A single layer experimental composition using Elysium 0.7.7 playing the Kore 2 instrument 'Abaska Bong' through the 'Hello Repeat' effect from the Kore 2 factory library. In this track both the tempo and the pulse rate of the generators are…

This is a very simple composition using two Elysium generators with an oscillator controlling the pulse count of the first and the offset of the second. Elysium is playing Kore 2's "Abendstern" instrument through a multi-compressor effect called…

I meant to comment a couple days ago. This song is epic. Such atmosphere. Great work on this playlist.

The first track I built, back when I was still full of hope for this exercise. I'm not convinced the hope survived it :)

don't be so hard on yourself. Featuring your home-brewed software deserves mad props! I like this track, and I look forward to your release of Elysium. Good work!

A very dull title, I guess my hopes for this track are not high :)

My favorite so far from your 24 hours, the electric guitar sounding sounds are really incredible. I imagine sitting in a dark cave, water-a-dripping, shadows playing across the walls, wide-eyed and alert.

Congrats Matt! I'm on your fourth track, so far an absolute success. This one reminds me of assignments from composition classes back at Oberlin. It's been amazing to hear all of the various sounds and moods powered by your machine o love, Elysium...

Brilliant project - an astonishing 24 hours!
