Ackwards

Of course I wanted to do something great, inventive and clever for my first contribution this year, my second in WB. Naturally, all the time I thought would be available for music making, was wiped out by real life commitments, so in the end I just had to do something in a hurry (I have got a feeling that this will not be the last time this year!)...
So here´s a sort of back to the 90´s techno/electro piece, put together in two hours with the help of Yamaha Qy70 sequencer, driving a Roland JV1080, Korg Wavestation, Moog Slim Phatty for the bass and the combination of Akai Rhythm Wolf, Korg ES-1 and Roland TR09 for the percussive things. The pads, vocoded chords and effects are Microkorg, Korg O1Wfd and Polysix. So it´s mainly a hardware affair... I record everything to a Zoom R16 and mix it in my laptop.
Reminds me of some older Underworld material... perhaps it´s the way the beats work together...
Well, anyway... it has begun! In 2018 I fought my way to the end and was really pleased with what I had acheived and learned about working hard and fast. This year I try to be a bit more spontaneus and try out different methods, time permitting...
Really looking forward what the others have come up...
