There's a pretty solid meme going around in which programmers try tackling the ubiquitous task of redesigning that dreaded volume slider in all your apps. The twist being they deliberately do it in the most annoying and infuriatingly unusable way possible.  Take a look here.

Instrumentation:
The main instrumentation for this piece is primarily an assortment of mellow synth pads.  I hear one sharper riser-type lead synth kinda buried in the mix.  Synth drums dominate; 808-ish hi-hats.

Production:
This is a pretty wet song - lotsa delays and verbs. Instrumentation is lush and wide.

Other Fun Details: 

• Vocoder in the intro
