My muse bit me on the ass last night; This was the result. Three seperate percussion tracks (kin ya tell I used to be a drummer?) The only two sequenced tracks were the bass (ESQ1) and the drums (PK6) everything else was played live against the sequenced tracks.

This is the very first composition I did back in the early 90s when I was forced to give up drums due to a wrist problem (ganglial cyst) developed by decades of hard fast playing. You can take the musician away from the music, but you'll never take the music away from the musician. After 13000 dollars worth of surgery and the interminable recovery period, I turned to keyboards to continue my creative output. Anyway, this one is fully sequenced-no live tracks. All sounds except the percussion done on the ESQ and all drums were sequenced on the ESQ and MIDI'ed to the PK6. It's a bit repetative (at least to me) because it's a series of short sequences strung together and the effects are somewhat hamhanded, but it has a decent beat and it's not too hard to listen to.

Also composed and performed on the ESQ1 (bass) and the PK6 (strings, percussion and other sounds) No sequences- this was performed live track for track. Total of 7 tracks as before seperately processed with effects and pan information then mixed down to standard stereo.

Recorded with Cool Edit Pro. Performed on Ensoniq ESQ1 sequenced (bass ) and an E-Mu PK6 (percussion and all other sounds). The overlaying trax were all done live against the sequence in what turned out to be a 9 track project which was seperately FX'ed then mixed down to standard stereo. SUBWOOFER RECOMMENDED!!!
