Sound pack No. 02 · Lo-fi hip-hop
LO-FI
Dusty keys, warm tape and a lazy swing.
Everything for late-night lo-fi beats on the FM-1: a soft, swung tape kit, dusty electric and felt pianos, round upright and sub basses, vibraphone, celesta and music box for the melody, and pads and hiss that sound played from an old cassette.

01COLD COFFEE74 BPM · 8 bars · 0:28
Lo-fi at 74 in C dorian: felt piano chords that step down and never land, an upright that walks into each one, a lazy snare, and a vibraphone sigh over vinyl dust.
02THIN WALLS86 BPM · 8 bars · 0:25
Jazz-hop at 86 in A minor: a minor ii-V on the suitcase pushed onto the 'and' of 4, a walking muted bass, swung hats, and a few celesta notes like rain.
