Always on the threshold, always buzzing, get out of my head, get out get out

2nd in my series of granular/glitch piano creations. This time I am trying out a new instrument called Cumulus with a sample from SoundIron Emotional Piano. I setup the scene points and let the internal sequencer run, then put it through Audio…
