up to this particular writing challenge, while writing and composing any of my previous songs - percussion sounds have been triggered samples, either a tracker (fasttracker, renoise) or sampler (akai z8 hardware, kontakt for samples). going WAY back, sure yeah it was a mic and something (a drum?) being struck.

I ditched that approach this time around in effort to take myself out of the comfort zone. I went back and forth between a waldorf blofeld and microQ for percussion sounds when not using Gate In connection I gave my rocket desktop. Again this is all composed more or less in real time. I hit record after setting up a few very rudimentary sequence patterns on the hardware sequencer (Korg SQ64)

This was the result of some of the sonic exploration and live real-time composition building.
