Picture of my "little" calm-down-setup. The Elektron Model:Cycles is running through the Lyra-8 which enables me to apply its deep double delay and distortion dirt before entering the Cosmos.

The Strymon Big Sky at the end of the chain glues everthing together, opens up space and gives flavor to the composition (interestingly I tend to call these tracks “composition” rather than "track" or "jam").

I think I will swap the M:S with the Digitakt and load up a bunch of sample collections for more rythmic and organic compositions. My basic idea is to work with sample collections rather than patterns or structures - I can imagine nice soundscapes using a bunch of mallets, for example.
