Think fast

Finally I've got back home and have been reorganizing my studio, trying to bring back the joy of using some hardware (and letting go the gear that now I hardly ever user, no matter how "Pro" and cool it seems to be).
I this this one using one single synth, one stompbox pedal and my mixer. No automation, just simple MIDI clips and some oldschool knob tweaking. The idea is really simple: my astronaut is trapped inside the reactor, with a failing control system... kinda the "cut the red wire" moment, hence the name of the track.
Tools of the trade: Waldorf Rocket, TC Electronic Arena reverb, Ableton Live as MIDI sequencer. No additional FX and no further mastering other than normalizing. Maybe the final render has some unwanted artifacts in the low end, but I'm not using my usual encoder so I'm not sure it's just me or my software updates.
Hope you enjoy this piece. I was trying to be somewhat cinematic and urgent and create rhythm and rush without using drums... Kinda happy with this humble result
Best week for everybody out there!
