Check out the FLAC version or, better yet, burn the FLAC versions to a
CD and you'll see how nice these *really* are! ;)
Artic-11/25 was the real presentation piece in this album as it's the
most complex structurally. As an exercise, I decided to use only the
Serge "Creature" and "Gator" M-odules. Going into it I thought it was
going to be very minimal with such a constrained palette but I was able
to get a much wider selection of timbres and rhythmic motifs than I
could have ever hoped.
The combination of the pulse divider and Boolean function blocks on the
Gator allowed for lots of rhythmic variety even though derived from a
simple pulse train - and having odd divisions as well as even ones
allowed for some unexpected poly rhythms.
The Creature was the workhorse for sound generation in this pairing and
I got many of the "bed" sounds, including the initial, and repeated,
"rumbling drone with sonar ping" motif from this simple patch:

That was just a jumping-off point though - I added a lot of modulation
from the Gator to that initial config to get those delicious timbres.
The VCFQ is a fantastic sound source as well as being a workhorse
multimode filter. The Trig input on that function block is a godsend for
percussion of all types.
In Artic-11/25 there are maybe six passes of Creature/Gator laid down.
Best Regards, James
