The age of sadness | Sequential Prophet VS and Rhodes Piano somber improvisation w Fractal Audio FM3

video upload by MIDERA

"In the distance I saw the clouds, and with them a rainbow. It appeared so tranquil, so peaceful. And then it was gone. Just like that. Just like us.

Fractal Audio FM3 was used to loop the Prophet VS. I played on top of that with the Rhodes Piano.

No external FX used."

video upload by Play All Day

"PlayFader is made in Cyprus and I’ve just relocated back to Cyprus permanently after 30 years away. I really miss the place and I’m so happy to be home.

At the same time as arriving, the amazing @caroline_myvolts introduced me to Dim, head honcho at @synthesizergr and he wanted to stock PlayFader. This means so much to me, to have a Cypriot-made electronic music device being sold in Athens, Greece 🇨🇾❤️🇬🇷

So… PlayFader is now available in @synthesizergr

I wanted to do something special to celebrate this 🫠

I wanted to make a full length performance for Dim and celebrate the best of modern Greek dj’s and producers while showcasing PlayFader as the expressive and creative instrument that it is. Especially in one of my favourite contexts, as a live sequencer that you can use to perform while dj’ing. I’m after all more of a dj than a producer. And this is my happy place where I absolutely fucking love to use PlayFader 👊

Dim pointed me in the direction of @echonomist_music and I instantly found this track that I fell in love with. It’s about homecoming and joy… 💛

What you see in this video is only the 2nd take, totally improvising over the entirety of the track “Happiest of all memorial days”.

It would have been the 1st take but I forgot to plug the audio into the camera 😂

There are some slightly less perfect moments, but I was absolutely in my flow state and enjoyed every second of playing!
And that’s the point I wanted show. PlayFader is a live performance instrument and a wise genius synth-builder once said “instruments reward practice and perseverance”. (Vlad from Soma thank you 🙏)

Me and Jason designed PlayFader to give users lots of support and freedom - stay tightly locked into the groove and wander far away from it at any time, always with the option to come back to where you were.

There’s lots going on in this, too much to explain in detail here. It’s 7 minutes long and uses lots of features like the dual buffers, live switching, Latch play, Fun fx, ratchets etc etc.

Left channel is playing @rolandsynthandaira S-1. Right channel is playing the @intellijel Atlantix. I’m using @algoriddimofficial djay Linked to @ableton 💛

Enjoy ❤️"
