notes
On 'What Is Life' (Anti Up, What Is Life album title track), short, filtered chord stabs punctuate the drops, tuned to the Anti Up's UK-inflected bass house Chris Lake worked in at the time. Oscillator stack, filter movement and envelope are hand-set per the patch fields for this specific role rather than templated. Confidence is inferred from the act's and era's documented gear, not a specific patch source.
