Great track! Did you use a smallstone phaser?

This entire cue was done with only one synthesizer--an actual Yamaha CS80. All melodic and percussive sounds (even the kick) were done on a real CS. For the drum kit, the CS was sampled and loaded into Kontakt. It was multitracked to Digital Performer, and there are 47 stereo tracks in the mix. 
  I spent a year of on and off working on restoring this infernal machine, so I thought it was time to actually write something for it. Normally, I wouldn't want to do an entire cue with just one synth, because that one instrument's character often overwhelms the mix (sort of like doing a symphony for 48 clarinets and nothing else). The CS80 is an instrument with a very broad, expressive range. There is a vague futility in doing pure synth cues these days, especially with a monster like this machine, so the proper name for this piece of music is:

Du temps où je croyais pouvoir composer de la musique, voici une compilation de quatre morceaux que j'ai monté ensemble. J'ai récupéré ces morceaux réalisés en 1979 avec mon Crumar Mutiman S et mon tout premier Synthétiseur Modulaire fabriqué maison (le US1). Le tout était enregistré en son-sur-son sur mon magnétophone à bande Akai 4000DS MkII. La bande aujourd'hui a perdu ses aigus en grande partie donc la qualité sonore laisse à désirer. A 61 ans aujourd'hui je surmonte ma timidité pour rendre public mes errements musicaux juvéniles. Peut-être aimerez-vous, qui sait ?

So many years ago, back in 1979 I vainly though I could compose music. Here is the compilation of four pieces I recorded with a Crumar Multiman S, my very first DIY modular synthesizer (the US1) on my old tape recorder (Akai 4000DS MkII). Unfortunately, nowadays the tape has lost all the highend and the sonic quality of these recordings is poor I'm afraid. Anyway I hope my musical stammering might please you, who knows ?
