<3 Pozzetronics is from Holland, Michigan - also known as Pozze (a.k.a. Eric Bennetts). Here's a story from Eric as shared with Jessica (of In the clouds), partly liner notes and partly a response to a conversation about the joys of solo one-take recordings <3

It’s called "Jer-Ode" because it's an ode to Jerry.
It's one single take out of my modular synthesizer (except around 4:44; listen for the bird sounds, it’s a subtle second track recorded on its own on April 26th with entirely different bits) that I recorded while staying the weekend with my wonderfully inspiring and intelligent brother Jerry on the east side of the state. I brought along my travel-sized synth case with a few modules (it's all-in-all about the size of if a loaf of bread was as long as a baguette), and never ended up handling them until Monday morning, when I was to depart. He tends to sleep in (because he has a hard time shutting off and demanding sleep (which I can do, too)) so I took a walk, soaked in what a great weekend it had been of sobriety and bonding and just getting to be on some kind of chill level with a member of my bloodline...and plugged in and recorded this.
I used a keyboard-like touch-sensitive faceplate module to play the melodies into a cool oscillator (that generates a lot of cool harmonics based on the last two notes you played) with a double of free-running adjustable-with-sliders "LFOs" through a simple filter into a stereo very long time-variable delay (kinda like playing with huge digital tape reels), which in this age of electronic music production is a fairly minimal "patch.". There are dudes that have WALLS of these synthy bits…but what one would consider the standard or average or whatever size a "complete" system is about four times the size of what this was recorded with. One person, one instrument, one voice! Well, except the very late additional track o' chirps, but that's kinda like going back and adding some harmonies or noodles or that 'spice'...I know you know what I'm talking about. Or at least you're trying to keep up ;)
Ok thanks enjoy bye!
