In this piece of cinematic electronic music, I'm channeling my inner Tangerine Dream to create something ambient out of all the arpeggios that are happening between the Buchla and the ARP-2600. I'm still experimenting with combining the Intellijel Planar 2 with a Make Noise Morphagene and a Monsoon (mutable instruments Clouds clone). This time, I'm using a kalimba and a shaker from my local shop to create the ambient background texture as a bed for the notes to lay on. Bass voice is coming from a Moog Grandmother and the higher voice is a Novation Bass Station II controlling a Sequential Circuits OB-6 module via MIDI. In my original rehearsals for this, the music was pretty ominous and mysterious, but the Morphagene and kalimba combined to go somewhere happy, so I followed with the other notes.

Patch Notes:
AKG C414 microphone to Befaco Instrument Interface to Morphagene to Monsoon to X-Pan to Boss RC-5 looper pedal to Eventide H9.
Buchla Easel Command 208c to Make Noise Erbeverb to 4ms Tapographic Delay to X-Pan then same audio chain.
Envelope Generator to both low pass gates, timbre, and inverted to waveshape
Random voltage to sustain, sequencer steps, and modulation
Sequential voltage to pitch of complex oscillator
ARP-2600: basic patch using all 3 oscillators tuned in unison. Arpeggio is from the keyboard controller.
Moog Grandmother: basic bass patch with envelope to filter cutoff and a small amount of pulse width modulation.
OB-6: unison patch with both oscillators modulating between pulse and sawtooth waveshapes. Lots of filter cutoff modulation with the envelope.
