An impromptu song that started on hardware synths and eurorack, and was finished by adding some extra sounds in the box.

This is a great example of why I love both hardware (it's inspiring!) and software (it has incredible power and can get the job finished!). Here, I was just trying out a new eurorack drum sequencer, decided to send the kick trig to the Erebus, and then began noodling on top with the MiniFreak. I wrote the song before I even knew I was writing a song. And while it was super inspiring, I could tell that I'd need a bunch more instruments to make the song feel finished. Rather than expanding the table and slowing down the creative process, I captured the inspiration already there and finished off the job in Reason afterward. It was definitely the right approach.

Dreadbox Erebus through Source Audio Ventris - bass synth locked to kick
Arturia MiniFreak - melody and pads
Eurorack drums:
Intellijel Steppy - sequencer
Mystic Circuits IDUM - extra glitch sequencing
ALM Busy Circuits Pamela's New Workout - clock and LFOs
Prok drums - kick, snare, hats
WMD Fracture - glass-breaking claps
Intellijel Mixup - mixing
Noise Engineering Desmodus Versio - ducked reverb
Intellijel FSR 1U - performance of glass breaking and reverb room size
Endorphin.es Golden Master 1U - multi-band compression and EQ
Intellijel Mixer 1U - output mixer
Reason 12 instruments:
Monotone - extra bass stabs in bridges and choruses 2 and 3
Complex-1 - arp thing, and drone/brass/pad thing
Audio editing/pitch adjustment of the Erebus notes in the chorus (didn't have enough hands during the jam)

Hardware synths recorded together live, with a few extra tracks in the box afterward. EQ'd, compressed, limited, etc. during the final mix/master.

Thanks for listening.
