  4. My favorite song? Well, like picking a favorite child but unlike that situation, no one's feelings are gonna be hurt so... I'd say "Psychedelic Ghost Story" overall but it's close! "The Mystic Swims..." is very close for me and there's nothing I don't like.

    But I guess "Dream Vessels on the River of Time" works the least well for me in hindsight.

  5. And the #MPC of course... 85% of the effects on the album are from the MPC. I used a bunch of its plugin synths. Its #workflow and capabilities shaped the album from beginning to end. And unlike #Ableton, which is an incredible program, I am able to get into true #flowstates with the MPC.

  6. The final key element I haven't mentioned is a #Morphagene based #ModularPatch that I used to create a performance of an old #FieldRecording I made of some kids on a tire swing. It blended in amazingly well with the wild vocal pad-meets-didgeridoo sounds that most of the track hinges on.

  7. During the #Production phase this got a few #pads from the #KawaiK4r and a selection of #samples, from my #vinyl sampling in #PreProduction; some #Morphagene bits I had floating around; and a few horror movie samples to pull it together.

  8. The reel itself was about half little kosmische loops I made with the modular specifically for this purpose; the other half was mostly drum sounds and loops from the Tymp Legio and Volca Drum; the remainder was found sound samples taken from microcassette.

  9. There's also a collection of the weirder sounds a #Korg #VolcaDrum makes in here -- all manner of weird squidges, burbles and blaps. Those and the Alpha Juno stuff came during the production phase, on the respective #InstrumentDays. The rest of this is all samples, some treated by the #Morphagene.
