I've been interested in eurorack for a while. I approach music a lot more like an engineering problem than a composer, so the idea of using voltage manipulation to make music is really up my alley. But, getting started is expensive as hell, so I finally put the time in with vcv rack to get comfortable with it.

This is the first track I've ever really performed, and the performance absolutely has some weaknesses. I also think there are probably too many sounds for this kind of track. But overall, I'm pretty happy. I made a virtual machine that makes techno. Or in this case it might be techmo, but that's pretty close.

Going to keep playing with this thing and expanding it. My plan now is to keep working on the magical machine that makes techmo, and get to the point I could play a set with it. And then translate that to real world modules. BIG DREAMS, LET'S SEE IF IT LASTS A WHOLE WEEK!

The base groove established in the first few seconds goes so hard it literally doesn’t matter what you added this was always going to slam

I agree with Princent Vice, the main beat here goes hard AF, this sounds dope as hell. Impressive that this is just your first song with the new music making setup. I like the multiple weird noises and samples you bring in every now and then to add texture, they complement the feel of the whole thing really well.
looking forward to hearing more about where this big new dream takes you!

I love the way this track builds over time; it goes from a tense but kinda bright track to a darker more aggressive feeling. The beat that starts getting super aggressive around the 1min mark really drives through the track. Really great track, especially considering it's your first with vcv. Look forward to hearing more of your tracks using it!

I really like the momentum of this, and the high-resonance filtering on your bassline. Satisfying!

It bleeps and bloops, and it even seems to speak.
