Studio Electronics: Grainy Quadnic

"Grainy Clampit and Quadnic—one moving the other static—get a little sweetening from the ErbeVerb, 2017 Winter NAMM. Very early 20th century orchestral at times. SE88 filter in the mix.

Our Oscillation module makes faint appearances, seemingly in the beginning only (0:16), but one can never be certain of much."

Everything is parallel processed between Warps, Optodist, Echo Degrader, Big Sky and EPSI then recorded live to 2 track."
