“Haptic Clouds” was written entirely on the Elektron Digitone as an experiment exploring the instrument's capabilities. Without MIDI interfaces or external sequencing, I focused on the Digitone's potential, and embraced its limitations. The Digitone is a beautiful instrument, full of flexibility, and power. The instrument has its own unique workflow, and very specific limitations. Working within that framework, and those limitations unlocks a well of creativity.
I spent a good amount of time hand crafting hundreds of custom FM patches. Once I had a good collection of diverse sounds, I moved into production, meticulously composing the 8 tracks that make up the album.
The album is designed for headphones. I hope you enjoy listening to it as much as I enjoyed creating it.
I had the honor of designing some sounds for the Syntakt, and this Saturday I’ll be live talking about it with @bboytechreport , Mario from @weareelektron and @flux302 on the @beatppl Podcast on YouTube!
