Driven To Tears....by Route 92

Dark Star....by Echo Beach

It's the electronic re-realization of a 2013 composition.

From the EP "Alright" by Gregg Plummer and me, released Sept 1, 2022 on Bandcamp under Gregg’s account. From the EP, this is the percussion-laden version which I completed in my RoR Studio in August 2022 and re-made on November 6, 2022. The original synth recording by Gregg was made in 2013 for our house concert "Yerba Buena Yerba Mate".

My portion of the recording was made using the following gear: Paiste 2002 ride cymbal, Alesis Surge drumkit, M-Audio Keystation Mini 32, Shure microphones, ProMark Anika Nilles drumsticks, NAL (Natural Acoustic Lab) shaker, Meinl tambourine, Studio One DAW and plugins. 

Thanks to @gregg-plummer for his always-inspiring musical partnership.
