A chill one for you this week. Set up a bunch of rhythmic sequences and static pitch chords/sequences, and then improvised the harmonies on the Oxi One Mk2's Performance view by offsetting them in-scale.

"Peripatetic" because the melodies and harmonies restlessly wander throughout.

I tried a slightly different recording process this time around: instead of using the main mix directly from the modular and recording stems just on the side, this time I used the audio from the multitrack recording directly. That way I was able to get better gain staging on the stems (and consequently less noise), and it just generally simplified the process a lot. It's less modular purist though, and I don't know yet how I feel about that... We'll continue to experiment next week!

Patch notes

Voices were:

- Serge Medusa through Serge Stereo VCFQ

- Serge NTO through Serge VFCS, with occasional spikes from the Medusa through the Serge Wave Multipliers' rectifier circuit mixed in.

- Cursus Iteritas Alia through Doepfer SEM as the bass

Drums are my usual:

- Ohmforce Bohm as The Kick

- WMD Clutch as The Hihat

- WMD Kraken and Fracture as The Clap

Rhythmic patterns for the voices came from the 1U Steppy this time. Drums sequenced from WMD Metron as usual.

FX added in DAW, a touch of Valhalla Supermassive and Ableton's standard delay.
