Lyrics via the khoral blog:


In the clockwork city they all look the same
Everybody’s working and nobody knows your name
In the clockwork city they all look the same
Everybody’s working and nobody knows your name

In the clockwork city there’s no hope in vain
The heart of the wise in the house of mourning
In the clockwork city there’s no hope in vain
Everybody’s working and nobody knows your name

It’s a room full of toys and nothing’s for real
It’s a desolate place you can never leave
In the clockwork city you’ve nothing left to hide
In the clockwork city where things never die

In the clockwork city you know the game is fixed
How much you lose and how small you gain
All summer long I’ve been wasting my sorrow
All summer long broken and forlorn

The Rise of the Synths (80s retro music documentary)

Currently seeking funding on Kickstarter here.

"A documentary about the synthwave scene, 80s nostalgia, retromania & memories. Inspired in Carpenter, Moroder & Tangerine Dream legacy.

Feature documentary (90-120 min.) about the synthwave scene, 80s nostalgia, audiovisual collective memories and electronic music.

The natural way of the cultural wave: we generally experience that musical and cultural trends shift from an outstanding position within public opinion to near utter rejection, refusal and ridicule, through an ever-shortening period of time. However, if that period of time is extended, to often several decades, we can witness a renovation, a new heightened recognition – the rebirth of the wave. Through today’s global reach, powered by the internet, cultural waves and fascinations can resurface and manifest themselves, with an even much bigger fan impact than the original source.

The film is a travel in time towards the roots of a worldwide grass-root music scene known as Synthwave, an irresistible blend of modern electronic composition with 80s pop culture’s nostalgia, that over the last two years has transformed from a whisper on selected internet hubs, to an ever-growing scene, expanding rapidly as we speak. Accounting millions of plays on social media, devoted fans are legion, but nobody in the mass media knows about them.

Thousands of synthwave composers around the world are living out double-lives. Away from their normal everyday life they spend another half-life behind a faceless musical avatar, creating and uploading their own renditions of 80’s-styled film scores, sharing them with the world – surging the wave. They belong to an endless army of watchers for the master’s legacy: the sound that Edgar Froese, Giorgio Moroder and John Carpenter created in the late 70s.

A time travel into the universe of creating sounds. A love letter to human fascination and the collective memories of an universe that never existed."

The Bizarre Double Stylophone Nobody Wanted | Stylophone 350S

video upload by Simon The Magpie

"Double stylus and 6x the size, packed with tons of features that nobody asked for! The Stylophones original success led to this monster and I totally love how silly it is in every possible way! Honestly a really cool synth for the 1970s though right?"

Nobody's Diary - Yazoo Cover - feat. Marie Haddad & Casio MT-400V

YouTube via peahix

"This is a cover of the Yazoo song "Nobody's Diary." Marie Haddad did the singing, I did the music/production. This was largely an experiment to see what could be done with an old Casio MT-400V, which was used for all the sounds in the backing track. The video consists of a slow pan across the Casio's control panel. This MT-400V has a nice resonant analog filter, which was used heavily here. Some other effects were used on the Casio sounds, most notably a pitch shifter on the bass, to get it down an octave lower.

"Nobody likes menu-diving, right? This is an add-on for MIDISID which gives you physical controls (analogue pots and sliders plus prophet-style buttons) for most of MIDISID's functionality.
This is an expensive thing to build, and I don't know how many to plan to make. Therefore, I'll be running a 'threshold pre-order campaign' over the next couple of weeks.

Lustobjekt "La Salle Blanche" Record Session

----------------------------------------­------------------------------------


"Back in 1994, Carlos Perón created the 40-minute soundtrack "La Salle Blanche" to "The White Room", a fetish film that achieved wide acclaim in the gothic, fetish and dark wave scene.

The music, which seemed to have immense magic power, was even played at high-end erotic establishments and fetish/BDSM studios. The piece quickly turned from being an insiders' tip to a classic. Rumor has it that some ardent fans even conceived their children to "La Salle Blanche".
Now, 20 years later, the German art project "Lustobjekt" have picked up Perón's original composition.
For more than two years they worked on a completely new version of the classic:
"We had to be very careful transferring the spirit and the magic of the original so it was quite a challenge. Just one mistake and all our efforts would have been a complete waste of time. Nobody could tell us if this experiment would actually work out."

"Lustobjekt" are no strangers to the scene. The art project was founded in Hamburg in 2006 by Cornelius Ohm. Since then they have published original compositions and remixes at irregular intervals. "Lustobjekt" sound like a highly seductive variant of electro pop, based on classical songwriting and somewhat influenced by Kraftwerk, Yello and Donna Summer.

At the mysterious "Hell" studios "Lustobjekt" experiment with special custom-made instruments on new exciting sounds and songs or completely crazy ideas.
Carlos Perón: "Nobody knew what they were up to at that studio. But when I heard their first
sounds I was so excited that I let them have my original files."
Mystical Gregorian chants take their listeners on a journey entering a realm of unfathomable basses, soft synthesizer melodies and lascivious French lyrics sung by a mysterious beauty -- pure, light, almost clinical sounding.

Pain, punishment and domination -- striking words whispered and accentuated by taylor-made percussion instruments. With whips and timpani they guide their listeners through the music while offering comforting safety.

So are you weak or can you resist the magic?

Kraftwerk 'The Robots' (Ed Zuccollo talkbox cover)

Published on Dec 23, 2016 Ed Zuccollo

"Talkbox cover of The Robots by Kraftwerk.
Music video production, props, costumes, filming and editing done by the wonderful folks at Renegade Peach Project. All props and shots made in one day.
All synths (Minimoog, MS-20), talkbox, drum programming, production, mixing and mastering by Ed Zuccollo 2014.
www.edzuccollo.com

And what you are hearing:

"The Minimoog is the acid bass (I chopped each note manually to get it techno-tight), the lead motif, all the pads EXCEPT the robot speak breakdowns (Ja tvoi sluga, Ja tvoi Rabotnik robotnik) where all the synth sounds are made with the MS-20. Also the long bass in the last section (nobody owns me, nobody sells me) is MS-20. I use the MS-20 for the talkbox, because it has a high pass filter which allows me to clear up the tone of the talkbox a lot, removing frequencies that can't be reproduced by the driver in it anyway."

PinkPantheress vs Underworld (Circuit Tracks Mashup Remix)

video upload by Guinan

"Time for a bonus extra upload. The remix nobody asked for! (I dropped enough hints but nobody took the bait). I couldn't resist doing a version of this song that brought the Underworld version of 'Dark&Long (Dark Train)' with PinkPantheress' 'Illegal'.

Hopefully all previous glitches with the music are sorted and you can enjoy this version. It was programmed and played on just a single Novation Circuit Tracks. If you'd like more details as to how the track was put together check out the videos for the two component parts,"

Moog Sound Lab | Deltron 3030 | Nobody Can

Published on Nov 26, 2014 Moog Music Inc

"Alternative hip-hop supergroup Deltron 3030 came into the Moog Sound Lab to re-imagine their song “Nobody Can” off of their 2013 album Event 2.

Del The Funky Homosapien runs his vocals through an MF-104M Analog Delay to add a warm slapback echo to the track. Kid Koala uses a Minifooger MF-Delay to effect his unique style of turntablism, while Dan The Automator commands a Minimoog Voyager XL. From the 3030 Orchestra, Takahiro Tozawa saturates his guitar tone with a Minifooger MF-Drive, bassist Juan Alderete fills out the bottom end with a MF-101 Low Pass Filter and Alex Swain triggers percussive accents from a rack of Minimoog Voyager RMEs.

The Drum Machine That Was Too Big to Handle | Oberheim Stretch DX

video upload by Nostalgic Explorer

"There's a drum machine from 1983 that was intended to sound like a real drum similar to the Linndum — rolls, flams, off-the-beat feel. But the real story is bolted to its side, and most people have never seen one.

The Oberheim Stretch DX is the machine almost nobody talks about — the expansion that turned a 6-voice box into something else entirely. Here's how it happened, and what it can still do.

⏱️ CHAPTERS
00:00 — The drum machine that didn't want to be a machine
00:38 — Oberheim DMX: the little brother that came first
01:20 — 18 sounds, EPROM cards & the idea that predicted sample packs
02:00 — Inside the DX: sequences, quantize & the swing mode
02:40 — Rear-panel tuning & individual outputs (why 6 voices matters)
03:10 — The Stretch DX: the bolt-on nobody expected
03:40 — Installing a Stretch: soldering irons & ribbon cables
04:00 — Why the DX & Stretch DX faded — and what they left behind
04:20 — Let's make some beats
