A rough hardware jam. I'm spending some long overdue time with the cirklon after working on a video game and finding paying work. The cirklon is endlessly interesting, there are so many workflows to discover and features to explore. I keep falling deeper into the rabbit holes. Launching clips with MD took a little head scratching and I can't sort out whether to I want to move drum sequencing to the cirklon. The elektron workflow is so damn good on the native hardware, despite all the power of the cirklon. I sort of fantasize about the more elektron-like p-lock UX for the cirklon which feels blasphemous to say. Cheers and kisses. 

Hardware: Korg Monologue, Ensoniq EPS, Moog Mother-32, Elektron MachineDrum, Sequentix Cirklon, Roland JV-1080. 
Software: Bit of multi-band compression and top-end spatializing in Ableton before the final bounce.

Sonidos Subterraneos is pleased to premiere a new track, this time we have the great Tel Aviv based label: Confused Machines, with the track of the Italian duo: Machinete
"Cost to Cost" is the release name!
The album contains 10 electronic music original tracks. ENJOY
Next we leave you the description of the release_

Comprised of raw recordings, spontaneously conducted between 2012 to 2020 in Venice and later in Milan, Machinete are Marco Segato (La Serpiente) and Pietro Giubilato (TLXCO) executing and modulating rough post-industrial beats into pummeling electro structures with a brute sense of nocturnal acid in the air which strives to bring power to its knees.

All revenues from this album will be donated to The Ghassan Abu Sittah Children's Fund (https://gascf.org). The fund provides medical assistance to children in critical need and supports the medical sector in Gaza and Lebanon.
