This my friend, it's overflow
And when that happens, rest assured
There's many things you need to know
Won't tell you one, by God, I'd have you floored

Yes ofcourse, it's far too common
I was too late, and you had it coming
But where to complain of such a poor design?

Information overflow, it's enough, nothing more, nothing in
Information, deep frustration, oh no
Information comes and goes, we expect you to react
Information, propagation, blah blah blah

This my friend, was overflow
But when it happened, God let go
Many things you needed to know
He put the line where love's supposed to go

Go get your wisdom somewhere else
He's not a bad person, and deep inside you know


Overflow

Closing that door felt a little itchy
- Cause in your mind, that's a little tricky

Now I have a hard time with the problem definition
- It's not what to define, the problem's only fiction

All this effort is making me frown
and while I'm wandering in reason I'm down
Millions of questions are stuck in my head
and I need a little help here

Stay close darling, I'll touch you with my warm hands
- Careful lady, I'm not in it just for amends
(But you never spoke that out loud, did you?)

- But if you wanna play hard to get, then you will get in trouble
Now wait, lend me that hand once more, to stop turning

Lyrics:

He left the shire today
On bare feet, and bound to stray
For the greater cause, without a thought
Now, is he a hero or madly insane?

Forgive me my sceptism, but I've seen that evil piece
It holds all cold and yields a call
And he is only half an age, where aging be seamingly ceased
True, I discourage this suicidal path of fear

Fear and flaws
- But it's a strong force that I'm adhering to
Fear and flaws don't lead the way

Fear and flaws long for a point you can call it over
Near, nor far, you can trust it to sway

Embedded in my people
All locked up in messy minds
And just when you're not looking,
you will face the biggest surprise

Leave the effort aside
Don't be mistaken in pride


The Biggest Surprise

Main purpose of the tryout was to lay down a few patterns on the Analog Four (bass + pads/leads) and try to evolve those sounds over time (mainly filter and pulse width tweaking, trying to make the LFO effects more prominent without changing their depths) as well as getting it to blend with a piano sound... as well as keeping it going for four minutes straight without causing a major breakdown (the non-musical breakdown, that is).

Apart from some interesting swingy delay and panning effects on the hi-hats (brightened/darkened using Time and Timbre's excellent Morph Master Mike feature), as well as a very wet delayed cymbal sound (the ticking clock in the beginning and at the end), the poor drums had no attention at all. Mainly A/B'ing 4/4 with and without.

Note to self: in a studio setting, you might be able to split/record the A4 sounds and EQ them separately but you need to find a way to achieve better dynamics IN the box. Maybe not using ALL oscillators and ALL subs would help ^^.
