You know those videos about making a quick beat in seconds? Well… this is the opposite. I’ve just spent 3 hours playing in the studio to create a solid downtempo track. No rush. No urgency in having results. I just wanted to play and play and have fun making music without watching the clock.

Lately, I’m having a great time with this setup: the MPC One and an electric piano attached to it. First, I program the drums and bass, and then I record several takes improvising with the piano over the beat. At some points, I like to put effects on the input signal of the MPC sampler to change the tone of the piano into a more exotic sound.

The drums and bass lines came from my own sample packs that are available below. Check them out!
