the chase (every cosmos)

Techno! M8 techno. No vocals this week lol.
Last weeks of september promise to be a busy, special kind of hell, and I'm away for most of next week barring dog emergencies, so submissions might be less-effort-than-usual maybe.
For the curious, this was entirely arranged on the M8 and mostly mixed there. I did a little bit of compression once I got the stems into Ableton but that's about it. Used Heavyocity Punish to add a little bit of saturation and dirt just before the Ozone master.
I've been trying to find "my" techno sound; I know part of it is an homage to the old 909 drums, obviously 303 acid is a big component too. Cinematic is bringing some dramatic samples, and I seem to be heading towards 'techno wall of sound" with some drones and bass that is a bit unhinged and messy. I like the drums here, but I prefer the percussion on "the metal tide" - it was dirtier, had a bit of an industrial feel, and I think that's another direction I wanna push.
I have a full-blown Lyra8 techno sketch going that kinda meets all these criteria but not sure if it's gonna be a go for this coming week given I'm out of town for most of the week but these are fun experiments.
And ... Starry Night Cowboy continues to develop, and the album - Autumn on Ganymede - aiming to be ready by November. I only get so much time at a PC each week and if that time is working on WB tracks - and not album work - well it slows things down.
Gosh I'm tired.
