As so often the case, I conducted a jam session that took a couple of hours, during which I experimented with a vast amount of sounds, settings and samples, and recorded the stereo result in Audacity. In a posts-production step within Audacity, I extracted the best parts from that jam session in order to create this track. As always, I only used basic audio editing techniques like simple crossfades. Only a touch of soft limiting was applied, no elaborate approaches like mastering were used whatsoever. Thus, the result is raw and highly dynamic in nature, so put on your favourite headphones and turn up that volume knob, because the Loudness War is for losers!

In the last couple of jam sessions I tended to use other pre-recorded sounds and samples from mostly Youtube videos, which I always provided links for. In this particular jam session, I only used sounds and samples from my hardware. The beat comes from the Beatkangz Beat Thang, which also provided the looped string sounds that can be heard at the beginning. The synth pads come from the Arturia MicroBrute, fed through a couple of guitar pedals. The bass line, that is best heard between 3:41 and 4:15 comes from the MircroBrute's arpeggiator, which was fed and modulated through a couple of Eurorack modules, most prominently the LxD in conjunction with the Turing Machine.

As per usual, many defining sounds of this jam session were produced by my modest Eurorack, especially those ethnic sounds that came from the stock audio library of the Radio Music. Since my Eurorack almost always offers elements of surprise, I myself am often caught off guard by the sounds that come out of it. In this particular jam session, I could never have composed or created these intricate ethnic melodies. In that fashion, I am not a creator but merely a humble listener, like yourself.

CROSS MISSA

the last beautiful farewell track to this album. it was fun while it lasted. i truthfully feel like iv done it all to wrap around the concept and sound im going for in this. iv used every kitchen tool i can think of for the percussion which to me, is the most important part of the album that makes it what it is.  i kept this one simple to give it a personality of its own on the album along with its predecessor "language exchange" the song.  Though its short, i still feel like it packs a pretty good punch for the last track. Track 5\
