The Grey Cascade

Not a live jam this time. Been doing a few sound design sessions this week to recreate some iconic synth sounds I enjoy, but in the end I found myself unable to make anything with those that didn't sound like the track I was imitating... So I tried something new.
The process for this one was pretty different from my usual: I started with a short two-bar melody on the Lorn lead patch I had been working on, and then ran that through PaulStretch to create a massive ambient pad. Then I ran that back through my rack to add trance-gate-like gating, recorded drums from the rack, another chord pad track from Helical, and added a few vocal samples in Ableton.
Since it wasn't a live performance, here's some ambient video shot from my studio's balcony today.
