A tune produced almost entirely with Buchla-inspired Sputnik Modular modules:
- Dual Oscillator (DO)
- Single Oscillator (SO)
- Quad Function and Trigger Source
- Quad VCF/VCA
- 5-Step Voltage Source & Selector

With help from
- Disting mk III
- 2hp Verb
- Intellijel 1U Noise Tools

Dual Oscillator and Single Oscillator sequenced by 5-Step Voltage source on a very slow trigger. Very slow envelopes controlled by Quad Function and Trigger Source. Disting in panning delay mode applied to Dual Oscillator. Verb used as final reverb, pretty darn wet.

As the tune progressed I increased the following:
- Envelope attenuverter on DO Timbre
- S&H attenuverter on DO harmonics "symmetry" parameter
- Amount of AM applied from DO modulation osc to main osc
- Amount of FM from SO sine to DO FM input
- Amount of waveshaping applied to SO
- "Openness" of Quad VCF/VCA applied to SO sub-oscillator
