sup professor you want to listen to some grooves?

ya hmu

I'm not musically trained in any way shape or form but I like making synths and hobbling some stuff together, would be interested in knowing what you think of this as someone who actually understands music at a higher level

Is it 'useful' to learn to play piano in jazz style if you don't want to play in a band?

Not OP, but when you say that you don't want to play in a band, what DO you want out of your musical learning?

Yes get yourseelf some fake books, learn your chords, and start playing. It's very gratifying. Then take those chord progressions from the songs, and play some improv with your right hand over top. It will develop your improv skills. Plus, you could get a job playing in a hotel lobby or restaurant. And you will learn new chord progressions that you could use to write some songs with!!

i like how you layer sounds in as it progresses.
dropping the beat in sounds great. maybe bring in the snare earlier?
nice ducking effects as well.
you seem to have different elements happening and you are successfully blending them.
Also i like that you dont have too much repetition -- -when the snare comes in later i like that you add the echoing to it --- it keeps it fresh
Dude just keep rocking!

Thanks man! I have fun with it, I enjoy the process of music making just in and of itself, the finished product always feels less satisfying than the effort put into trying to make it work. I know it sounds silly, but I almost feel like properly training myself in music theory would ruin the whole mystique behind how I put it together off the top of my head.

Cheers, thanks for the kind words

yeah -
not knowing about theory can provide your music with freshness.
knowing about it however can help you to direct your creativty to create specific moods, and effects at specific times.
either way you choose, be true to yourself and what you want out of your experience with making music!!!
