Notes:
I. Echoes : explores electronic reverb, delay and other simple effects and tries to mimic them acoustically with real instruments as well. II. Intergalactic Rodeo : Inspired by pop/Americana music; constructed around the sound of the vocal bass preset, which lowers the voice by several octaves III. Creepy Little Doll’s House: Is a soundtrack to an imaginary scary movie: In a miniature house lives a creepy little singing doll, a fierce devotee of the holy trinity of hedonism. IV. Too Simple For Words is a wordless, scat singing song, based on a very simple chord structures and plain accompaniment. It uses the harmonizer feature of the device.
