Uncle 202 by zuur

For once, some background. Years ago at a family gathering, my uncle Peter handed me his mint MC-202, because he knew I made music and "liked synthesizers with a zero in the name". His exact words!

He died about a year ago in rough circumstances so it's no secret this is a tribute to him. To once again express my thanks for thinking of me and not let the 202 gather dust in his attic.

In making the track I completely rediscovered and rekindled my love for the versatile sounds from that weird little box. All sounds, apart from the drums and the main pad, are MC-202.

All lines either continuously or at some point quote the infamous dies irae notes, used throughout the centuries in requiem music.
