Written and Recorded in 1988
A home recorded two-chord jam played by myself. Needless to say, this was not a serious composition but a personal recording for my own fun purpose. I partially added the tone of percussions I am unfamiliar with on the programmable rhythm machine to pay my tribute to some of my fellow students then, who were enthusiastic about playing Latin music.
I physically played the bass guitar, acoustic piano, organ-toned keyboard and the lead guitar. For experimental purpose, I also played the trumpet without knowing how to play it. Though it features colourful layers of different instruments, it doesn’t sound much heavy, perhaps due to the effect of Ping-Pong recording, a primitive method used on analogue equipment with a limited number of recordable tracks. Though it was not the ideal method for recording things like this, I felt a certain satisfaction for the result, which sounds like floating in the air as if I am dreaming for some extent.
