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 was created almost entirely using Lennar Digital's Sylenth1 virtual analog synthesizer - about a dozen instances - aside from the drums (done using Arturia's Spark drum machine) and some pretty wacky aethereal reverb effects in the break. Drums are punchy and very much to the fore, in an early 1980's style of mix. This track was inspired by artists who favoured a more rhythmic, poppy approach to electronica like Yellow Magic Orchestra and Thomas Dolby. The title is both a reference to the "golden age" of electronica and home computing, as well as Dolby's "Golden Age Of Wireless" album
