Microbes

This one grew organically from some beat patterns which ended up not making it in--one of my beat variations took it over, and the original sounded weak in comparison. Typical-for-me 606 and K3M, with a couple different Beat Repeat return channels, including the occasional simulated robot vocal. A couple channels of Operator (bass and the high-resonance pad), and a bunch of little snippets of Bleep Labs Nebulophone for noise and texture. Originally the Nebulophone track was a bursts-of-noise thing, but a couple tremolo/modulated bits seemed to lend more of a hook, so I brought in more of those. I also tracked two interacting bass guitar parts I ended up scratching; they just didn't fit, but might reappear in something else.
Name suggested by one of my kids--both of 'em kept bobbing their heads while I was working on this, which was a good sign.
