I wrote this funky finger drumming + synth jam as a personal coordination challenge. It's by far the hardest "finger twister" I've ever attempted using this live multitasking technique, and it took a LOT of practice till I was able to pull it off!
Thing is, it's very short... And I didn't want to publish a 30 second video. So I figured I'd ask some of my incredibly talented friends to help me develop it into a longer piece of music. They sent me back some awesome solos which I then to edited into a full track. Huge thanks to them for agreeing to work with my weird ideas and time signatures! :)
