Elevator by The Killer Bee Relay Team

This is a love letter to the sounds that first made me interested in synthesizers - the warmth of Wendy Carlos, the wide soundscapes of Mort Garson, and the at-times-goofy covers of The Moog Cookbook.

In that same spirit, this is performed and recorded live, using only hardware synthesizers. Primarily my modular synthesizer, Arturia Microfreak, Roland SH01A and TR8s (running a CR78 emulation), with spatial effects from the Hologram Microcosm and Dreadbox Hypnosis.

There's also a physical version available as a reel-to-reel tape, limited to a made-to-order edition of 10.

A collection of music videos for each track, made using my collection of vintage 8mm home movies can be found here - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FfjAhGqoV7E&list=PLNaWDlBHafHnblIoImkd4o7-otCPezhkK
