Omega Ronin: A 2400 Baud Romance Song Commentary
I grew up around old mainframe computers, terminals, and modems. There's something magical about the sound of "2400 baud." It's heavy-duty. (my computer Edit-Station 1 has a dial that will select a 2400 speed if your modem can handle all of that power.)
This is one of my favorite Omega Ronin tracks. While it's a simple song, I layered a good bit of producing effects on top of chords and keyboard leads. I stepped back after making it and said "Whoah. I made that? I made that!"
After A 2400 Baud Modem and Syntax Rhythm, Omega Ronin never looked back. This entire album set the style moving forward.
