I was kindly asked by the amazing VST/Plug-In creators Arturia to make a track utilising the new version of Pigments in return for being laced up with a copy and the new complete Arturia V Collection (which has been an absolute must for me for ages - beautifully made and almost impossible to tell the difference VST re-makes of some of the greatest hardware synths in history)

I thought I'd get cocky and make an entire track purely using Pigments - I enjoy limitations, but this was not a limitation; Pigment's is so insanely versatile while also being wide open, nothing hidden so idea to sound to composition was extremely free and exciting.

I used 9 instances of Pigments for this track, no external effects as the effects and modulation you can link up in Pigments is incredible - I highly recommend to fans of Vital, Serum & Massive - this takes things a step further in every way.

As for the track itself I went with a pretty raw 'minimal but confusing' approach - taking a lot of influence from Grime, Dancehall & Techstep DnB and a slight bit of footwork - I often enjoy runnning different sequences in different timings e.g. kicks in triplets, snares in dotted, and delays, reverbs & LFO's all in different speeds of the above - while not a complex track by any means it's proof that you can create a pretty hoofing and mentally engaging track with purely one synth and a few simple tricks

I'm hugely against Hardware Fetishism and hate how electronic music (music as a whole) is becoming an art form for the privaleged - you don't need anything but ideas and great and affordable software.
