daniel arena - towards programmed intellectual nothing [solo analog electro megamix]

i am normally super OCD and microedit tracks forever. this one got smashed out though.

sounds like: clark (2nd/3rd bit), early warp (reverb+melodies! - 3rd/4th bit), martin galway c64 soundtracks, random acid stuff.

hugely appreciate any feedback. i've been doing this a while but haven't been releasing a ton of stuff up until recently.

this set was sequenced from solo, single-take hardware jams recorded to two-track with minimal editing and post-processing, mostly between 18-24 sept 2016. everything was mashed out live into sequencers with nothing prepared apart from a few rhythms.

so there's a bunch of mistakes and clipping and leakage and analog grunge printed in. you can maybe sense the terror in the second half of some of these tracks as i desperately hang on.

gearlist:
arturia beatstep pro
roland rc-505/sh-2
microkorg/volca sample/monotron delay
moog prodigy
teenage engineering po-12
elektron sidstation (died during recording)

I went back and fixed this up a bit. So the original link is a little better now.

So I made a video clip. Made of retrogame footage that took a fricken age to capture properly.

Nice! Really like the video. I'll give it a dl

:-)

awesome, thanks!

Track is good, video is wicked, like the pads also.
