- Words “The Reset” by Alan Watts
“A MENTAL RESET” happens while asleep and the brain processes all past happenings preparing body and mind for the future to be able to handle the now in a manner that fits the own thoughts about life itself. The brain scans the now in a constant rhythm to adjust thoughts how to react. We should have a collective MENTAL RESET learning from the past, be silence for a while and aim for a united and peaceful future, starting NOW!!

Gear list “A Mental Reset” by SONICrider
All tracks are created with modular and hardware gear, recorded in stereo and mastered in Ableton via a Weiss master chain.
Beside the TipTop Audio Z-DSP’s and several modules creating atmospheric layers (using envelop followers controlling them), each track has a main “instrument”.
All MentelScans: are created with 3 ACL Q-LFO’s where the 1v/o inputs are chained, this makes the created wave forms unique from harsh noise till freaky bubbling sine like tunes and everything in between.
The Reset (words by Alan Watts - the inspiration for this album): 4MS sampler has a sound bank of several modular sounds + Waldorf Pulse2.
Brain Exercise P1 and P2: Rob Hordijk Benjolin as sound and modulation source controlling Pittsburg Modular set up + live input into TipTop Audio Granular processor.
Rethink: ADDAC 112 granular & looping module ideal for drone like tunes.
Consideration: TipTop Audio Buchla set up + Pittsburg Modular chain as lead voice.
Coincident: a modular track played through several granular modules (ADDAC 112, Mungo g0, TipTop Audio Z-DSP).
Peaceful Memory: voices of a DOT plugin played with a Rample sampler module + Pittsburg Modular chain as a bass (Elektron Machinedrum for hats).
Breath Taking: a collection of modular VCO’s (bit detuned) creating layers + Benjolin module controlling noise sources.
Thoughts Trigger: Moog Matriarch + envelop follower controlling several modular sound sources.
All sound sources connected with 3 UAD Apollo 19-inch interfaces where each input has a channel strip insert managing the EQ setting obtaining space and atmosphere. All inputs summed as a stereo feed recorded into Ableton 12.
Studio monitoring: ADAM A7X plus a sub (10 inch).
