This started out as a little experiment with four 303s playing in the round. Then all of a sudden I made a screamy lead I liked and improvised a melody by sliding around a Phrygian scale with my laptop trackpad!

A little bit of inspiration was thanks to the amazing music of Greg Hunter (Dubsahara), not to mention great Berlin school artists like Klaus Schulze.

There is a lot more I could do with this track but this is it for now at least.

Fugue III - All That We Desire

Needed a break from the C-tracks so jammed with my "live setup" that consists of 4 Behringer machines: 
RD-6, Syncussion, Neutron & K2 + the tiny Teenage Engineering PO 35:) 

Only used 1 send delay effect from a small mixer so absolutely a minimal set up compared to the main studio:) A keystep + a Sq1 sequencer were used to trigger the various synths. Melody was programmed;-) 134 bpm.

some times ago i was walking through my favorite woods in nighttime, beeing suddenly sourrounded by millions of small light points - it was absolutely magic to meet these glowworms. I never had an adventure like this again. Creating this tracjk i remembered this situation.

"And I
Am the arrow,

The dew that flies
Suicidal, at one with the drive
Into the red

Eye, the cauldron of morning."

Why is there no light? is one of the darker pieces from my upcoming EP, Observation Rituals. It builds slowly, layer by layer, focusing more on atmosphere and emotion than rhythm. I tried to capture the feeling of drifting through space with only faint traces of light left to follow.
