Sound sources and treatments are as follows: 

Shane Morris
-          Gourd Water Drums
Edited in DAW to make one shots.
Sampled into an SP-404 where patterns were sequenced.
Processed by stereo envelope filter and modular synthesizer
to sculpt the ‘kick, toms, snare, rim’ sounds.
 
Rtech / Biokit (alivemachine.com)
-          Steady (Palm Tree Leaves processed with granular synthesis)
Sampled into an SP-404 using the chromatic pitch shifter to set up a note for each pad. Ptterns were sequenced in the sampler.
Processed in parallel via stereo envelope filter, modular synthesizer, and dimension chorus.
This is the ‘demented farfisa’ sound.
