Yamaha RX11 Patterns Dump

A small piece initially based on a drum loop which inspired the title.
Kurzweil 1000PX (Piano, Vibe), Alesis Fusion (Fairlight famous "Arr 1" sound), Roland MKS80 (sweep sound), Novation Xio Synth (Bass), Akai S5000 (Drum loop), Yamaha TX816 (Brass and timpani). 

La Marche Des Triceratops

First track with my Alesis SR16. Starting after the 45th second, the melody is based on a single note played continuously on the Trident. The resonance of the famous SSM2044 filter is screaming, creating high pitches which are amplified by the internal flanger. I added a phaser, an echo and a delay to amplify these pitches, which results in random overtones. Instruments used: Alesis SR16 (drums), Alesis Fusion (rhodes, fairlight, celesta), Korg Poly61 + Korg MS20 (bass), Korg Trident MkII (strings, effects, flanger). Effects are based on Electro-Harmonix Small Stone (phaser), Boss SE50 (stereo echo) and Ibanez DM1000 (delay).

Neurasthenia

A short piece I played live to test a Roland FP8 after I just repaired it. Everything comes from the FP8, with the exception of the brass and small sequence coming from my Waldorf Microwave. Text from Julius Ceasar, De Bello Gallico, book 1. Recorder on Tascam DP24, the voice is recorder thru a Behringer Modulizer Pro.
