Proof that you don't need inspiration to make great stuff.  tongue   

This track really stood out in the week's playlist.  It's a beautiful motif, supported by spot-on instrumentation.  Favorited heart

Very nice main riff and i love the noise party, especially the sheep sounds smile

fantastic!

Morose, but I enjoy the sounds.

The metric groupings are fun in this: I hear it as a 9/8 grouping from the start. Kudos on making that sound effortless heart

Thank you for the comments folks, nice to throw something together like this and get positivity back heart

I love the odd time feel. The bass sounding like 4 + 5, coupled with the main melody sounding like 5 + 4, gives it a nice tension. Cool sounds, good job!

Thank you! smile

Great showcase of the MS20 Mini. Love the sound of the old analog synths (even in the re-issues).  Somehow the limitations push endless variations. Well done!

Thank you! Totally agree about limitations leading to new and sometimes unexpected results. I don’t have any actual old analogs, but I find I get different results with the ms20 than from the more streamlined and full-featured ones where I more often tend to fall into old habits in how I make and play patches. The MS is more like a character with its own will for how things turn out. smile
