Where The Leaves Glow Neon

Last week I mentioned to someone I'd like to focus more on jazzy leads during Weekly Beats. So of course I end up in the opposite direction with a track heavily focussed on rhythm. Mix is still rough and the ending feels rushed, but the deadline dictates it's finished.
Started out with a Korg MS20 and drums from OP1-F, both going into a Drolo Stretch Weaver pedal. The Stretch Weaver is a strange effect which takes the input of one instrument and uses its signal to modulate a bunch of parameters on the other, and vice versa. Recorded some sounds from that setup into M8 and chopped them into a beat. Added a couple random drum samples and used the onboard M8 synths for pads, leads, percussion and wubs. Smidge of mastering outside M8 for some extra shine.
