This one was just a little bit rushed. I had a cold this week. Nothing serious, but it was enough for me to not feel like doing much in the evening. I had this track going already and just built it out a bit more by the end of the week. I didn't want to spend a whole lot of time this weekend, since the weather is great and I'll be spending most of my time outside (bringing the m8 with me of course).

This is Tidal Cycles piping midi into Ableton, where I have instances of Zebra 3, Juno 6 V, Pure Lofi and Jupiter 8 V, and some others. The string-like sound is something made with modal synthesis on Zebra 3.

I wanted to do something without drums.

A fresh B section and this is ready for another week.

Ohhh when that bass comes in. So dope!

Soothing

Quite relaxing. Nice sound design on that string.

OMG, vox pad on god mode. I love this one.

ooh, that voice pad with the deep, deep bass....SWEET! I like the mood of this one. Nice and dark, but with a hunt of turmoil under the surface. It gives me a similar feeling as New Order's Elegia. Very well done!

ps. I love the stop motion animation Mark Osbourne did with Elegia as the soundtrack:

Hehe, I'll keep that in mind in case I am short of time again somewhere down the road.

Thank you! Zebra 3 is a sound design workhorse.
