The Crumar Bit ONE and Bit 99 synths surprised everyone when they came out in the mid -80's. They had, like all the best synths, a warm, 'organic' character. I have UVI's great sampled version of the 'BITs', but to get my hands on Full Bucket's amazingly authentic, FREE!!! emulation last night ignited this piece of jazz-pop funkery. It sounds rather like the intros to all the 70's American soap/detective series, I used to watch as a kid, rolled into one, lol! Creating this piece also deepened my love for Tegeler's gorgeous Raummaschine reverb plugin, and Lindell Audio's 69 'Helios' channel strip. I just think they sound fabulous together, especially on beats (Inphonik's RX1200)! ...  and I do like a BIG ending (Ooh! Matron!), haha! I had a blast making this and really hope you enjoy it! :) It was beautifully mastered by Joseph at Empire mastering: https://empiremastering.com

Solaris

I've been making electronic music since I bought my first synth (a Juno-60) and a Tascam 4-track way back in about 1986. I work with singer-songwriters and performance artists, and compose for modern dance and theatre. The pieces here represent recent electronic instrumentals, where I’m exploring/experimenting/having fun with 'pop' music production techniques and composition. I currently live in Tokyo, and am interested in collaborating with other artists. You can hear my PhD compositions here: https://soundcloud.com/mphorrocks
