Sasquatch

Liner Notes

#techno #instrumental #electronic #experimental #crazy #FX #drummachine

And yet another track where all sounds originate from my old Yamaha RX7 drum machine - with all the drum parts programmed via midi, and with all the pitched sounds being sampled, and then altered through various hardware and software FX units.

This track is a little more chaotic, with all sorts of things going on at different points. I've altered the pitched sounds of the RX7 a lot through distortion and various auto-filters. The sound that comes in at about 1.40 is a 'brass' sound which has been altered through heavy distortion and an auto-wah, and to me sounds like the cry of a weird animal, which is why this track is called 'Sasquatch'. The snare sound that comes in at about 3.05ish is actually a 'gunshot' sound on the RX7 - this great piece of kit not only has drum, percussion and pitched sounds, but also a whole number of sound effects too. I love this drum machine!!!!

Written and recorded Wednesday 4th February, and remixed on Thursday 5th.

It reminds me of the soundtrack to a futuristic racing video game! All the different instruments you chose sound perfect together. There's so much going on in this song, and it's really cool.
