Piece based on Kurtis Blow's jacket. "I took the catalogue description and fed it into Google Translate. The output was turned into a WAV which was then manipulated. Some of the detail was turned to Midi data. "This was then fed back into my DAW and provided a melody idea. The remaining track was then manipulated until a structure was reached. Some sounds of clothing against the mic input of an OP1 became synths which were then further pitched and turned into basic synth lines. The jacket sort of became the song."
