Sadly Imperfect

Published on May 31, 2013 attorks·115 videos

"Now the Cosmic Nights event is over I have more time serve you, my dear viewers. The title refers to the somewhat sad music and the imperfect meter (3-3-2) used.

The music starts with an 16-step sequence on row 1 of the Doepfer MAQ16/3 driving the Synthesizers.com Modular. After that the bass from the self-built Modular comes in driven by an 8-step sequence on row 3 of the MAQ16/3. The solo is played with a percussive organ-like sound on the Roland XP-80. Then an 8-step sequence from the Synthesizers.com Q960 driving the fabulous and very versatile Rob Hordijk OSC HRM module is introduce (never mind that I forgot to set the switches to normal :-) After that some mellow pad is introduced on the Waldorf Q Keyboard and the solo on the Minimoog Voyager comes in. The 16-step sequence is then altered to row two of the MAQ16/3 to give some variation. An odd note is played on the Clavia Nord Lead 1.

Anne used my iPhone 4 to film this video. The audio is recorded live from the stereo main mix on the Mackie Onyx 1620 firewire card using Reaper DAW.

You can download/see/hear the video and music from my website soon."

"Messing with the time delay on a Moogerfooger Cluster Flux (in Flange mode) to vary the pitch of an arpeggio coming from an Arturia Minibrute."

"Track I made last night with a Minibrute (run through a Moogerfooger pedal) and a Tetra. Everything but the drums comes from analog synths.

Video - did the best I could this afternoon with my iPhone."

Musicvideo "Akira-san" ft. JX-8P, Poly6, Kawai K3m, xOxbOx, Pearl DRX-1

Published on May 27, 2013 stereoping·21 videos

"Video for a groovy complex dancetrack i made with fruityloops. I used only analog synths here like JX8P, Poly6, xOxbOx, Kawai K3m, Z3 analogue synth (diy) and the pimped Pearl DRX1 drumsynth. Bassdrum, Clap and Anime-samples are out of the computer, the rest is pure analogue gear (the DRX-BD simply didnt fit in the mix here). I created the song also for proving thorough functionality of the diy chop-Stereodelay with midicontroled downsampler and the diy-midi-interface with TR-909 Hihat/Rim-section i made for the Pearl Drumsynth. You will encounter a lot of anime characters in the song and video. They are from a japanese television series calles "Aria - the animation" of 2005 which i quite like. I also added some synaesthetic motiongraphics and explaining text throughout the video for your better understanding which instrument is playing which sound and for some parameters that were tweaked while recording. Have fun, hope you like it :)"
