Op-1 jam written whilst traveling on an airplane.

ritchUAL - OP-ticon 007 (above the clouds)

Adrift in space during a galactic storm.. 

Dark, noisy machine textures and stuttered drums.. 

Live jam with a wonderfully talented colleague.  He's playing across his patches on a microKorg while I was on a Dave Smith Tempest and an Op-1 to fill out some audible spaces. 

ritchUAL - Hail Boil (f. patrik nilsson)

A dreamy and moody take on a favored track from the wonderful cat n' kitten of Sinfinis. Check out the original off their LP, Schizophilia: http://sinfinis.bandcamp.com/album/schizophilia

Remixed/Written using a Teenage Engineering Op-1, a Dave Smith Instruments Tempest some light programming in FLStudio11 and recorded in Reaper.

Sinfinis - Desert (Sun Bleached Mix by ritchUAL)

Demo for an upcoming project.  Didn't intend on releasing anything just yet, but this one resonated with the day...  So yeah.

ritchUAL - How Long Until the Amber Cracks

Now that I've had the OP1 (I've taken to calling it the Normandy) for a while I decided to record a looped and on-the-fly live jam. Still a few rocky transitions but soon I think I'll have this 'lil fella down to a near-exact science.

Ended up having an interestingly emotional ride tonight, tucked within some good old fashioned over-analysis and this is the result. 

Hope you enjoy.
