Drum Synth Ignition by Electronicaz by Electronicaz
"An electro-esque piece created entirely using only a Dave Smith Instruments "MoPho" analogue synth & Logic sequencer. A few of Logic's own effects were added to the samples."
All of the musical parts for the backing, using 5 basic sounds per track, are from one Yamaha DX7.
"Snips from the new record by Momus & Joe Howe (Sunbutler).
Released on American Patchwork / Darla.
The Sunbutler album is a collaboration between two Scots of different generations living on different continents. Joe Howe and Momus worked together before, making the Joemus album in Berlin in 2008. Whereas Joe’s main musical project back then was the itchy, glitchy Germlin, in 2012 he composes and performs as Ben Butler & Mousepad, making an infectious hand-played funk that references Max Tundra, Herbie Hancock and YMO. Restricting himself to just five basic sounds on an old FM synth, Joe made backing tracks in his Glasgow studio which Momus in Osaka then warped into disjointed funk songs, emphasising the genre’s sleaziness in an 80s-retro way that recalls Prince at his most dirty-minded, the glittering deconstructions of Scritti Politti, and Momus albums like 1989’s Don’t Stop The Night. The results are funny, catchy, and disturbingly infectious.

Video for the Track "SRGMO" from the E.P. "a sucker for random".
"Produced analog with a synchronator, hssji, korg entrancer and an old panasonic video mixer.
All tracks are based on underlying drumtracks programmed with analog drummachines. In contrast to the drumlines, the synths are driven by numerous random voltage techniques, using a Buchla Source of Uncertainty, Serge SSGs, Ciat Lombarde gear and a Serge TKB. More randomness was created by crossmodulating sources. E.g.: The SSG used the respective drum machine noise as source for the S&H.
Tracks were not arranged, but recorded as multitrack and then mixed/muted later on an analogue desk.

"Giles Reaves: Space Music Improv on the Synapse Antidote Synthesizer. Testing my new Nikon D600, and the new Synthesizer from Synapse Audio: Antidote (for Reason 6.5). I created the patch from scratch in real time, as shown in the video. To keep in the "space music" theme, I used my night time time lapse footage from a recent trip through Southern Utah and Northern Arizona (including shots at Arcosanti, AZ)."
