I started this record I Go Away at Photo Call’s(Eli Epstein) studio in Los Angeles.  He has a label call Computerlife and also is working with Ghostly.  Anyways, we began this record with a Prophet-5, clavichord, and other amazing outboard panning, reverb, phazer, etc..modules.  His studio is unbelievable.

After bringing the record back to NY, we began to deconstruct it more and challenge the structure and sound scape.  We decided to add additional pads from the OB-8 to build up the chord progression and set the sorrow filled sounds.  All of the OB 8 sounds have a decaying feel like they are dissipating into static.  I added a very slow pitch modulation LFO to the patch in order to give it the feeling that it is bending down and fading away.

We also had to fix the OB 8 because it wasn’t storing its presets and we would have to load the presets from the cassette tape.  Peter Wade figured it was the internal battery.  I used to work at Atma_Sphere building pre-amps, so I got out the solder gun and soldered the battery into the circuit board and that seemed to fix its internal memory.  Keeping it haute.
