Eastern Industrial ? Code by Nanomancer

Performances, Streams & Live Coding

Hi folks,

First off let me say this is not my code… hats off to Nanomancer,
who released this to the forum about Feb 2018.

But I’ve always wanted to include some kind of… Eastern, Persian,
Turkish (?) sounds to my range, and this seemed the perfect way in
to that kind of sound…

I messed around with it for a couple of months, till it felt ‘right’ but
then I got cold feet about posting it, because it was so obviously
Nano’s work…

Cheers Nano.

Eli…
