This one in via The Circuit Molester"Here is my entry for the Laura Busch remix contest that is raising money for the Bob Moog Foundation. It's mixed kind of hot so listen on bigger speakers if possible. Better yet download it and listen to it on your stereo. Am I crazy or does something from soundcloud sound better if you download it? This is my first electronic based song and I would love some tips,feedback or comments. Enjoy!

A couple of weeks ago I sent my Moog Tribute Edition Little Phatty back to the factory in Asheville, NC for a factory upgrade. In addtion to updating the internal software, the good folks at Moog added some CV(control voltage) outputs to interface with older/pre midi synth gear. I'd been experimenting with CV in my DIY and circuit bent gadgets so I was excited to play around with the real deal in the Phatty.
In one of my phone conversations with the Moog factory someone mentioned that Tara Busch from AnalogSuicide.com was hosting a remix contest to help raise money for the Moog Foundation's student outreach program and as soon as I got my Phatty back I was on a mission.
My main studio was rented out for the month and since there was a deadline I pieced together a makeshift laptop studio in my dining room.
External Synths..................
Waldorf Micro Q
Moog Little Phatty
Realistic Moog Mg-1
Korg Chaos Pad
Assorted DIY/Circuitbent Noise Maker Thingys.
Soft Synths..................................
Arturia v collection
Roland Jupiter 8
Minimoog
Prophet
and Modular Moog
Oh yeah, I had never used Ableton Live before. Using a friends laptop I struggled for a week but I finally got the hang of it and got my track in 1 day before the deadline.
Someone that is used to hearing me play with Grayson Capps and the Lost Cause Minstrels might be a little suprised by the electronic nature of this song but it's still me. I've just decided to embrace my inner Circuit Molester and explore the realms of electronic music. I'm having a blast!
