Making Of an electronic album (Arcade)

Published on Aug 10, 2016 Tentacles

"In Making Of an electronic album (Arcade) we explain how Arcade was created. We detail not only the gear used but also the composition method and the recording process of the synths, samplers, voices, bass and drums.
We heavily use Elektron gear: Octatrack and Analog Keys, but also a little Casio VL-1 in a few tracks.
We also talk about why we use Creative Commons licenses to promote the copy and sharing of our music.

We released Arcade just 1 month ago, and described the music of the album as "Pixelated music that will make you sail de universe of videogames and science fiction."

Here you can stream and free download Arcade:

Identified with the DoItYourself subculture, we also offer the individual stems of Arcade free download, so everybody can use them as they like in remixes and songs.

And this is the single we released with the album:

Middle Eastern "moog" DIY Synthesizer

According to the listing: "1978 Moog Synthesizer, Analog Keyboard, Wood Synth Box, Rare, Retro, Vintage, Antique. One of the first synthesizers Moog company, in good condition, at the level of museums collectibles as well as Collectors... We send the product from Israel in the Middle East."

Not one of the first if it's from 1978. It's likely not from 1978 either. Note what appears to be MIDI jacks on the side. MIDI didn't arrive until 1983. The moog logo is wrong as well of course. I'm guessing this is just someone's DIY project. If anyone knows more about it, let us know.

Update via the comments: "I don't know what standard was being used in Israel at the time but the din jacks could be for audio input and output like those that were used in the ussr (maybe two outputs at different levels?). We really need someone who can read the script. Definitely not moog though."
