NOTES:
We open with a drone from A-111-5 going out through some effects pedals (Polaris phaser, ADG-1 delay, and Spring Theory). Next come the lead sound from the OB-6, basically a pad patch where I'm playing with filter cutoff and distortion. Next come the lovely choral backing pad, which is a Jupiter 8 patch from MC-101. Then the pulsing bass on the Minitaur. Then an arp on the SE-02. Then two different sequences on the modular, one from A-100 and one on Lifeforms. There are two different noise patches that come in for wind effects, and random cross-modulated Buchla bleeps for addition sound effects. Master FX are Volante and Deco for delay and tape saturation, and UA Golden Hall 224 for reverb.

RECORDING
