The Pattern Emerges

The Pattern Emerges is a track on the Electrosonic album, almost certainly created on a VCS3 synthesiser.

Though the album has three authors, this track sounds like pure Delia.

Instruments

The melody with its chords, showing tremolo

The bass instrument

The piece is constructed of three voices: the melody, the chords and the bass line.

The melody and chords are played on something close to a sine wave with a 7.5Hz tremolo (a regular variation in the volume of the note) and the bass on something similar but without tremolo or vibrato.
