Synth Jams I is a compilation of tracks recorded live using analog and digital synthesizers and drum machines. The songs were created from improvisations with different instruments and were captured practically the moment after the creation. The performances have been posted on YouTube over the last 3 years.

With influences from the songs and the timbres of artists like Vangelis, Jean-Michel Jarre, Erik Norlander and Kebu, besides several works of electronic / instrumental music, the tracks of the album do not have a common style, but they share a main element: the sounds created with synthesizers.

In this process, the idea was to interact with the instruments, create and manipulate sounds in real time. It was also part of the plan to leave the computer and music production software out of this process. Therefore, anything that could not be played simultaneously live was performed by a MIDI sequencer.

Gear used on Synth Jams I:

►Analog Synths: Arp Odyssey, Moog Sub 37, Dave Smith Instruments Mopho Keyboard & TETRA, Behringer Deepmind 12.
►Digital Synths: Korg Radias, Roland JP8080, Roland SH-32, Access Vírus Indigo, Yamaha DX7II, Nord Stage 2EX.
►Drum Machines & Grooveboxes: Roland MC-808, Roland TR-626, MFB 522, Korg Electribe ER-1, Novation Circuit.

All tracks were recorded with iPhone using the Guitar Jack 2 Audio Interface and the AudioShare app. I connected the mixer outputs to an audio interface connected to the iPhone and made the recordings."
