"Broken Sounds" - There is beauty in destruction of that sort. There is grit. There is abrasion. There is texture.

Anyway, that got panned nearly hard left and I felt like I was close. (I'd also added a touch more Hydrasynth, just some window dressing really, during my #InstrumentDays). But it *still* didn't feel done. I let it simmer a while longer, and feeling like it still lacked a bit of definition, I decided to try something I hadn't done before: sing on an album.

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.

During My #InstrumentDays phase, my notes say I added some #Arturia #MiniBrute2s (one of the main melodies) and some #Roland #AlphaJuno (an element of one of the builds). Other #instruments you can hear are the #ASM #Hydrasynth (high strings); #Korg #Monologue (main bassline; sweeps that were actually done with a keygroup sampled #MPC instrument I made before I sold the actual #synth); and last, a ton of #MicroFreak all over the place.

During the #InstrumentDays part of the #production phase, I had added a touch of #KawaiK4r (just a few vocal "chuff" sounds) and #Hydrasynth (octave stabs). I did a *ton* of work on this one the first night I was away with my family, just adding in #samples and other elements I had prepared but not actually used in the song.
