Bit of modular with support from my MPC.
Quite happy with this, needs a lead part and a proper ending, but it feels like it's almost done.

I am getting some calming NIN vibes. I've listened to it a few times and it's perfect: I don't think it needs anything else.
Except maybe a bit of compression to bring up the volume, but I also feel like a hypocrite suggesting this - I can also have the same problem.
Did you use a lot of modular to create this? (I'm on the fence about whether I go down that rabbit hole).

Wow thanks, that's great to hear 
Noted re: volume, will focus on that when I'm doing further wok on it.
It's not the most complex patch, mainly relying on Rings (a resonator) and a 4ms Dual Looping Delay, plus a few fx modules and some sync'd LFOs/envelopes.
Rabbit hole is exactly the right term for modular though. I adore it and for me it's the ultimate form of synthesis, but it's very easy to sink a ton of money into achieving something you could do a lot easier on a fixed architecture synth. If you haven't already, I'd highly recommend trying out VCV Rack to pick up the basics and see if you think it's something you'd enjoy.

Not sure your DAW, but Ableton's compressor does a great job of bringing up volume.
I love the track even more knowing it's a simple config.
VCV rack is great, I've messed around with it a bit, and I have owned a few semi-modular pieces in the past and was always a bit lost.
With that being said, it's been in the last year or two I feel like I've suddenly understood synthesis way more, hence the temptation.
the TR06 has some awesome eurorack friendly integration, so I'd probably start off with a pico drum or two. Thank you for such a detailed response
