Cinematic session 3 Recording the Persephone

YouTube via RothHandle

"I am currently working on a couple of different projects but one of the most interesting and exciting right now is a score for a norwegian film I am working on with the ever so talented Matti Bye. Me and Matti met in the late 90s and we played together in a project called Ingy for a short while. After that we did some music for a silent moviw and then we sorted drifted different and separate ways for a couple of years. Matti is one of swedens most sought after and in demand composers and perormers and he is very active in a wide array of settings, genres and musical styles. He is one of the most talented musicians I have ever had a chance to work with. He is very intuitive, fast and uses his ears more than his fingers a lot of the time which is a wonderful thing for a musician. You start by listening, then you play.

When we met again several years later we had some coffee in the studio and immediately started discussing the idea of playing together again...This resulted in a album called Elephant & Castle which will be released this fall in Sweden. The music on the album is very ,much based around the instruments in the studio. A lot of weird screechy organs, optigans and Mellotrons. It is all sort of dressed in Cirkus clothes... and to top it off we also used the pipe organ a lot. The album was a lot of fun to do so these sessions are sort of an extension of that creativity and energy.

In this film you can see Matti playin a quite odd instrument, the french Persephone which is more or less a ribbon controller with a built in oscillator, fun for the entire family...

This little snippet was filmed using my cell phone. It was shot at Roth Händle studios in Stockholm. If you are curious to know more about the studio, please visit www.roth-handle.nu"

"IN this film you can see Matti playing the elusive and very heavy Yamaha GS-2. This was treated through my spanking new Modular system. In this film the Yamaha is going through the Motm-420 filter and a synthesizers.com reverb"
