Mosaic

This song was made with an Elektron Digitakt drum machine and Digitone FM synth. They make a nice pairing that I want to spend more time this year working with. In this track I tried to build up a looping idea over time, adding elements, adding energy to parts, taking them out, and trying to overlay them on each other to build a vamping kind of journey through the song. I recorded this as a single take jam, after planning when to switch patterns, use mutes and fills.
The prompt for the song was mosaic, hence the title. The initial loop idea came from messing around with some chords and a melodic idea, and seeing if I could layer them through different automation of the filter etc using the parameter locks of the Elektron boxes.
