Hypercycle Sunday Drive
This song grew out of some experimentation with a delightful little VST called Hypercyclic, available free for Windows, Mac and Linux from Plugin Boutique. It’s not a regular arpeggiator, no! One of its stated features is “for mangling…MIDI”, and eventually I ended up with a pulsating little white noice rhythm which blossomed into this piece.
Sojourn of the Starman
Inspired by a recent viewing of the 2017 movie “Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle” starring Karen Gillan and some other potentially familiar actors. Tribal rhythms wrapped in synth drones, accented by piano and climaxed with brass.
A Hundred and One
This song was built on the Yamaha TX81Z’s most identifiable sound, the Lately Bass. A steady breakbeat splashed with some Yamaha TG33 bell strings and a little sprinkling of piano.
