Always love your drums and percussion, and this track is a great reminder of why.

ooomph ... great sequencing! Very haunting. Excellent stuff!

Very very cool dark vibe with the aggressive beats.

Ah thanks man!  So glad this was a track I'd actually programmed everything on then as opposed to completely generative!  haha. smile

These are a few of my favourite things.  smile. Thanks!

Nice work on those FM sounds. Totes rad.

I've been saying this a lot this week, but I need more money to buy more modular and desktop gear. The Soma Lyra-8 has really caught my eye, and the MakeNoise Tape and Microsound machine.

Thanks dude!  More incoming this week and I've nearly finished my custom FM kit for the ER-301 which is what all these are from.  Had it all done yesterday with all these awesome morph options but it didn't save correctly.  Argh!!  Hopefully rebuild what I lost today and work out the correct save operation.

Funnily enough I've had an itching to do a Buchla track soon.  (synth in gif.:). )

It's a slippery slope so be warned!  Hehe.  I've come so close to buying the Lyra 8 several times!  I'll have to try it one day.  I've got the MN Morphagene and it's great module but the button combos shit me a bit so I'm not inspired to use it as much as I should.  Have done some cool stuff with it though!  Used to have the Phonogene and that wasn't as powerful but it was more spontaneous and had a lovely lofi sound.
