That is not my dog

This is my longest track of the year just under 7 minutes, and is recorded live to stereo track in one pass using semi-modulars with live mixing. Very little in the way of editing and no over dubs except the addition of the samples.
The track is made up of a single sequence line using seven oscillators, two noise generators, Roland TR-626 drum machine and no actual keyboard playing (Technically I touched two keys in 7 minutes). Most of the live performance is on the Soundcraft EPM8 mixer (on the right in the picure below) with various knobs and rocker switches on the Moog Grandmother, Behringer Model D and Pro 1 along with 3 pattern changes on the TR-626.
Not much post production. I truncated the beginning and end and added the samples from the Pink Panther.
My set up is really messy but having everything at arms length and plugged in makes a huge difference. I had other parts in mind for overdubs but decided to stick to leaving this as a two track live jam. If I was faster moving with tweaks on the mixer and synths, the song would be half as long and much tighter. More practice I suppose. Thanks for listening... sorry it is so repetitive.
