Real time hardware performance and manipulation followed by some further composition and mixing 'in the box'.

Here's a snippet of the actual performance.

Cinematic! Is that a Bond film title?

Love the combination of close and distant sounds. Followed on ig wink

Superb. Those sounds in the background that kind of swirl around, what are they made from? Synths? Amazing if so.

Also, Terminator 2 soundtrack, eat your heart out.

Thanks mate!  If you're talking about the sounds throughout (eg. at the start also), then that's from the Octatrack.  If you're talking about the glitchy percussive stuff in the heart of the track only, that's a beat I programmed and then tore apart digitally  smile

Some of you guys just amaze me with how you can throw in a sound here and there and turn it into nearly perfect music somehow.

Thanks man.  Appreciated! 
I like to think of some of my devices as musical instruments.  The two I used here are definitely 'musical instruments' as it takes many hours of practice to become proficient on them and this was all played in real time (including the manipulation) exactly like an instrument.   Personally I don't enjoy using a sound someone has already made.  I'd much rather create my own sounds from scratch.  Much more rewarding personally and aurally.  smile

Well, I play guitar and a little keyboard.  I get some interesting sounds by playing with unique tunings and effects chains.  But I have no idea how to do what you do.  On the other hand, I had no idea how to play guitar 5 years ago.
