Lots of computer troubles this weekend, which led to me having very little time (six hours or something, maybe eight) to make this track. The drum mix sucks, but whatever, some of the other things are still kinda nice. Enjoy!

Lots of nice sounds in this one! I like the main pad that starts right at the beginning the most, and how it interacts in a suspenseful dissonance with the slightly detuned synth.
Was waiting for the arpeggii though. When they finally came, the computer trouble odyssey atmosphere was perfect.
I agree, computers were a mistake! This song wasn't tho! That instability in the synths sounds great. The instrumentation across the synths feels real cohesive. I almost feel like this song could take on an entirely different energy in a drum-less version too
They most certainly were. But they sometimes help us make chippy synthy goodness like this!!! What is a person to do!?!?1 
As an ex-IT guy, I tend to tune in right away when I see a title like that. Love the warbly/fizzy stuff. Kit sounds ok to me. Dig it!

Same here hehe.
Nice track!
The squeezing of the lead and the overall detuning create such a vibe. With the detuning, it remains ‘legible’ for ears trained in western music but at times it reaches the boundaries of ‘is this still in tune?’ - love how you play with this boundary and temporarily cross it
