Themeless variations no. 21: two people in a box

What’s that title mean, Brandon?

As usual, I don’t know. It’s just words, ya know?

Anyway, here’s the newest jam on the synth rig. This setup is pretty close to what I think the final iteration will be:

Breath lead: Novation Peak
Chords: Arturia Microfreak (sequencing by Digitone)
Bass: Roland SE-02 (sequencing by Digitone)
Drums: Elektron
Weird noises: Behringer Neutron

As you can see, the Digitone is doing some heavy lifting. It’s also processing audio FX for the Neutron and the Microfreak.

The blue lens flare you see at the bottom right is the power LED from the midi thru box I built. I’m using a Zoom H6 as an audio interface going into my iPhone 11. Mackie Mix 5 mixer is also here, with every input used - and that’s with the Digitone mixing itself with two of the other instruments. Might be time to trade up to the Mix 8 or something similar.

I hope you enjoy this weird, electronic music! Let me know!

Brandon... didn't know you had a website! I follow your tune postings as I love alternate controllers, have a WX5 and a load of other synth mess, but mostly 'cause I dig the music and how you are being human with the tech. Cool composition... Nice change in the bass sequence you threw in there midway.
FriendlySpider is my biz site.
http://PossibleMusic.com is in the works along with http://GarFlips.com GarFlips - get it. :)
I may end up having both links go to the same place. I've got quite a few URLs along with a lot of musical ideas that have been floundering way too long! Cheers.
