Kalimba, Marimba, xylaphone are used in this piece which kind of reminded me of a trip down a river, like the Amazon.

Just me and my PC - experimenting with electronic music. Wasn't sure what genre. Maybe just interesting or strange.
No real band. Just me attempting to write a Java program to generate music that is interesting and easy to listen to. So far, I've had enough success to continue with this project. It's very challenging but since I did software and web application development for 40 years I thought I'd give it a try and hope for the best. The output of the music generator is a multi track MIDI file which is easy to edit. I use a new version of Cakewalk to select patches, tweak the volumes, velocities & panning of the instruments. The MIDI generator program uses text script files as input for note pitch & note durations and also for chord progressions. A lot of random elements are inserted by the program so that each MIDI file created is different in some way. I used to play acoustic rythm guitar with my son Jim who plays a Cajun accordian. We jammed a lot and play downtown in Fells Point on the street when the weather is good. It's always a lot of fun. We meet people from all over U.S. and the rest of the world.

Story behind the song
This is another experiment with a Yam DGX-505. The piano patches are great, but also a lot of others. I didn't like the fiddle & violin. The song is computer generated, output to the DGX-505 and then to an AW16G recorder. Back on the PC I added a touch of flanging with GoldWave.
