"I went to pull out my Korg ESX-1... and well... it's dead. Took it to a tech who also said it's dead. I'm going to try one more thing to see if I can get it working... we'll see. For now, I've thrown my Korg EMX-1 into the foray for drums since it can do mostly the same things. However, I forgot that the drum parts can't go through the filters. That's so dumb. What was Korg thinking? Makes no sense. Oh well. That's what I've got. I'd have actually expanded this track but couldn't because the next pattern in the EMX was something I didn't want to lose, so I just stuck to this one.

Elektron Analog Keys: Melody, Bass, etc
Korg EMX-1SD: Drums

"Here's a new track. I wanted to bring the Tempest back in and use it again... but almost everything about it is just difficult to use... I tried to sequence the beats, but the OS would freeze when doing it that way, so I had to opt to manually change beats. Using the external sequencer kind of ruins half the fun of the Tempest, so I chose to do it all in the box, and it's great for that... but it's extremely hard to put a track together using the Tempest.

Gear used:
Cirklon 2 sequencer
DSI Tempest (drums)
Moog Minimoog (bass)
Roland SH-101 (Bass)
Sequential OB-6 (arp)
Roland JD-990 (initial melodic pad)
Oberheim Matrix 1000 (later pad sound)
Prophet 10 (secondary melody halfway through track)
NI Raum (Reverb)
DAW: Reaper

"I cannot describe the anger I've felt, my community has felt at the loss of another innocent citizen today in my city. Absolutely sickening. And that's on top of children and so many others who have been kidnapped and taken simply for being here trying to survive. I'm so proud of the people of Minneapolis, many of whom are far stronger and courageous than I am.

Please consider donating to the gofundme for Alex Pretti. I have created a fundraiser as well (link on right on YT) - if you feel like doing anything, they are a great place to start. Or go to Stand with MN (https://www.standwithminnesota.com/) and support a local charity/fundraiser. There are many great places to show support and help."

"Terrible things are happening outside. Poor helpless people are being dragged out of their homes. Families are torn apart. Men, women, and children are separated. Children come home from school to find that their parents have disappeared."

"Two years ago today, I lost my mom... Often I write tracks as tributes, remembering the end - which was really a horrible experience.

But I know what matters isn't what happened at the end, but really I should take the time to celebrate what she gave me: my life, my family, my experiences, my abilities. Her and my dad are the reason I have any of this and can write anything at all. So, I'll just say that I'm thankful to both of them. That's what this day can become, a reminder of what I've been given.

Track:
Sequentix Cirklon 2 sequenced everything.
Sequential Prophet 10 for initial sound
Moog Minimoog for bass
Roland System-8 for pads
Roland JD-990 for plucked sounds
Elektron Machinedrum for drums

"Two years ago I was playing with my kids with a little yamaha piano, the christmas tree lit, we were looking forward to a relaxing and fun holiday... but that's when my mom called me and asked, "Did you mean what you said? Would you really be willing to come down to be with me?" She was so scared. I dropped everything and drove down (about 1.5 hr drive) to be with her. I'll never forget the look on her face - panic, fear, anguish... I don't know how to describe the look, but it was painful to see. I gave her a big hug as she cried. Looking back, I think she knew it was time, I think she knew her body was failing and was failing fast. I was determined to stay positive, but I watched her move. The exhaustion after only a few steps. I'm glad I didn't realize that it would be only 4 more days before I would lose her forever......."
