Arturia MicroFreak Jam – Ostinato mélancolique

video upload by alloutofsync

""Ostinato mélancolique" is a jam built on a drum sample loop and a repeating piano phrase, with improvisation played on the MicroFreak. I focused on the tension of semitone and whole-tone intervals, which not only evoke a melancholic atmosphere but also create a unique sense of modulation in the sound.

To keep the performance dynamic, I occasionally switched to single notes or octave lines for variation. Everything was recorded live in a single take, with only light reverb and delays applied in post-production."
