Oberheim Xpander first encounter

video upload by MIDERA

"It is not my best work... but I wanted to put something up. Today, I traded some gear and ended up with an Xpander. It's pretty crazy what it can do. However, I'm not particularly enjoying editing from a distance, since the 'desktop' nature of the Xpander is such that it can't actually sit on any of my synths. It's literally bigger than my OB-6.

But it's got a very unique sound. Hopefully after I take some time I can really dig into the parameters of the instrument (and find a better way to edit it while playing).

How Vince Clarke Made “Don’t Go” | Yazoo Synthpop Breakdown

video upload by Nostalgic Explorer

"What makes 'Don’t Go' by Yazoo one of the most iconic synthpop tracks of the 1980s?

In this video, I explore how Vince Clarke shaped the sound of early electronic music through his work with Yazoo, and how his minimalist but powerful approach to synthesizers helped define an entire genre. After leaving Depeche Mode, Clarke refined his production style — focusing on strong melodies, tight sequencing, and bold synth sounds — and “Don’t Go” is one of the best examples of that evolution.

Before diving into the recreation, I share a bit of context around Yazoo and why this track became so influential across synthpop and electronic music.

Then I take you into the studio.

Step by step, I recreate the track using a combination of vintage hardware and modern tools inside Logic Pro. For this version I used:

• Sequential Circuits Pro-One – basslines and lead elements
• Sequential Drumtraks – drum programming
• Logic Pro VST instruments – additional textures and supporting sounds

I walk through the recording process, sequencing, arrangement, and showing how each layer comes together to recreate the energy of the original track.

It is interesting to understand how Vince Clarke’s production approach continues to influence modern electronic music, from synthpop to contemporary electronic genres."

Playing Without a Map / Cyma Forma ALT

video upload by OoraMusic

"A performance and reflection on what it means to truly play.
In a world of presets, screens, and precision, this is an exploration of something more fragile — and more human.
Using the Cyma Forma ALT, a 5-voice analog instrument designed for improvisation, I move between structure and freedom, control and surrender.
This is not about building a track.
It’s about being present while sound unfolds.
Improvisation becomes a practice —
of listening, reacting, and letting go of the need to know where you’re going.
No presets. No fixed outcomes.
Just gesture, attention, and the moment."
