Wolf & Goat No. 2

This one turned out a bit... unruly. 
I leaned into it being a bit loud and fuzzy.
As with "Wolf & Goat No. 1" this track features the raw analog drum sounds of the Akai Rhythm Wolf paired with distorted (DS-1X) 303 bass (the "goat.") I did a few things differently this time: I used the bass instrument from the Rhythm Wolf (square wave), I heavily applied "howl" distortion, and every part is MIDI sequenced on a Polyend Tracker (although nothing was sampled into the Tracker and no audio from the Tracker was used.) I manually tweaked lots of parts while it was playing.
Everything was finished in Bitwig. The 303 part gets Arturia Tape-201 wildly modulated delay, I used a noise split on the Rhythm Wolf to attenuate some rogue frequencies (on the previous track I tried to surgically remove them with notch filters in EQ+), and I put a little bit of cozy reverb on the whole thing to make it slightly less dry. But mostly I'm just letting the Rhythm Wolf go nuts and do its thing here.
