## Caption

Thanks intellijel for the motivation​⁠!

This competition to win the module - and the meaning of “sealegs” inspired me to synthesise the sounds of an old wooden ship’s boards creaking, along with an attempt at creating seagull chirps. & using my legs to control parts of the synth patch and composition! (white noise for the waves of course)

- Expression pedal for lengthening the creaking sound, and filtering the sequenced kick, bass & perc. 

- Sustain pedal - stops the percussion sequencer.

- Floor Tom - triggers an envelope that scans through a sequencer’s 16 steps & creates a staggered squelchy saw wave sound) 
- Kick pedal - plays electronic tom 
- Hihat pedal - plays the hats

“Sea legs” refers to the ability to walk steadily on a moving ship, or more broadly, to become accustomed to a new or challenging situation. - The phrase “getting your sea legs” is used to describe someone becoming comfortable in a new situation. 
(Combining my ❤️ for modular synthesis and drumming has been quite the journey, requiring some work! - and the melody has an unsteady rhythm )

Why I want to win the #sealegsjam competition? 
The sea is wet, but my mix is kinda dry! 

(I have been holding off on delay and reverb in eurorack until I find something inspiring and affordable) 

In truth, there’s a basic delay on the seagulls using the Voltage Lab 2, & faint short reverb on the melody/creaking sound from FabFilter Pro-R.
