Rephazer - Earth Changes (Live Jam with Elektron Octatrack, Rytm, Analog Four)

Published on May 4, 2016 Rephazer

"Hi all, this is my first effort with the Elektron 'Dark Trinity' in a music (jungle/breakbeat) style I also haven't done before.. Anyway, I hope you'll enjoy it!

I finally took a vacation and we have everything planned on going to a nice 'sunny' place in Spain next week.. unfortunately the weather forecast is extremely bad there and here in Holland there is a heatwave coming while we are away.. How ironic... Earth Changes.

The background video is a compilation of various extreme weather clips from the past couple of months taken from Sott.net.

Gear used:

Octatrack - masterclock, FX, additional bass/breakbeat and granular pads, piano (V-machine sampled from tape) thru machines for Rytm and A4.

Analog Four - Bassline, Synthpads/bleeps and bloops.

Analog Rytm - Beat, Bass/Synth bleeps and bloops.

Thanks for watching/listening and feel free to leave comments."
