All done on M8, used a few sliced up Fors Opal samples for textures.

It's 1 am and the fire alarm in the apartment block is going off again.
Last night a big group of people in modded cars and racing bikes were hooning around the carpark rooftop nearby for hours. Before that Chinese New Year celebrations, banging drums and setting off crackers in my ears while I try to relax.

Fun times! Here come the fire brigade!

Incredible drum programming on this track! Hoping you can get a restful night sometime soon!!!

love it!

This is the 3rd M8 piece Ive heard today. I thinking about getting one and perhaps this is the universe saying do it. Love the tune!

I think it's seriously the most OP piece of music making hardware you can get. Let's you go from broad strokes to minute details so easily where most other hardware is good at just one layer, M8 easily lets you shift perspective while seeing details in the context of your song. Highly recommend it!

Loving all the intricate textures in this, especially as they gel into that smooth second half.  I'm sure it was a very relaxing tune to have in your back pocket by the time the fire brigade screamed into view.

This is a seriously insightful explanation of why M8 tracking feels so frictionless.  Going to start pointing this out next time someone asks what's so great about it.
