notes
Confined to the intro and texture passages, not the song's riff (that's guitar and bass): a noisy, near-self-oscillating VCS3 patch swept by hand via the instrument's joystick rather than a programmed envelope, drenched in spring reverb and echo feedback for the science-fiction wash Dik Mik was known for.
