The equipment used was a Bora (a small six oscillator dronesynth made by a local company called Decadebridge), an OP-1 (just acting as a USB interface), and VCV Rack running on my Mac. In VCV Rack, the signal from the Bora was put through a filter and a delay, the cut off and delay times of which were modulated by a slow LFO. The final sound was put through Vahalla DSP's Übermod and Room plugins for a bit of stereo width and reverb, with some final EQ and compression in U-he Presswerk. When recording I just left the LFO to affect the filter and delay, then on the Bora slowly removed the oscillator cross-modulations and then five of the six oscillators until only one was left.
