Track was brute forced into existence (like last week). Struggled to complete but needed to finish before weekend. Needs to be cleaned up and simplified. Not enough breathing room. Recorded in one take. M8's Braids Pluck seems to have an issue. Phases in and out. Not sure why. Didn't bother to properly mix. Recorded live stereo out of M8. Audio - Pulse2 & S-1>Elektron CK-1 Audio/CV Split Cable Kit>M8>DR-40. Midi - M8>Headphone slitter>Pulse2 & S-1. Pulse2 lost at the practice space since before pandemic and last Magfest performance with DO (pre pandemic). Brought back a few months now. First time using in a while. Been meaning to explore it again. Under utilized. Happy with the results. Paraphony not working with M8. Used for bass instead. Cold and precise analog sound. Tried to keep agressive high energy for the track. Was the only goal along with time line. Sorted out over 3 days.


Started additional track called "Evil Children" based on the Evil At Play sample. Made simple patch in 208hp eurorack and sorted packing strategy for Magfest 2025. 3 voice proof of concept. Tested in Bastl Bestie. Not worth recording. Mother 32 tuning external oscillators sorted. Used M8 to process noise sweep channel with reverb. Rig will need an additional input for the new eurorack. Effect box? Suggest to MT clean vox mic with Delay pedal to tweak and space out for hype (thinking of parnoid london performance and 808 state live). Geogrio Moroder redbull NY opening and intro? That was 2012-ish?

That beat! A lot of energy in there, and it contrasts well with the slow pads around it. I liked how everything went down at 1:53, it was a nice effect, like a short breath before the beat propuslses us back.

Love the immediate high energy feel from the drums in this.  Like I just got on a high speed rail and there's no stopping it.  The kick in this has such a nice oomph to it in the mix.  Some RDJ vibes in the frenetic feel and how the drums drop and poof the acidline flies.  Hail yais! My brain did dance \m/
