Electric toothbrushes sound extreme.
Taking a shot at Rush E.
Solid boat horn sounds happening here.

What if the Super Mario theme got slower with every beat?
For long video meetings in which there’s pressure to have your camera on, I’ve started desk drumming. I messed up a bunch here, but at some point in the meeting, things were 🔥 With more practice, I should get more consistent.
I brought this back from my parents’ basement: The Boss HM-3, dubbed “Hyper Metal.” It disappointed me in the ‘90s, and it disappointed everyone else, who thought it fell far short of its predecessor, the legendary HM-2, called the Metal Zone. It was what made bands sound like Entombed, Entombed included There’s a use for everything, though, so I thought why not. It’s not as bad as I remember. It lacks attack definition so, it’s not better for me than the Microcube’s built-in rectifier simulator...
The left hand part of the Super Mario World Bonus Room theme is starting to happen!
The Entertaining begins.

The guy continues to enjoy transposing things to be extra low.
Having a tough time deciding if these riffs go together.
I noticed I had some songs, Kart and Hamburger, that I started in January (!). In case they never get finished, I’m posting what I have so readers here can freestyle over them if they want.
Bonus Cat enjoys life.
The riff in From the Air sounded like it had groups of three and two eight notes packed into a four-beat measure (much like the break riff in Seek and Destroy), but when I tried to count it out, I started to feel like it was actually in 7/8. So I reassembled it in NanoStudio (with a cheesy synth that you can at least hear well), and confirmed that it’s in 4/4, with 3-2-3 groupings of eight notes. The thing that made it sound so complex for me is that the snare drops at the beginning of the secon...
Some casual dungeon triads.
Kids were hyped up about the high school band playing some stuff from Barbie! Unfortunately, they could not express that enthusiasm by clapping in time. (And the high school band was actually pretty tight.)
Elementary school horns all end up sounding like kazoo. (I do think this is respectable for a first performance for kids that rehearse once a week! Even though I find it really funny.)
Hey, different sides on the Dutch oven have different pitches.
Kids learn Iron Man in school now! So I can jam along, as long as I roll with the weirdness of this arrangement in C.
We went to Thunder Hole twice, once in the late afternoon and once at night. Neither time, the tide wasn’t strong enough to thunder. It still looked cool, though. Things ended up sounding more thundering at Sand Beach, where the waves did some cascading clapping.
Some combination of birds, frogs, and bugs at Acadia makes a polyrhythm at night.
I think I fixed the Notescast podcast feed.

Now that I have two game jams to do, I’m writing some late eighties style riffs on the guitar instead of figuring out Godot.

This is L-Amp, a good and weird piece to start the music releasing year with. I have a lamp that interferes with my guitar-cable-amp loop. So, I decided to cut the guitar out of the loop and just use the lamp, cable, and amp, with some delay and reverb. Here's a video of the performance .
