these sounds are amazing. and the melody is huge. like these retro-synth-key-changes. keep on

A wash of electronic noise for a sunday afternoon. I don't know why I called it Walrus.

I think the high arp just off to the right is probably a bit too dominant, and the massive build could be a bit better balanced. But I only had a couple of hours and I didn't fancy going round the mix/master cycle another time.

(production notes: all sounds except the kick drum sourced from the Novation Mininova, with a bit of processing from the built-in Ableton effects; Valhalla VintageVerb and Shimmer for space, NI Solid Mix for mixing, iZotope Ozone for mastering)

Walrus

Men Of A Certain Age

This track sort of grew organically - which is a polite way of saying that I didn't have a plan. There's a range of virtual synths on this - many from Arturia's V Collection - and the ambient opening is mostly Native Instruments Absynth. Drums and percussion courtesy of Spectrasonic's Stylus RMX, and there's some Omnisphere in there, too. Subconsciously, I was probably channeling Jean Michel Jarre, though I'm sure he'd be mortified to hear it. There's some trademark Apes With Hobbies wierdness going on, so this is a little bit prog in places. Sorry - I just can't help myself. Just consider us lucky I didn't add a 10-minute guitar solo.
