This is part of a larger work that never got finished. It's basically just some sonic wallpaper cheesecake. |

Some wierdness. Originally recorded on a 4 track with some very strange instruments and a cheap sampler, this is a newer version of it with in tune midi instruments. |

Originally titled "Good Enough", this was a drums guitar bass piece, and also had some lyrics. The lyrics got lost, and now this has been redone with just keys and midi instruments. It's mostly a Yamaha TX81Z, with a Roland SCC-1 for drums, and some Roland JD800. The part at the end was the start of a new song that never got developed, but it was stuck at the end of the midi file, and doesn't suck too much, so here it is. |

An experiment in how quickly music can be created. You judge the results! Created completely on the JD800, except for the drums, which are gs stuff. |
