Weekend Challenge - Off The Grid

These days we are very fortunate to have tools at our disposal to sequence and program our gear. This can be as simple as a sequencer for an individual synth, to a complex set up running multiple synths, drum machines, samplers at the same time as the brain of your set up. This week we'd like you to step away from the grid where possible. Embrace the chaos of live playing, happy accidents and the unknown.

We don't expect everything to be played live and sequencers can still be used, but please include an element of live playing in your jam.
