"Word Planet in Title" [mp3 removed]

This seemed like the type of song that would have the word "planet" in the title.

Description-wise it is similar to this one. I foresee chunks of it (cutting room floor and otherwise) used in later songs.

"Native Instrument" [mp3 removed]

Another monochrome, same as described here but with a layer of varnish in the form of software plugins: EQ, multiband compresser, phaser, delay.

At the paint level, the shifts in pitch come not from knob adjustment but midi commands from a laptop sequencer.

"Acid Mutation (Extended Jam)" [mp3 removed]

This is a monochrome painting with an analog filter as the paint and simple Electribe groovebox riffs as the support. Permutations are in the filtering--the sound changes depending on relative knob positions (cutoff, envelope follower, sweep, LFO).

"Rompbox" [mp3 removed]

8-bit-ish song with more Mutator filtering of Electribes. The low end is a bit rumbly at high volume so this is a "pre-master." This isn't as tight in the pop song sense as "Acid Mutation" but the timbres are getting more interesting (to me), particularly in the chorus. The DSP oscillators on the Korg are in "sync" mode and the Mutator is working like a wah-wah pedal more aggressively. This song and "Acid Mutation" involve actual knob twiddling as opposed to virtual knob twiddling. They are experiments with micro alterations of settings to get larger changes.

"Acid Mutation" [mp3 removed]

Another 8-bit-ish song with Mutator filtering of Electribes.
