I'm Josh O from Florida, and this is a song about thinking outside the box :)
Enjoy my entry for the NPR Tiny Desk Contest 2025!
Nothing is pre-recorded - all the sounds you hear are produced and looped LIVE by singing and beatboxing using modulation effects with an RC-505mkII loop station and a Novation Launchpad.
Written, composed, and performed by Josh O
Mixed and mastered by Mr. Esuoh

Thank you!

[@antara.putra12_]

[@JamesDGarland]

You make great content. Can you make a video of your setup? Is the launchpad pulling effects from the 505 or do you have these linked to a computer or iPad?

[@JoshOMusic]

The only devices used are the 505 and the Launchpad! All the audio and effects come from the 505 - I use the Launchpad to switch parameters on the 505 faster, as well as for certain melodic sequences that the 505 plays.

[@JamesDGarland]

@ really interesting. Thanks for sharing. I’d be curious to see how this is setup. Good luck on your submission.

[@watersheep4342]

Did you make it in last time you entered for this competition?

[@JoshOMusic]

It's one winner out of 7000+ entries... so no 😔

[@watersheep4342]

@ aww

[@nwenthold]

hey, how do we vote for you in the contest?

[@JoshOMusic]

No voting! Last time that was for a local event based on this national contest - this video is just for the national contest.
