Sep 13, 2023 | Pat Cotillo Jr.

Musician Pat Cotillo Jr. has recently released "Escaping from the Darkness" (link to Bandcamp), an album of tracks inspired by John Carpenter, Brad Fiedel, Fabio Frizzi, and more using a number of Cherry Audio virtual instruments. Hear the title track above and check out the entire playlist on YouTube.

"Every song in this collection has been sweetened with Cherry Audio flavor! Such as the expressive solo string synth intro of Depths of Darkness Part 1 and Desolation, as well as the bass line during the solo of Innovation with the Surrealistic MG-1... the MG-1 brings back memories of my High School years as there was only one in the class and I was lucky enough to have it assigned to me.

Then the glide cello-ish patch in Depths of Darkness part 2 and The Message with the DCO-106. Another synth I mentioned before is my own Juno-106. I must admit, I use your DCO-106 more than my hardware 106, and a few times side by side. The entire rhythm line (2 different patches) as well as underlying bass line of Zombie are all DCO-106. Side note - Zombie was used as an opening score to a low-budget (Or NO-Budget as the Director/Producer called it) film years ago called After the End (IMDB). This is a completely re-recorded version.

But these three songs were created exclusively with just one Cherry Audio synth:"

The Run - Mercury 4

The Hunt or the Hunted - Polymode

Runaway Imagination - Eight Voice
