This is literally the first sound to come out of my ms-20 mini once I got past the testing-all-the-knobs phase. Nothing but the ms-20 mini  and Bootsy's excellent Nasty DLA delay .  I think this may be the beginning of a long and beautiful friendship...

ms-20 mini first try

I've been in the midst of  a hardware acquisition phase, and this is the first tune I've done in a very long time in which all of the sounds are derived from hardware instruments.  Insofar as I've reverted to some older-style production methods, it seemed appropriate to do something in a slightly older musical style as well.  Kit list: Korg X3, Korg Z1, Korg MS-20 mini, E-mu Audity 2000, Ibanez AF75, recorded through a Focusrite Saffire Pro40 and Alesis AI3.  Effects include Kjaerhaus Classic, Focusrite Scarlett, and Phoenix in Flight plugins, as well as Tokyo Dawn's awesome Feedback Compressor and a number of Bootsy's excellent plugins available on his Variety of Sound blog.  Sequenced with Reaper.  This tune is being made available as an uncompressed .WAV, so if you've got the bandwidth and the patience, please feel free to download.

The Past Is The Future

New mixdown, now with dynamics!  Should be easier to listen to.

The First Rule

Atmospheric, melodic Drum & Bass with actual breakbeats.

Analytic - Diffracted

Simple downtempo track I did to get a feeling for some new hardware I recently acquired, including among others a Korg Volca Beats, Yamaha EX5R, Roland MKS-50 and SE Boomstar 4075 among others. Slowest tune I've ever done, I think.

Tesseract

DnB tune I've been working on.  Ran out of patience working on the mixdown so I'm just uploading it as-is for now.  Maybe I'll do a different mixdown later ...  or maybe I won't.

The Grid

Analytic Throwback

Analytic Concentric

Genre-bent Dubstep/Garage/House/Atmospheric/Electro/I-don't-know-what track.  140 bpm shuffle, so it should mix into a Dubstep or Garage set with no problems

Vanishing Point

New track.  C8H10N4O2 is the chemical formula for caffeine, so I'm pronouncing this one as "Caffeine" in spite of the wacky spelling.
