Novation Summit | Yamaha CP Reface - "Whisper Tempest"


video upload by eM

"It is a subtle night, with slight drizzles. The weather is warm, a calm before the storm, it's on its way, It's slow to let you know that it's on its way. You can hope that it goes away, you can cry, you can pray... but inevitably it will come, whispering through the night and waking you in the day. Be still it says... just wait, I'm just passing through, I don't come around often, I'd like to get to know you.

My usual favorite rudiment to play. The Novation Summit midi chained to the Yamaha CP Reface (hidden piano sound, gotta love it!). Enjoy!"
