This demo track came in on AH. It features an ARP 2600, Minimoog, Fender Strat, and Line 6 DD4. Amazing track. It's a good showcase of the 2600 and Minimoog in this setting. BTW, it's a great track for blogging zen. : ) Click here for Heath's homepage with more.
Update: Some background on them. I thought Heathfinnie was the name of the band, but it's not. They don't have a name yet. I was trying to place the track above and I realize it put me in the same mood as Michael Brook, one of my favorite musicians. I remember seeing him open up for David Sylvian. Amazing show. It's good to have more music like this out there. I hope there's more to come.
From Heath:
"The band is just me and a friend of mine, Jamie. We both play guitar and synthesizers so we can trade off on a lot of things. On this track he played guitar and I did all the synth parts. It was a live and done improv. Most of our songs to this point have been done inprov almost as demos since we are still writing songs in preparation of doing a release and some shows.
Basically this track started with Jamie playing a pattern on the guitar and I was just playing the filter on the 2600. So all the synth you hear in the first 10 minutes or so is just the filter of the 2600. No oscillators at all. I was just raising and lowering the resonance to be in pitch with him. After a while I set up the filter to modulate to the lfo and set up a hold so that freed me up to play the minimoog.
We don't even have ourselves a name yet."
