Since no external sounds are allowed and I wanted to add some rhythmic elements to my track I decided to synthesize my own kick drum and snare sounds on the AE modular using a resonating MS20 filter and a 2VCO mixed with Noise. Further percussion sounds are provided by Grains. The beat is sequenced by the trigger outputs of a SEQ8 fed into my AEclidian module to add probability to the snare for rhythmic variation. The extra percussion sounds are trigged via 4COMP comparing 2 voltages received from the both SEQ8s clocked by the same LFO. Some extra ALGODRONE soundsc(r)aping added on top. To tie it all together the track is fed into Multi FX module and recorded in one take on a ZOOM H6 recorder.
It's hard to pick a track but the opening bits of Sunsmack let you know what you're in for and the rest of the EP doesn't let up at all. Fantastic all the way through. J Brandt
