The Orb - Little Fluffy Clouds - hardware only cover/recreation

Yes, another version of 'Little Fluffy Clouds', but this time #DAWless with a vintage #Akai sampler and a box of floppy disks because that's what they had back then

Lots has been said about the samples and structure of this one, most of it covered over on ‪@GyuBeats‬ beats excellent Ableton breakdown.

Kris doesn't seem to be active at the moment; there was a Kickstarter a few years ago but nothing since. Buy him a pint if you ever meet him.

Sequenced on a #Roland MC50, synths from a #Nord Lead 2X, Samples on the Akai S3000XL, mixed on a Neve 8816 and recorded directly to a Zoom H4N. Filmed on a Pansonic Lumix GX80 and editing on the most crash-happy software on earth Premiere Pro.
