This track has been made with Teenage Engineering PO-16 “Factory”.
No effect, no cutting.
Only edit = fade out in the end.

Factory Works

In memoriam Achim Szepanski (1957-2024), founder of the Mille Plateaux record label and inspiring human being.

Andrea Taeggi, Snd, Tim Hecker, Alva Noto, Andreas Tilliander, Sutekh/Rrose, Pole... Many of my heroes were found on the Clicks & Cuts compilations or on the Mille Plateaux label.

Such sounds brought me depth.
Peace.
Space...

So much left to discover.
Thank you for the amazing legacy!

--- Production notes
SY: Digitone > CMX1978
FX: Microcosm > GenLoss2 > Empress Reverb
BPM: 93 as the year 1000 Plateaux was created

I started with the abstract beats that I love so much in the work of the artists cited above.
Trying to give most percussions their own sound…
Until I reached the limit of capacity of the machine.
Then I added some sad yet cheerful synth in the background…
To get the mix of sadness and closure that I can feel when someone has passed whose work I admire and will forever keep living in my heart.

Took a train to space... 
Wasn't too late, but had a crash.
While floating in the empty between life and dea†h.
7 vibrations collapsed in the corner of my eardrum.
And...

Only 2 tracks were used on the Rytm, BD1 + SD2
No effects (even the panning didn't make it to the recording)
Lots of fun with this pretty machine.

Missionaut #2 - Bit3s

First track with 4 hands ! I'm very glad this track made it !

So, very first collaboration with http://soundcloud.com/tamaris on a finished track (this collaboration has now a name : https://soundcloud.com/elabo)

We both took part to the elaboration of it, from playing sounds to mixing the result in Ableton. 

Very good experience, to be continued...

Instruments involved : Elektron machines (Analog Rytm, Octatrack, Monomachine), Shruthi-1, Blofeld (bass !) and Volca Keys+Bass

Feels like I fell upon LEM's somatik techno sound signature. 
But it gets pretty angry. Greta angry. 
Keep on kicking their arses, sister. We all wish we had such guts.
