This little ditty that's been rattling around in my head for a couple of days now. Came home a little early today, and took those few minutes before my wife got home to record it!

I'm using my "modern pentatonic" tuned harp here for everything...



Hope you enjoy it!

hi Isaac! really like the melody. sort of Lee Oskarish. hope you don't mind the comparison. the break about 227 is pretty effective. it breaks it up:0) get it?
nice!

Thanks MP! You are quite perceptive! My modern pentatonic tuning is essentially the bottom three holes of a melody maker repeated up the harp. So yeah, definitely channelling some Lee Oskar here!

Smooth groove and very original sound. I like it. You are getting better all the time with looping. Great to see!

Dude that was sweet, a very catchy tune.
I could really see a rap being put over it as well, that would be cool:o)

Nice ideas there Isaac, sounds good. I agree with Ant about the rap.

Thanks Ant and Greyowl! I hadn't thought about associating this with rap, but you guys are totally right! Getting some nice, flowing, positive rhymes over this would be sweet! It ain't gonna be me though... I've been working on vocals and lyric writing, but I'm not anywhere near to doing anything remotely good-sounding with it... I wonder if there is a site where musicians and singers/rappers can hook up and collaborate? You know, like we make a track,a nd they sing/rap over it? Kinda like the harmonica-jam site with all those backing tracks? That would be very cool to do with something like this...
