AVICII - Silhouettes (performed live by Kebu @ Assembly 2013)

Published on Aug 17, 2013 Kebu·23 videos

"Kebu's all-analog synth cover of AVICII's "Silhouettes", performed live at the Assembly Computer Festival in summer 2013. Real-time computer graphics by VJ Julius Tuomisto and his amazing Z Vector software.

First time I heard AVICII's "Silhouettes" (not that many months ago) I thought it was quite a good tune and really liked it. But when I added a JX8P to my live rig I realized the tune would work great live as an all-analog synth tune.

The song was performed using only analog synthesizers, either played live or sequenced. The performance was recorded directly from the mixer to a stereo track and later mixed together with the ambience from the arena. A few mistakes have been cut out and replaced with the audio from a rehearsal take.

Equipment used in this song: Roland TR-808, JX8P, Juno 60, Alpha Juno 1&2; Korg Polysix, Poly 61, Mono/Poly, Micro-preset M500; Jomox AirBase99, Touched-by-sound DRM1, Oberheim Matrix 6R, Yamaha RM1x (only for MIDI sequencing), Behringer DDX3216, Lexicon MPX500, as well as a midi patchbay and additional preamps for my mixer.

"This is the second tune I made for my debut album, "To Jupiter and Back", released in May by Secret Entertainment: http://www.inverse.fi/store/?p=en.levyt.item.html&pid=17004

This video was recorded live at Kulttuuritehdas Korjaamo, Helsinki, 30th of November 2012. Many thanks to Lauri Kujanpää and Pertti Grönholm for working the cameras.

The song was performed using only analog synthesizers, either played live or sequenced. Equipment used in this song: Korg Micro-preset M500, Poly-61, Polysix; Logan String Melody; Touched by Sound DRM1, Roland TR-808, Juno 60, Alpha Juno 1 & 2; Moog Source; Electro Harmonix Small Stone; Yamaha RS7000 (only for MIDI sequencing); Behringer DDX3216, ADA8000; Lexicon MPX500; Steinberg Midex 8 (as midi patchbay).

Unfortunately, the audio recording from the concert failed - it was recorded only as boring mono. But fortunately, I recorded my general rehearsal a few days before the gig, so the main audio you hear is from that.

Cameras: Canon HF100 & HF M406 x 2"

"Mode Machines new XoXboX . A TB 303 Clone .

you can buy it at. www.touched-by-sound.com"

Thought this was interesting in that it's available from Touched By Sound. See this post for some history on them, Braintec, and MAM. They also made the original DRM-1 prior to Vermona according to this post.

"This is the Original DRM-1 Analog Drum Machine manufactured first by "Touched By Sound" and I think it still sounds better then the Vermona, but otherwise all the same features as the DRM 1 MK2 Vermona model. Makes incredible analog sounds, kicks, snares, claps hi hats and everything in between."

History of Braintec / Touched By Sound / MAM

click cykong posted the following history of Braintec, Touched By Sound and MAM taken from the AH archives. As it originally came from the archives I decided to post it in full here as well. Be sure to check out ckong for more images and more synth content in general.

The following was posted on AH in October 2000 by Michael from Touched by Sound:

"I don't really like talking too much about the 'old' days, but also I think some things should be pointed out right, what is said about MAM and TBS.

In 1993 TBS met Stefan Schmidt. I had the idea of making a rackmount TB-303 clone and a nice rack vocoder. My partner (who had the money) founded a company called Braintec that year.

Braintec developed and manufactured the Transistorbass-3, which was a very good clone plus a lot more features. TBS distributed this product, and approx. 400 pieces were made.

I split up with my partner and so did Stefan.

20 miles from here there was a small company called MAM (Music And More) which was making little rack mixers and amps and gadgets like that. Not very well known, but cheap stuff and useful. We put Stefan together with them and they started designing a lot of products with some of our ideas and co-designs. First of all: they made a cheap version of the Transistorbass3, which was of course the MAM MB33 bass synthesizer. Then the VF11 vocoder and so on.

That year I said I would like to do distribution worldwide for the product.

Because of TBS being a retailer and shops probably would not buy from an opponent - we finally decided to call it Music And More distribution, first as a subdivision of TBS, a year later, as independent limited company. We sold more than 5000 MB33 and more than 2000 VF11 worldwide. Not bad, for a small company!

Last year my partner and one of the owners of MAM (manufacturer) didn't get on anymore so they just stopped supplying us. They had big problems with financing the production and lack of quality. Stefan was tied up for 1 year developing the SQ16 sequencer and the market was longing for new products from MAM.

We found a small company near us manufacturing tube-preamps and similar stuff. They were also analog freaks and had an much better quality production. I started designing many products with them and we badged them as MAM. At that time we mad the first run of DRM1's. I think 100 pieces came onto the market as MAM, before we split up.

We redesigned and improved the DRM1 a little and now we make it as TBS. We are currently working on the Mephisto and a Midi-Theremin. I hope I didn=B4t bore you with this excursion. Please feel free to contact me anytime should you require more information.

Best Regards
Michael
