Made from an assortment of samples created for other projects. Some from WB this year, others from random projects over 12 years ago with gear I no longer own. A lot were just random things I made for my sample library during random sound design explorations. Kept it extra short this time. Just wanted to try pushing tempo up and use some random samples on my M8. Clocked in at 190bpm. Made over a 2 hour period on the couch. Second song made for DO earlier in the week. Fun using old Korg Monotoron.
