Wrapping Rainbows - Shagghie - Rozzbox demo



"K-
This track was recorded live, in a single take.
Rozzbox into Eventide TimeFactor, into E-H 2ube pre running two 1949 Wurlitzer 12Ax7's out of my old 4100BD organ.
That went straight into Logic Studio 8, along with the Jomox xbase 888 on the drums using some simple, but effective patterns.

I chose not to sequence the melody, but rather played it by hand, while reserving my left hand for the Rozzbox knobs. This helped me do legato pads and velocity emotionally. I rehearsed the general idea twice, but then just 'let it out'.

Backstory.. my girlfriend Kate couldn't sleep one night. I got a text message from her. So I awoke, went to studio that was lit only by a blacklight, and fired up the rozz and the 8's, etc. 2 hours later, is what you hear here.... a lullaby called "Wrapping Rainbows" that shows the Rozz's beauty and the beast....and expresses my love for my girlfriend. I emailed her the .mp3 to her iPhone..she popped in some earbuds, and awoke the next morning with a pillow that was still wet from the tears she cried.

I've never known a synth that can capture and *convey* so much raw emotion so effectively.

Now, if you would just come out with that ENGLISH manual! :)

    Yeah, the Rozz can do keys, pads, and warm stuff that rivals the SunSyn on some levels...it's quite a crazy little box! And ALL with SUCH warmth, it is moving the second you pick it up and play it.
    I think Roger at BCM said it would be August? I can't recall. I'm thinking of getting two and being done with things for a long while.
    This one is SN#10, with a custom laser etched aluminum backplate and handwritten note from Killian. I was working with Killian for the last few years to get one, well before he or I even knew Roger would be distributing them here. I've since turned at least 20 people on to BCM/Roger, so it works out well for both of us I think.
    I have another tech acid house tune i did with the Rozz entirely that is getting signed. As soon as it is, I'll share the link.
