Flying away

Tried some new sampling techniques on this song.  Sampled an old middle eastern song, tried to fit it with analog sounds I made on the arp2600. 

That's one deep kick! Love the sample and what you've done w/ it (particularly the cuts around 1:30-something mark).

This is dope, great manipulation of that sample, nice blend of sounds with the pad and driving kicks, did you use a software version of arp2600?

Thanks !  I eq’d the hello out of that kick.

Thanks J.  I bought v collection 8.  Cake with arp 2600.  Best synth.  I bought the cmv as well but my laptop is too weak to run it.

The kick kicks hard! It has a lot of body and grounds this track. Super cool. I like the pad-like layers that float above and the exotic samples.

Thanks.  Theres actually no pads used in this song.  I did some granular synthesis on a chord from the sample, and slowed it way down to make the pad.
