Studying some jazz theory, I need my piano chops to improve to create better music. When I practice I start with some

-scales, been focusing on natural and harmonic minor, minor and major blues

-Hanon exercises

- ii-V-I’s (right hand four voices, some times three when I’m messing with a tritone voicing I learned.

- Then I usually start having fun and creating there from ideas I’ll generate from my exercises.

jazzology by Robert Rawlins is my current resource of study.

Ok so I released a lot I the last year. A part of what I have released was a genre I created termed “Lofly”.

Lofly- A sub genre of lo-fi with the weightless feeling of the flight if a butterfly.

Sometimes I accomplish this by the vibe if the melody itself. Other times I use stutter fx, layered synths and arpeggiated chord progressions. At times I will choose a lighter style of instrumentation using flutes, synth pads, acoustic drum 🥁 kits and strings with reverb, filters, and delays.

As I was listening to my track Lofly/Cooldown I realized that the one thing that also ties these tracks together is that almost all of them were done as live sets. Check out this new Lofly collection if you have any questions moment to chill n listen. 🙏🏾

P.S. 2-Guy doesn't have lofly in the title because of a distro change but this was a part of the original set.

P.S.S. Shit this may be an ep or a mixtape on its own?!? 😂🔥🤯
