stuff feels wonky and out of place at times, but I can hide behind the excuse of "well that's kind of the point, right?", hahahahaha... Cheers, folks!!!
