This very piece of music, more than any other, hooked me on the Buchla Music Easel. It's taken from Donnacha's album "Stay perfectly still", wich is an amazing testimony of what the Easel can achieve on it's own. Here is my modest take on it. The Easel became my favorite electronic instrument since day one when I bought one late 2017. Maybe the only synth I really need. This is a live take, the...

      Hi ! Yes it’s all Easel’s. However the BlueSky reverb Pedal provides a 5th wich helps creating that lush orchestral sound. The patch is nothing special. The Mod Oscillator is the 5 steps sequence. The mod oscillator plays the bass part. The pulser drives the sequencer.
