Waldorf Quantum • Microwave XTk • Micro Q // Recording Session

video upload by Genshi Media Group

"::| TO HEAR THE FULL RANGE OF FREQUENCIES AND STEREO EFFECTS, A GOOD PAIR OF HEADPHONES IS HIGHLY RECOMMENDED |::

This is a quick, rough, work-in-progress composition for my electro-industrial project "cell:burn" using my ‪@WaldorfMusicChannel‬ Quantum, Microwave XTk, and Micro Q synths. I thought I'd shoot some video of the session. No external effects were used, only the built-in synth effects. I need to redo the drums/percussion as it loses timing around three-quarters of the way through, and then a proper mix of everything.

To hear my previous cell:burn works, go to the Bandcamp page at - https://cellburn.bandcamp.com

... also available on all other digital streaming/download platforms (Apple Music/iTunes, Amazon Music, Spotify, etc.)."
