Here We Are by ThorF





"So, here we are. Me and you, together in this very moment.Thank you for reaching this point. You make it all worth while. The music on this album, was written/recorded in the last 4 years. Everything ,except mastering, was done in my home studio in LA. To sculpt the atmosphere you are listening to I used various synths and efx. All hardware. Clicks & pops, mis-timed midi messages, live mistakes and other things :) It’s all on it. For few good reasons. It’s how the hardware I own, sounds. It’s how I play my instruments, sounds. From the computer that records the audio to the end of the FX chain.

The machines have character.
I hope their character gets delivered to your ears with these recordings.

The Greatest Synth in History | T.O.N.T.O


video upload by Anthony Marinelli Music

"Dive into the revolutionary world of T.O.N.T.O, the legendary synthesizer that became synonymous with Stevie Wonder's groundbreaking music during his classic period. In this video, I explore the incredible story behind T.O.N.T.O (The Original New Timbral Orchestra), a pioneering modular synthesizer created by Malcolm Cecil and Robert Margouleff in the early 1970s.
Discover how T.O.N.T.O's vast array of analog modules and innovative design allowed Stevie Wonder to explore new sonic frontiers, shaping timeless albums like 'Innervisions,' 'Fulfillingness' First Finale,' and 'Songs in the Key of Life.' From its towering size, custom wood cabinets, to its intricate patching system, T.O.N.T.O not only expanded the palette of sounds available to musicians but also set a benchmark for electronic music production.
Through my interview with Grammy Winning Super-Producer Robert Margouleff, (T.O.N.T.O co-creator), we'll uncover its enduring impact on music production techniques and its part in shaping the evolution of synthesizers. From its role in creating iconic basslines and ethereal textures to its influence on the development of funk, soul, and electronic music genres, T.O.N.T.O remains a testament to the power of innovation in music technology.
Whether you're a die-hard Stevie Wonder fan, a synth enthusiast, or simply curious about the instruments that changed music forever, this video provides a comprehensive look at T.O.N.T.O's journey from obscurity to becoming an icon of musical innovation. Don't miss out on discovering the secrets and stories behind Stevie Wonder's magical sounds and the synthesizer that continues to inspire generations of musicians worldwide. Hit the play button and embark on a sonic adventure with T.O.N.T.O!"
