Please explain what I'm listening to on this Garage Band cdr. Did you compose & program this music yourself?? If so, hat's off, this is impressive for an amateur composition. My fav is Morocco Mole. I also dig those heavy gurgly synth bass tones on Heliotrope.

I especially like the fact that the percussion sounds are not canned. please explain the mechanics of how one does this. Do you need a synthesizer/keyboard?
