This track started as a basick daemonstration of a homemade Arduino-based MIDI controller.
I mapped its controls to the filter cutoff and resonance of the main synth. What's interesting about the part is that instead of creating a separate lead and bass synth, I just routed their notes through the same synth. Later, I layered in some pure SIN wave bass to fatten up the sound.
Lastly, I grabbed a chunk from the beginning of Chapter XIII of a free Treasure Island reading. Something about the words "grey coloured wood" sitting there side by side struck me and felt right for the piece.
I hope you enjoy listening as much as I enjoyed making this.
