What the hell's a djembe? No, me neither. So it gets an airing in the intro. Tried to hit a just-behind-the-beat edginess to fit in with the just-behind-comfortable intent of the song. Titles are hard. *Tech Corner* More clangs and thuds…

A bit of Frankenstein of a song, lyrics cobbled from old lyric fragments, with variations on bass and melody and piano motifs, like I couldn't make my mind up where it was heading. Something about it, so has made the cut! *Tech Notes* Hmm…

This started out from some sound design doodlery. A couple of the synths I've been using have some non-standard routing options, so I've been getting better acquainted. They're not modular, though the Reason hosted stuff does have visible, virtual…

TL;DR: it's got percussion in it. I had an idea for percussion-heavy song: that I found tough to articulate because it's not a usual thing for me. More practice required. I dialled back the bpm as the percussion became (even more) a wall of…
