"Yes, that's what came in my mind when I was playing this track.
This track reflects my mind and my good old studio (I had a lot of technical problems with it the last few weeks). It's the last track of this year and a good reflection after 4 years YT vids. The future brings new changes and challenges.
About the track:
It started whit a Doepfer Dart Time generated sequence (Moog LP and the Waldorf micro Q), a lovely Kawai K1r flute, at ± 2:00 the strings of the Korg 03R/W, at ± 4:00 a FM.piano from the DS8, at 7:15 the MG1 Concertmate, at ± 9:00 the combinated lush sound of the Juno 106 and the 03R/W and at ± 10:00 a DS8 solo. Between are the strings of the good old Korg Lambda.
I wish everbody the best for next year, in health, friendship and family.

- VCOs are Krisp1/Oakley and SSL Double Dekas.
- Some Super Sawtor action on the Krisp1/Oakley.
- STG Soundlabs provides Sea Devils filter action.
- Dotcom Noise sources and SSL Quad LFOs provide pseudo-random waveforms into the Dotcom sample & hold and Dotcom Quantizer.
- Echo and distortion effects courtesy of the Analog Craftsman's Delay and Gristleizer modules.
- STG's Active Attenuator is a constant voltage source.
- Waveform imaging by the SSL Jones O'Tool.
Plus a smidgen of reverb courtesy of some oh-so-craptacular Alesis mixer."
"In this study the piano is prepared by inserting "m.u.s.c.l.e. men", (cool figurines from the 80's) between the strings, as well as my normal preparation for creating the low kick drum sound. To my delight others lounging around nearby inside the Piano case started leaping around due to the vibrating strings.......and luckily were captured on film by "mild eye". All live solo piano playing, no multi-tracking or looping devices allowed. Scores available on request.
Taken from a series of piano pieces exploring the notion that the traditional piano can create sounds and textures which are normally only found in dance and electronic music. Drum, percussion and bass are created by inserting various objects such as wood, metal and Blu-Tak between the strings and are played "sequencer" style in the left hand while the right adds polymetric patterns and isorhythms of varying length. No looping device is used, the idea being everything is "live" and played in real time, the piano as "modern one-man-band-electro-acoustic-orchestra"....
The piano spans the centuries, traditional technique melding with modern sound design in real time.
By adding a Moog analog delay, analog filter and playing in a strictly rhythmic, quasi mechanistic way the piano can also be transformed into a unique acoustic/electronic live "human techno sequencer" device......
Musical cybernetics, absorbing the machines "feel" that has shaped much of modern electronic music into the biological pianistic mechanism."
