I was working on a track that was using a large chunk of my anlogue synth hardware. Upon closing my DAW, a note got stuck and all of my synths starting doing crazy things at once. This inspried me to jam away live without any form of a sequencer.

This is totally improvised, live and was recorded as you hear it. It's entirely imperfect, but perhaps that's the beauty of it?

The pads and bell sounds are all provided by my Roland JX-8P. The bass sounds are my Korg MS-20 Mini. The oscillating synth sound is the Arturia MiniBrute and finally, the whine sound is my Oberheim SEM-Pro. They're all going through a Spirit FX-16 mixing desk that has an amazing built-in Lexicon reverb on it. Sadly, my MS-20 kept cutting out, so you get to hear that too!
