Congrats Kenja!

Loved the samples and used the majority of them in a layered, reverbed soundscape - got some Shona vocals in there to accompany the traditional Mbira instruments and some rainforest ambience.

Congrats Kenja!

After me and Lanksy went grimey as hell last week I knew I wanted to tenderize it a lil bit for the ternderonis LOL, and these kalimba samps made a perfect bed to soften my shizzle up some. Submitting the instrumental version for the battle this week but you can also find the full goofy song sketch on my SC. Out camping this week so I'll be off grid but will be back in time to vote...have a great week all!

main kalimba chops from John Klemmer
vocal samples from Nina Simone
added drums, vst piano, sloppy live bass and guitar

I used the first note right at the beginning of Love Supreme.. Cleaned it and threw it in my sampler to make it playable.
