Patch notes:

A mix of hardware and software was used to make this song including a eurorack modular synthesizer, a classic Roland Juno 106 analog polyphonic synthesizer, as well as software synthesizers and a DAW. You can see some of the studio process on our Instagram

Pads were created with Native Instruments and Ableton. We used by two evolving layers of Absynth with a third layer created by running a fast arpeggio into a huge reverb patch created with Reaktor Space Master 2.

Mutable Instruments Rings is sequenced by Make Noise René in pendulum mode. This has the effect of putting the piece in 15/8 time signature. We had to learn to count this out to play the shaker by hand. Its counted (1).2.3.(2).2.3.(3).2.3.(4).2.3.(5).2.3

The bass is an Intellijel Dixie oscillator modulated by Maths to create some wonky vibrato. It's run through the Bubblesound SEM20 filter and a VCA.

Percussion was programmed in iZotope Breaktweaker.

Colorful Language is the musical love-child of Thomas Hildebrand and Josh Doubles. Their music is a polyamorous exploration of a genre-fluid relationship between house, techno, disco, and minimal—while venturing to keep it weird. Their freshman Retrieve Me EP on Sheik ’N’ Beik Records weaves between house and techno, featuring a heartfelt and empathetic vocal performance by Eamon Kelly on the title track.

Friends since early college days, Josh and Thomas reconnected after both relocating to NYC in the early aughts. They began throwing Jet Lag, a series of weekly outdoor daytime parties that started under the Williamsburg Bridge at Rock Star Bar and later moved to Brooklyn Fireproof. Colorful Language was born accidentally while bouncing music ideas around for their solo projects. They quickly realized that their creative and studio process has a unique synergy.
