notes
The atmospheric synth fx/texture layer on "Suburbs of Moscow" (Teases & Dares, 1984). 1984 Wilde-family production: transitional kit, Jupiter-8 alongside an early Yamaha DX7 for bells and stabs, guitars pushed forward with synth pads filling behind them. Built from noise + 1 saw -2 (swept texture), shaped by a BP 12 dB/oct filter (long sweeping automation across the section), finished with plate reverb (short-medium), light BBD-style chorus, no delay unless doubled by production.
