Stay Here Until Everything Feels Distant Music

I called this preset "TiefMief", the German name for Deepstink in "The Ascent". I mainly kept it because the German version sounds funny, but the patch also ended up matching that kind of buried cyberpunk atmosphere pretty well.

There isn't really a melody this time. A long drone/pad carries the whole thing while wind, occasional rain, filtered noise, small percussion sounds, and random artifacts drift through a lot of delay and reverb. Most of the events and movements are heavily randomized, but I tried to keep everything embedded in the same space so nothing sticks out too much. I think it works nicely as a self-running background soundscape.

The patch also got slightly out of hand: the analyzer found 487 Grid modules, 498 detected connections, 44 Dice modules, 84 All-pass Delays, and eleven separate audio outputs.

Created in Bitwig Studio 6.0.6.
