'The Machines Are Dreaming' - new track

Caustic Song file (optional): 

My second new track of 2014 (Automaton was the first http://www.singlecellsoftware.com/node/3451). *oops, 3rd track of 2014 - Metal Maschine Muzique was the 2nd*

I've got another 4 or 5 stems that feel promising too, and a couple of remixes on the go surprise

A change from four to the floor grooves into glitchier but contemplative territory, a lot of live recording with the onscreen keyboard on this one, very little automation. I relied on the FX and the synth patches to create some movement;

2 Modular synths (P Quenin's Modular presets that ship with C3 are really interesting, I hope he's still around and creating some more)

2 BB's

1 Subsynth

2 PCM Synths

1 Organ Synth too 

*Soundcloud is experiencing downtime so I've no idea whether the upload worked or not. The embedded player doesn't work at the moment*

I have made the mistake of downloading the caustic file. I should be working on my own stuff not turning your stuff into 'one direction' like pop songs...

I've made a start on 'Astrological Anomaly' this weekend too.

Slow progress though as instead of working on other peoples stuff I keep getting side tracked by my own projects wink

Thanks everyone, I was wrong

Thanks everyone, I was wrong btw - I've been using some PQ Modular presets but on this track I used Audiovapour's AV Balloons preset and the Sonar preset that's in the Modular presets section of this site.

I've fiddled around with them both quite a lot but as templates to work from they're fantastic. The AV Balloons patch has this crazy pitch instability (which is cool) but I tried to suppress it for this track.
