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.

Disquiet Junto #19: Graphic Alley [disquiet0019-rojiura]

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.

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.

Beer in a colorful can. Bionic Lester demo video. Not a bad birthday.

I watched a nice rip of Sherlock Holmes: Game of Shadows and ate flour-less chocolate cakes with my lady, who made dinner tonight. Finished up my Junto submission this morning and spent some time patching the modular. Worked out some nice sounding playable patches with the Hertz Donut and Pressure Points. I’m going to need a few more of each.
