    Thanks to the nice people from ROLI for challenging me into creating something awesome with just their songmaker kit and Garageband.
    Also thank you Emily Charles for pretending to fight me over your Macbook :-)
    This video is about creating a song from scratch while being completely out of my comfort zone. I could not use my own computer, could not use my own library of sounds, could not play guitar, could not use my regular finger drumming techniques. So it was a lot of fun to see something cool happening regardless!

    "I'm unleashing the music for ROLI...I'll unleash the music then I'll return it!" I was laughing so hard at that

    Wicked! really good. And For a non keys player you're kicking some serious transferable skills across! Sounds awesome.

    If you make this song quieter and add a cozy ambiance, it would make for great music in an open world game.

    Hmmm...for a guitarist who claims not being able to 'play the piano' you have a very quick left hand when entering the bass on the Roli...are you a lefty by the way? Cool approach dude.

    That explanation of how to take rudiment thinking to playing other instruments was really interesting.

    For someone that doesn't play piano, your accuracy on a fiddly microtonal synth is pretty amazing

    Interestingly enough, as a guitar player with a Seaboard Rise 49, I have come to the same conclusion... I don't play it like keys (which I can play in a rudimentary way). I'm not much of a finger-drummer, either, although I have been practicing based on your tutorials. Anyway, I have found that playing the Seaboard in this way is much more rewarding than trying to play it like it had discrete keys.

    Damn! Thank you for explaining this so well. I tried to explain how you can make excellent music without necessarily knowing the notes. Ppl said I was an idiot.

    Brilliant little groove. The whole embracing limitations thing is kinda reminiscent of Brian Eno's Oblique Strategies. Very inspiring. I like.

    I thought I was going to hear someone like on a Unison commercial which makes me nauseous. Instead, I heard a great musician play the keys like a keyboard player with both hands. Great job and there is nothing out there that compares to ROLI. Thanks for taking on the challenge for us.

    That was an excel groove! I feel like getting the ROLI now for my setup. You did a great job

    I really enjoyed this - I love your authentic approach and a different way to construct the music using a rudimental approach, as a percussionist this really resonated with me. I have the music in my head but lack the ability/talent to get it out because I have no knowledge of chord structures etc so this gave me great hope to try a different way. Of course I will have to experiment to make harmonic melodies but starting with the elemental beat is really a new dimension for me, I have no idea why I didn’t think of it myself! Thank you, great vid

    When one knows music like you very well, there is nothing that can stop it! Although I really appreciate your complete finger drumming technique that makes you unique!

    Love your channel name. A great musician can always make a awesome tune even when well out of their confront zone. Awesome work and thanks for the video man :)

    Well you may not play the piano, but you do a pretty good impression of it! Loved that track 👍
