This week's track takes inspiration from the 2017 film "The Current War" which I finally had a chance to watch on Friday. Inspired by the inventions of Tesla, Edison, and Westinghouse, I decided to do some inventing of my own and dove into the Moog lab to create all original analog sounds for this week's track. All built on the Moog Grandmother and Model D except for the vocoder which is from the KingKorg.
All the drums were hand played using single pass monophonic analog sounds from the Moogs. No sequencers, samples, and no digital patches. I imagine this is what it would have been like recording electronic music (like Kraftwerk) in the late 70s before the next wave of technology hit. Except the gear has gotten much smaller. I did use some flextime editing to tighten up my 8 tracks of hand played drums. That's cheating since that technology didn't exist in the 70s 
I think this is my favorite recording of the year because I really had fun constructing the old school sounds.
Hope you had a great halloween. Looking forward to the election here in the U.S. this week. Let it be over.
