Drone, drums, and sequences progress, one into another. Even in a dark universe, beauty emerges from the darkness.

NOTES:
The stereophonic drone here is created using Double Helix with the sine-square oscillator of the 258t running into the second input. After the contour and dynamics the signal gets split and goes through two lowpass filters for a right and left channel. This drone morphs into a Steppy-sequenced bass drum. Capt'n Big-O delivers some random glitch sounds through a VCA controlled by random CV from the Joystick 2. Some pinkish noise get morphed into Steppy-sequenced hihats. Finally the sequences are the sin-saw half of the 258t passed through a crossfader for amp. modulation, a wavefolder, the Crow filter, the Bat Dynamics Controller, and another VCA! That's all being sequenced by the Black Sequencer and heavily modulated by the 281t, the Wogglebug, Pam's New Workout, and the Black Sequencer. Just fading and morphing different sounds in and out through the performance. Delay is provided by the Volante and Reverb by the Mecury 7.
RECORDING:
Recorded direct with just some limiting and normalizing.
