"I've been poking at this small modular system, trying to find unusual combinations of rhythms mixed with randomized melody lines. I found a pretty good balance, and recorded this. There's a handmade quality to it, as all three sequencers are started by hand, and the volca beats is a little bit different in its timing than the FH2s."
