If you dare to thwart me, I'll come back to haunt thee.

The main instrument is the Korg MS20. I used the Juno 60 for background chords.

100% Silk are releasing Silk to Dry the Tears, a 31 track compilation commemorating those lost in the tragic Ghost Ship fire in Oakland just over a year ago. Half of the profits are being donated to an organization called Safer DIY Spaces that emerged in the wake of the disaster. They “offer confidential guidance, financial assistance, and labor to the frequently vulnerable members of the Bay Area’s communities who live and/or work in non-traditional «DIY» spaces.”

Bolting Bits is more than happy to help support the cause by promoting the compilation and premiering the first track on it from Birmingham-based The Cyclist entitled The City Hangover. 

An emotional piece at its core, it starts off on a bittersweet note with warm yet brooding pads and a synth melody that opens up as it progresses until it climaxes and mutes to a lighthearted arpeggiated pattern. Meanwhile, atmospheric noise brings up the tension as the various percussion instruments build the rhythm to a second, more rhythmical apex. The song fits as an appropriate metaphor to the tragedy at hand, melancholic after the loss yet building positivity as time goes on through the community efforts made to help those affected and others who may find themselves in tough situations.

Silk To Dry The Tears

PREMIERE : The Cyclist - The City Hangover

First recorded jam on my eurorack setup.
The Left channel of the Morphagene plays into the 4MS SMR which has its rotation being gently modulated. A the 4MS is self patched with the post env outs then the SMR's odd and even channels have been fed into the high and low inputs of the Three Sisters. The right channel of the Morphagene is runing through Clouds Parasites then into the centre input of the Three Sisters. The all input from the Three Sisters runs into the 4MS Tapographic Delay and the final stereo blend has been recorded.
