"We live and breathe synthesizer, and there's not enough nice synthesizer related art to hang onyour wall. That's what we thought, and we were delighted and proud that Japanese artist HR-FM wanted to do not only one, but TWO original pieces for Analog Sweden! Together with the art we release a free track that goes with the theme.

AS001 DX FUTURISM - by HR-FM
Limited print, 250 copies
Size 42x56 cm, 250 gr printed on semi matte paper
The Yamaha DX7 killed the whole analog synthesizer market when it was introduced. The analog companies tried to fight the digital Godzilla, but failed like doomed dinosaurs. World dominance was inevitable with its low price and supreme stability and over 160.000 machines sold. But, itfelt like something was lost - the soul had vanished and was replaced
by digital perfection.
AS002 Analog Waveforms Strikes Back - by HR-FM
Limited print, 250 copies

Analog fights back. The Soul in the machine returns.

Free track: DX Futurism - Adagio for Memorymoog
One of the victims of the DX7's success was the Moog Memorymoog - which was the last product Moog released before going bankrupt. Luckily for us all Moog Inc is now a resurrected company.
We found it fitting to use the Memorymoog to perform one of the saddest pieces written; Samuel Barber's "Adagio for strings" op.11, but with a twist. You might recognize the music which has been used in many movies, with Platoon by Oliver Stone probably being the most famous.
The end sample is from Tokyo the 11th of march 2011, the day of the horrible tsunami hitting Japan. The public speaker system is trying to calm the worried city.
