Roland MC101 evolving atmosphere
This is a short evolving atmospheric track created on the Roland MC101, which contains both presets and samples. The 2 main progressions are polyrhythmic so they collide at different times. One is a de-tuned synth chord sample played chromatically and the other a pad preset, which sounds a little Boards of Canada-ish. A piano sample and feedback effect (preset) utilise the random function and trigger semi-generatively. Everything is coming out of the MC101 via usb, apart from a folly track of running water, which was added later. Some slight eq and compression were added in Ableton. Enjoy.
