Spokes

Lots of family and work things going on this week, but I found some time for a (hopefully) hypnotic little track. All MIDI instruments in Live: Impulse (acoustic kit--though that isn't heard directly, hand claps), Drum Rack (MPC), Analog (drone and pad), Electric (melody and bass), Tension (Zheng), and Collision (Vibes). The impulse kit went through the vocoder to play the Analog synth (a tweaked version of Space Pad with a couple LFOs on the filter cutoff and resonance). Everything got M4L Humanizer and Auto-pan as usual, along with Full Chain Master.
The vocoder synth channel got loud occasionally, when the resonance went up. Otherwise, apart from the usuals, not much is going on in-line. Sends: two convolution reverbs (smaller chamber and very large space), filter delay, and that Max/MSP modulation delay network from last week.
Title comes from the 24 spokes of the Ashok Chakra.
In retrospect, I'm not happy with the way the Rhodes, synth, and Zheng get crowded in this arrangement, so I've uploaded a slightly cleaned-up version here: https://soundcloud.com/onezero/spokes
