...trying to bring some Color to the gloomiest part of the Winter! Honestly, it hasn't been that bad this year. But some Color is still always nice. Don't you agree? :]
Let's begin with some Chords from the Roland JU-06a & High Hats courtesy of the Cyclone Analogic TT-78 Beat Bot... fresh back from it's trip to Burbank!
Here come some Noodles from the Motherland! Brought, of course ...by our Comrade the Elta PolivoksM! ( Complete with Flanging by the TC Electronic Thunderstorm! )
Then Gramma shows up, with some thoroughly Modulated Bass... & Pound Cake. Gramma always brings Pound Cake!
...now the Percussive voices of the Beat Bot are fading in. They're on their own Bus & singing to us from the Cave of the Spring King! ( While their Kick, Snare & High Hat compatriots each enjoy their own Mixer Channel, the Snare reverberated by the Sky Surfer on it's Plate Setting. )
Drop the Beat!
Next we encounter the Behringer MS-1 in it's natural habitat, hunting Tree Frogs & humming a 9 Note Sequence. This despite the fact that the rest of the Robots are marching along quite squarely in 4 ( Or 8, if that's how you prefer to count it. )
Transpose the Bass a bit, throw in some Drum Fills, keep those Noodles flinging around the room, fade out the MS-1 & the Chords, Bass bows out too & what do you know? ...it's time to cross the Bridge!
Slowing things down a little. We switch up the Rhythm & begin with those same 9 Notes. Then some Noodles.
The Chords return. As do we ...to the Drum Pattern from the 1st Movement & we're back in familiar territory!
Here comes Gramma on her Vespa :P
" ...but wait! Where's the One?" you ask?
We pushed that motherfucker off a cliff years ago! :P ( As is particularly evident in this final bit of the Tune. )
Last call Ladies & Gents! Ya ain't gotta go home... but yous can't stay here! Get out of my bar & make sure you leave the glasses!
( All Footage/Animations shot/created by your's truly :] )

A series of six improvised recordings made with my Arturia MicroBrute & or MicroBrute SE...
( which is only different in that it's white, came with a cool messenger bag & stackable patch cables for the Mod. Matrix )
All but one of these compositions is centered around the live modulation of a repeating pattern generated by the Microbrute's 64 step sequencer.
I recorded these performances with Reason 7 & tried to avoid relying too heavily on the use of effects in post production. Instead drawing the line at Timbral enhancements like Equalization & Reverberation. You'll find ( almost ) none of my familiar long Feedback Delays.
