My composition Buchlaease has two tracks both instruments are Arturia’s Buchla Easel soft synth. For one track I used the Arturia plug in EMT LT-140 Plate Reverb on the other I used the Arturia plug in Spring Reverb:

Hi @hammondo74 and welcome to The Sound Explorers Forum!
Just listening now… Definitely seems to be a nod to KH Stockhausen going on here… never a bad thing imho 
The two reverbs are an interesting choice, the spring seems to be accentuating those upper mid harmonics, not quite to the point of discomfort, i think you hit that point exactly there.
A few little hints of BBC Radiophonic Workshop/Delia Derbyshire toward the end too. Nice the way it morphs into it actually.
Looking forward to your next one 
Ps,
Please make sure to subscribe to our Newsletter to be the first to know about the latest from Arturia.
Thank you MatJones for listening to my work and for the kind words. As most I am always working on my next project and on occasion, prior to publishing, I do post my work on my Soundcloud channel under the name Hammondo. Also my web site Stevemillerkeys.com may be of interest. Cheers! Steve

Another one I did today with Buchla Easel and Arturia’s software version of the EMT LT-140 Plate Reverb. Wish I had room in my house for one of those suckers I see them on Reverb from time to time. The plate is 4’ by 6’ or something like that.
I called this one BuchlaII Now I get to see if I can remember how to upload content am not quite there yet;-)
Dang it I remembered;-) I just added the link to my post like this:

The Electric Music Box written on the Easel is quite apt.
It is always full of surprises.
I remember having bought The Wild Bull by Morton Subotnick in the 60’s. Presumably composed on the Buchla. I remember it was very impressive.
Yes indeed most impressive! And in the 60s most likely, my guess;-) is this was done on a four track? Wowsa. Great stuff. Don Buchla was of course a visionary. Here in the PNW we have one person last name Stroh (first name I forget - I worked with his father Greg for many years but never met the son perhaps Dustin? not sure) his creations are certainly impressive although I have yet to avail myself of them: https://modularaddict.com/manufacturer/stroh-modular

Sorry hammondo74,
I had not noticed your reply.
Buchla was from the West Coast like Dave Smith (Sequential).
I bought Smith’s Evolver #200 something in the 90’s; the sound was second to none. I had a lot of fun tweaking the Evolver and still have it.
I wrote to Dave to tell him how much I liked his synth. A very simple and likable person.
PNW? I had to search a bit. Pacific North West. I have a niece living in Portland.
Yes Francoise! I had a Prophet 5 I purchased at Apple Music in Portland. I did love that store heck I had a Dynacord CLS 222 Leslie sim that I ordered there. When it came in the only vehicle I could drive there for pickup was a box truck with an 18’ box on the back, a big one;-) I had to parallel park around the corner. I put my flashers on and ran into the store. I signed for it but the guys there wanted to hear how it sounded so of course I had to explain that I was double parked and really needed to leave;-)
My analog collection is very satisfying I purchased a reissue Minimoog Model D in 2016 it has quite a few bells and whistles not on the original including a third oscillator more options of what can modulate what, and my personal favorite addition a push/pull switch for the mod wheel so you can switch from sine to square wave modulation. I can get some ring mod type sounds with the square wave option on the mod wheel. Fun fun fun stuff indeed.
I also purchased the Korg/ARP 2600M reissue when it was released. Came to me via Korg Japan to Royez Music in France, to me. It has some great features too including a ring modulator and built in speakers and amplifier. I have on order a DIY kit from Frequency Central it is supposed to arrive tomorrow (Friday) I am very eager to its arrival so I can get it working and experiment with it. Also I have a Moog Phatty with the optional CV card a great synth plus a Korg MS-20 that is a delight. That acquisition was most interesting as I had purchased a Korg Nautilus 88 but it arrived with a broken key and items rolling around inside it. I was afraid to power it on. So when the replacement arrived I was surprised to find inside the package, both the Nautilus 88 and the MS-20. I did not order the MS-20. Hmmm.
I too have family in Portland I lived in and around Portland in the 80s and 90s I have lived in the Seattle area for 25 years. Cheers francoise thank you for your response I certainly enjoy our conversations! Steve
