Studio version of piece I developed for a local performance at Freq Boutique. Didn't go over so well live, due to some major SNAFUs about halfway in. Went a little better here, despite some minor SNAFUs :-).

Buchla Skylab, with 251e, 2OC, 281e, 292e, 206e, 267e, 258e, 259e, 223e, and 210e. 251e used for sequencing, and quantized in 2OC Quantermain on the O&C side. "Branches" on the Hemisphere Suite side, sending pulses to the higher melody part or the "bass drum"-ish part in the 2nd segment.

210e used to overdrive main rhythm patch, eventually.X/Y pads on 223e controller used to "warp" sounds here and there. Too bad I didn't get them framed in the video shot (a consistent issue with my framing).

Zoom MSCDR-70 used in a half-assed effect send/return, then into the EH Platform compressor, and on to the Empress Reverb. I switch presets on the Empress about mid-way through.

Recorded live to Zoom H6. Video taken on Sony A6000 mounting a 24mm Canon TS-E tilt-shift lens with forward tilt.
