This week was a shitshow. I tried to write a track on the M8 as usual and, just, nothing was working no matter what I was tryna do.

Ended up pulling out the Dreadbox Typhon again on a whim and, at first, had the same thing of failing completely.

Then, I managed to get an acid-y riff going by accident and decided to fuck it all and lean into that.


Ended up having barely any time at that point so I had to cobble together a beat on the M8, run both into the Octatrack with a couple of scenes made up and play the whole thing live in 1 take. Used 3 presets on the Typhon which was all the same sound but with different sequences.

The sound is rough and the mix is shite but I think I'm really happy with the idea of this. May well try something like it again the next week, we shall see.

Anyway, hope you enjoy.

really cool little acid jaunt. faved.

Ha! “Couldn't make X work, found an acid line, cobbled it together with the M8 in the octa,” perfectly describes at least 5 of my entries here. And none of them groove as hard as this!

great super squelch ending!  great kick and snare choice
