Felt the need to go back to something more sound driven. I've been learning a lot of new Jazz chords and wondered what they might sound like as pads. I ended up creating a device chain in Ableton Live featuring Alchemy, Omnisphere, and Absynth…

This is the first outing of a new granular re-synthesis based Reaktor ensemble I am working on codenamed "BD". The track is generated by 4 instances of the ensemble (playing different samples), panned by CamelSpace, with lashings of Valhalla…

You know who you are :) 3rd outing for Le Boîte Diaboliqué. Accompanied by Timeless 2, Augustus Loop, and Valhalla Shimmer. Samples used: * ["Swiss balcony" from Freesound](http://www.freesound.org/samplesViewSingle.php?id=59723…
