The song was on an old ORWO music cassette that I had recorded at RIAS Berlin sometime in the mid-80s. The ending was stalled because the moderator had babbled into the recording again. As so often. 😃 I loved the song because I liked those metallic PPG synthesizer sounds. Without even knowing at the time that it was a PPG or how look a PPG synthesizer. 😉 It didn't matter either, because that was all unattainable at the time anyway.

Matia Bazar - Ti Sento (1985)

I used here the PPG wave 2.2 synthesizer for the most sounds. Layered with the E-MU Emulator II (strings, choir layer, percussion and some fx sounds)

The PPG Wave Synthesizer from the year 1982 is one of the most fascinatic synths ever. Used by Trevor Horn, Rush, Ultravox, Gary Numan Tangerine Dream, Depeche Mode, Propaganda, Tears For Fears, Robert Palmer and many others. Here can you find the full PPG wave playlist with a lot single sound demos, wavetable demos, PPG Waveterm demos and one synth demo tracks. Enjoy.

Kate Bush - Running Up That Hill - Synth Cover

video upload by Luke Million

"One of the most popular songs from the Stranger Things Season 4 Soundtrack is Kate Bush - Running up That Hill (A deal with god)

I’ve always loved Kate’s use of the CS80 and Fairlight in her music. Running Up That Hill featured the Fairlight and Linn9000. But since I don’t have those, I’ve thrown together a jam using bits of my gear from the same era.

Lower West Side Studio Drone Day 22 Extended Mix

video upload by Lower West Side Studio

"This is the Extended Mix to the Drone Day 2022 drone produced here at Lower West Side Studio. [short version w/ gear here]

The backbone of the drone is all done on our modular synthesizer. Additional portions were added with a Prophet '08, Yamaha Motif XF, Yamaha CS-5, ESI-2000, Nord Rack 2 and Waldorf Blofeld and Streichfett.

While these additions are not actual 'drones' they were inspired on the spot and added as I felt like playing them.

I hope this drone brings you peace.

RetroSound VANGELIS Tribute - Thank you for the music!

❤️ Support #RetroSound​ channel: retrosound.creator-spring.com

I wanted to do a Vangelis tribute track. For me personally, his soundscapes and above all his sound aesthetics were probably the initial spark that brought me to electronic music and thus to synthesizers. I have almost all albums. The COSMOS series with Carl Sagan ran on GDR television in the early 1980s. That was my first contact with his music. The sounds touched me and painted pictures in my head. They stimulated my imagination. That ultimately aroused my interest in these supposedly unattainable "miracle machines", the synthesizers. But that was all so far away back then. Rest in peace maestro.

The track Chung Kuo is on the China album, released in 1979.

I used the Roland VP330 for string sounds, the Oberheim OB-X for the CS brass sound, the Arp Quadra for the main theme and the bass & string sounds, the Emulator II for percussion sounds, the Yamaha DX7 II für the melody and pad sounds and the Roland M-VS1 module for additional horn/pad sounds."

"This is a rack version of the Emax II keyboard. It is a stereo 16-bit sampler, designed to faithfully reproduce sound across 10 octaves with 16-voice polyphony. It features SCSI, and 8 assignable outputs.

This unit is in good condition with a strong display. OS v 2.14, and a fully-expanded 8mb of RAM. Finding an Emax II in this configuration is becoming harder and harder! Power cord and rack ears included."
