Pitch-shifted agogos - Lee Fitzsimmons * Drums, bongos, shakers, and claves - Lee Fitzsimmons

A very distinctive rhythm figure is performed on pitch-shifted agogos. This lively, almost cartoonish rhythm groove is soon joined by a very bright chordal riff performed on marimba. Suddenly, an idiotically simple melody is played on a very cheesy Wurlitzer organ. This melody uses a repetitive rhythm that descends step wise and finishes with the rhythm repeating a slightly different pattern. After a few bars of no melody, the groove continues and then the melody begins except it starts on the next highest note of the tonic chord. The melody does this exact same pattern several more times. Each time it repeats, it starts on the next highest note each time. A quick coda is presented at the end, and then the piece is over.
