For a while I have been trying to take my studio productions and perform them live. I have been working on this song for a while now. This song started out as a preset on the Korg EMX-1. Based on that I did the song "The Legend of Andromeda Gulch." I later used the same bass and kick part for my song "Democracy" based on the protests in Madison, WI. Awhile ago I had started performing with the Moog Little Phatty arpeggiator. I originally started out with an extended jam on the Little Phatty that I would do with a delay pedal. The LP has a great sound but without effects it sounds a little too dry. A delay is all it needs to liven it up. I had worked up this LP routine over a few weeks and then didn't do anything with it for a few months.
Next I started taking the electribe (EMX1) out to the open mics again. I wanted to use the same beat I had used with Democracy but without the political commentary. At first I did an intro with the Theremin and a combined jam with Theremin and electribe. The next week I switched to the LP, doing my original LP Arp jam and also added the KP3 Kaoss pad using the synth sounds. I added a few samples and came up with the following set piece. This only uses three instruments (LP, EMX1, KP3) and was performed as in a live setting (so although I did it in the studio I did it all as a single stereo track recording, I also used Voxengo Elephant for post production.) The LP is processed through the EMX1 and I use MIDI sync to sync the LP and KP3 to the EMX1.
