Even I can’t tell for sure if maybe I just like it because I’ve spent too much time on it.

The Cheeze Machine is a magnificent freebie that does one thing very well.

Here it’s running through a delay plugin called Echomania. Yep, Free too.

Unusually, I’m not using the Airbase99 for the main drums. No sirree it’s plugin called Drumatic. I think it has a certain charm.

The Airbase does make an appearance in the form of HiHats.

The Oddity bounces a nice Hollow Square Wave bassline.

The Novation Supernova was the source of the backing chords. Running through Ableton’s Filter Delay and their Flanger.

Synth1, the ultimate free VST is the lead line. Ths is the part I’ll improvise live, but for this song I probably won’t stray too far from the part “as written”. Or maybe I will.
