From Korg M1 to Roland SH-4d: Reimagining a 1991 Track

video upload by Malvinus Music

"Reimagining 'Verso Dove': A Journey from 1991 to 2023

In 1991, I composed the track Verso Dove using my brand-new Korg M1, excited by the possibilities of its 8-track sequencer. Fast forward to 2023, and I decided to breathe new life into this song with the Roland SH-4d, completely rearranging and reinterpreting it.

Verso Dove, which means 'toward where', reflects an existential question I asked myself as a kid: What would I become? What did I want to be? The fear of the unknown, the uncertainty of the future—it all lived within this track. That’s why I chose it to be part of my record Synthetic Horizons For Dreamers (SH-4d). It connects me to my younger self, and through music, I want to reassure him: you will make it.

Come along for the journey—this is going to be fun. Peace! 🎶✨

🔊 Gear Used in This Performance:
✅ Korg M1 – bringing the original 1991 composition to life with its classic 8-track sequencer
✅ Roland SH-4d – reimagining and modernizing the track with a fresh arrangement in 2023

"Listening to Stephan Ho's demo of the Roland Juno X I wondered if I would be able to do the same song with my own instruments. Syntakt, Take 5 and Lead A1 proved to be perfectly up to par, don't you think?"
