Tackless covering The Brazilian by Genesis, originally released on their 1986 album, Invisible Touch

A cover of the Genesis song, The Brazilian, originally released on their 1986 album Invisible Touch.

Technical Notes:
This performance uses some drum patterns on the Arturia DrumBrute Impact that I've set up to alternate between depending on the part of the song. I also have the bass set up on my Boss Loop station pedal to trigger during the "chorus." There is a 2nd Boss Loop Station pedal to trigger some extra melodies at the end of the song. I set up a rolling sample using the CMI software in the Arturia Collection (a Fairlight replica) to handle the pattern that starts the song and appears throughout. Pads and other lead via the Prophet and Mini software from the Arturia collection. Deepmind 12 by Behringer handling the lead.
