It all fits. Next up, a second Pressure Points and a Brains for the skiff. Once Monorocket is ready to resume custom order production I’ll put in a request for a Base90 in matching black cowboy.

The music you hear emanates from the windows. It includes the sound of someone banging on the pipes and metalwork. I tried to interpret the windows’s variation in size from left to right as a direct influence in this track’s complexity and velocity. 

Audio recorded between May 10-14. 

Features extensive use of The Harvestman’s feedback console (Evin 209 + Stilton Adapter) with pedal chain. Rhythms created with Double Andore influencing Piston Honda and Polivoks VCF. Others…

All in all, 7 individual modular takes were recorded. The original final edit to this track was over 6 minutes in length. In order meet the 4 minute track duration requirement and represent the many floors of windows in the image, I divided the track in half and faded the 2 regions into one another. 

Edits and changes to time created in Logic Pro. 

I used my usual array of stock Logic plugins and one instance of D16 Toraverb.

Anonymous asked: Do you have your K station video patches available to try out?

Unfortunately, I sold the K-Station without saving my patches. A shame, I always planned on buying another down the road. It would have been nice to fire up those old patches again.
