VolCalypso - Instrumental using only Volca Keys

[Butterfingersbeck]

VolCalypso.
An experimental Caribbean-style improvisation using only a Volca Keys with no external processing.

Recorded entirely using a Korg Volca Keys, The bass line is a sequence recorded in Poly mode, allowing me to improvise over it using up to two notes at a time, I recorded the bass/steel drum/marimba onto my Fostex MR-8, with the Volca synced to the Fostex's MIDI output. I then recorded Volca loops for first the cowbell sound, playing four-to-the-bar and then the woodblock sound playing a clave rhythm, again synced to the Fostex. The last overdub was an improvised whistle/flute part using portamento. No external processing was used, and all parts were played using the Volca's built-in keyboard,
