So, what would I hate to hear at 5 am in a dystopian future? Given that I’ll be nearly a hundred, probably just about anything. But especially a free-form synthesizer jam filtered through the sensibilities of the 80s Devin Townsend, the late Keith Emerson and Hans Zimmer in Blade Runner mode.
It’s not a synth. It’s me experimenting with the beta version of Paulstretch 3 (yes, it’s a real thing!), improvising on a random sample in a way completely unintended by the authors of the program late last night. Some subsequent liberties have been taken with the basic track in order to make it more listenable (ha!).
