Description : Captured audio of a random jam with my buddy a few days after Christmas via my phone. I did what I could to pull the peaky piano down a bit, but it's still kind of rough.

This was pretty much entirely unplanned, so you'll have to forgive the abrupt tempo changes and "hmm, what am I going to play here?" parts where I just smack the keys until I find something. We'd been playing on this groove for a minute or two and I thought it sounded good, so I pulled out my phone, hit the video recorder, tossed it somewhere, and forgot about it for a few minutes.

My friend is on the vocals and an acoustic guitar, I'm on a 1980's "Miracle" synth.

I wish I could take more credit for it. My friend was on the vocals and guitar, which are sadly more in the background to my keyboard than I'd like. Next time we jam, I'm going to put two mics on him so I can balance it out more. This whole "recording from one mic" thing is forcing this to sound much more lo fi and amateur than I want it to.

Ideally I'll get enough audio to make something production level without having to buy studio time.

Anyway, thanks for the feedback. I'll pass it along to him to see if I can convince him to put some time/effort into recording for real.

It's cool to hear something so raw and spontaneous! It sounds pretty good for being recorded on a phone. I only wish I could hear the vocals a little better, cuz they sound groovy. Nice jam!

Unfortunately, my phone was sitting on top of the keyboard when this was recorded. I have a great video of the ceiling as it gets buffeted around by that plink of the keyboard. Since I got it in in mono, there's not too much I can do but try to get rid of the peaks at 330hz...

I've been trying to get my friend to record for the last few years. Next time, I'll try to get multiple mics in on the recording.

Description : 'Taqdeer' in Urdu means 'Fate' or 'Destiny'. This is an Arabic /Hindi/Bollywood hip hop /club track. The drums are hip hop but the vibe is full sad emotional club vibe. It reminiscences of a man crying teardrops in a nightclub. That can be the best way to explain the vibe of this track. Hope you enjoy it!

Description : A high energy Afro fusion instrumental built around a driving rhythm, melodic elements, and a smooth, infectious bounce. The production blends energetic percussion with a melodic atmosphere, creating a versatile foundation for artists to bring their own sound and personality.

Perfect for artists looking for an energetic record with room for catchy melodies, confident flows, and expressive songwriting. Whether it's a feel good anthem, a hustle driven record, or a late night Afro fusion vibe.
