Too slow to be labelled minimal techno but still has a bit of the vibe. Based around the "preset" on my Subharmonicon "shifting intervals". Just playing and testing sounds after a very long break:) Only sample used here is the word «silence». The whole track is put together using midi sequencers (many with cables everywhere), synth modules (too many), FX (hardware reverbs/delays/distortion), drum machines (ER-1, Cycles)with a few compressors/tube processors added for colouring before the main mixer and 2 submixers are connected into an Native Instruments Kontrol S8 mixer and recorded on a PC! The whole track was then mastered using wavelab 10!
