Krzysztof Antkowiak records the Yamaha GX-1 Pt 1

Krzysztof Antkowiak records the Yamaha GX-1 Pt 2

YouTube via RothHandle.
"I am currently producing the thirs album of the polish artist Krzysztof Antkowiak and today we started working on song number seven for the album. It turned out to be a slightly dancey track with drummachines, VP-330+, synkits and other nonsense...

Well anyway I had a feeling that one of the Yamaha GX-1 sounds just might fit the track. The sound you can hear is coming from the two massive tone cabinets left and right of the three manual keyboard.

This Yamaha GX-1 belongs to Benny Andersson of ABBA and used to be located at the Polar studio. Now it is at Roth Händle studios. It is the same machine John Paul Jones of Led Zeppelin used on In through the outdoor.

If you are interested in similar artefacts the Roth Händle studio might be of interest...So please consider us for your next recording project, wedding or funural.

"Music: DX5. Lyrics: Luckyboy (from www.dmforever.tk)

Yes. Notice that I DON'T SING. It is a pre recorded voice. Some mistakes due to the set configuration (the Roland should be below the Emax, not in L configuration).

Played over a backtape recorded by myself. Top: Emu Emax. Right hand: Roland JX8P.

Backtape recording was also done with a Yamaha DX7 and DX7IIFD, Roland D10, Reason."

JMJ Faux Pas

Some of you might have known that in this Sunday's UK Newspaper 'The Mail On Sunday' Jean Michel Jarre's Oxygene was given out for free with the price of the paper. Apparently the liner notes are as follows:

"Original score re-recorded (sic) and mixed by Jean Michel Jarre at JMJ Studio in High Definition 24 bits/96KHZ. "This album is dedicated to the following people without whom OXYGENE would never have existed: Pierre Schaeffer, who taught me everything in electro- acoustic and electronic music, Peter Zinovieff, who conceived the first European synthesizer and my first one, the VCS3, the Dutch company, Eminent, who built the fantastic string ensemble Eminent 310, Alan R. Pearlman, who created the ARP 2600 and 2500, Les Bradley, who developed the Mellotron, Ikutaro Kakehashi, founder of Roland , who gave us the Minipop (sic) and so many other marvels, Mike Matthews, who imagined these crazy pedals such as the Small Stone and the Electric Mistress, and my friend Robert Moog for obvious reasons."

Yep... That would be KORG that brought us the Minipops. If anyone can confirm this please do. This one via Benjamin Ward on the AH list.

NAMM 2008: Tara Busch / AnalogSuicide.com asks - Is there New Vox Continental?"

THANK YOU TARA!!! That was awesome! :) Totally unexpected. If you all remember, in this post, I mentioned there would be a little something from MATRIXSYNTH at the Analogue Haven booth. It was the MATRIXSYNTH business cards you see at the beginning of this video. They will be handing them out at NAMM and later at their store so if you want one be sure to drop by either.
