A little 80's influenced semi-improvised pop jam. Featuring the SH-101 on bass and lead with help from the Roland TR-8 808 drum machine.

The vocal samples on the kaosspad are me "singing":
A. Dance with the color blind
B. Look for the bottom line
C. Listen to the sky
D. Tell me you're a firefly

* The Oberkorn was just used as a way to sync TR-8's clock to the SH-101, I just ran a sequencer gate from the oberkorn to the SH-101's Gate input. It's overkill in this case but it's the only piece of gear I had that could do this.
