Hey there everyone!

Continuing my plans for 2020 and 2021 and the writing my new album, with this i will be posting template jam sessions to YouTube from which I will base and recreate the final tracks. These jam sessions are in no way finalised tracks, but you will be able to hear the main ideas before i start fine tuning the details.

If you join my patreon there will be behind the scenes materials, bonus tracks, stems, sound packs from these sessions and also a possibility to remix the future shortlist single for my release. You will be able to follow the creation of the entire album from idea to final product.

Track info:

Session 04 is a 118bpm break beat style track, this as I wanted to get away from the four on the floor spell. I spent a lot of time randomizing sequences and patterns, modulating stuff in the eurorack with Pam´s and Planar2, e.g Braids, BIA, Plonk, Furthrrrr, white noise from 1U noise tools and the 3xVCO chords so this tune almost plays itself. This was great for the jam which allowed the tune to breathe in-between sections just keeping the groove going while planning the next part.

I am also with this track breaking free from a writers block which has kept me from making any new stuff for the upcoming album for a couple of weeks... yeah, im free.. for now :)

Have a listen and join me on the ride! :) cheers!

Switched On Austin - Synth studio & store tour | Austin, TX

https://www.switchedonaustin.com

A synth studio and store tour of Switched-On in Austin, Texas -- including the Switched On synthesizer showroom, walk-through of the Switched On synth store and brief highlight of the synthesizer repair area.

During a trip to Austin in early 2020 I had a chance to revisit the Switched On synth shop I first toured in 2018 [video bellow]. Switched On have since moved from their original location to a new spot and are under new ownership, so it was a great opportunity to see the new synth store.

This synth studio and store walkthrough showcases Switched On's extensive record collection, tape machines, various synthesizers, modular gear, classic vintage synths, rack units and more. To learn more about Switched On, visit https://www.switchedonaustin.com

Track info:

95 bpm slow and dreamy, this one took a while to put together.. most probably due to struggling with similar melodies and vibes from the other two previous sessions. Big thanks to my patrons for pointing that out so i know what to fix. I think that this will have some significant changes for the final version of the track.. and when multitracking it I will most probably change the intro section a bit plus also ensure it builds up in a more cohesive way.

AKAI force, as usual is handling the main drums, sequencing the sub37, monologue, ASM hydrasynth and the volca bass. TR 707 adds some simpler hihats, digitakt adds some extra percussion. Digitone, Peak, Analog Four are not in use.

The ms-20 starts the track off, paired with a long wobbly delay in the el Capistan. At the 3.30 mark i play the dreadbox erebus from the force pads.. a bit tricky but it worked ok. I think the melody will change a bit too, esp phrasing.

Modular does some nice percussion with the BIA, sort of a bass style sound + a pretty weird sequence with the Braids. :)

Enjoy!

Track info:

108 bpm downbeat with light shuffle, focus on a longer buildup for a possible intro section. I might split this into two separate track for the future final recording to make things a bit simpler.

AKAI force is handling drums and sequencing the peak chords, monologue, erebus III and also the main low end bass from the volca. Additional percussion from the TR707, digitakt and the digitone.

First intro melody is on the ms-20, sub37 and ASM in combo does the second one.

Modular does the main intro sequence, 3x doepfer uPVCOs in a triad chord with the help from O_C hemisphere app, also some randomised melodies in the intro to build atmosphere sequenced by the eloquencer, using the classic rings into clouds combo. :)

Enjoy!

Track info:

So a new big item enters the studio, AKAI force. Main use case for this is to sequence some of my gear, such as the Novation peak plus serve as mixer/FX unit for my volcas. Also adding to this obviously it is filled with a lot of goodies and music production stuff to help move the BURG style into more complex chord progressions and layers of my musical making.

This is a first attempt, maybe not really 100% BURG style.. but it does indeed showcase the possibilities using the force in my workflow. All in all I have a good feeling about this purchase.

I hope you will enjoy it !

Gear used:
- AKAI force ( main drums, lo end bass, arps, vocal samples, mixer for my volcas )
- Sub37, lead sound, Strymon timeline and blue sky
- KORG volca keys and bass

Track info:

I have been away from my gear for a long long time, I am still working on getting back into the game. When I am lacking inspiration I always try and break things down into lesser components.. like on this jam where i just use the Digitakt and the two volcas.

I didn't want to make percussion on the digitakt, the idea on this one is to try and explore how it can be used as a synth while jamming on the volcas. I am playing the bass sound + some simple stabs and sequence style sounds on it. Pretty fun setup, and really nice compact workflow .. eg easy to reach between the volcas and the digitakt controls.

Also, there are some errors in the track, but i decided to keep the song as is.. even though i had takes with no errors this one had the best overall feeling to it. It is live, straight to 2 track as usual :)

Gear used:

- Elektron Digitakt
- Elektron Digitone ( no sounds used, FX + sequencer for the volca bass )
- KORG volca keys + Zoom ms-70 CDR ( ICE delay and particle reverb )
- KORG volca bass + FX delay/reverb from the digitone
- Zoom H5 recorder

"late night synthesizers in my pjs. started as an exercise in nice consonant chord structures that i somehow ended up making half time but at a zany bpm, so thats why the lights on the elektron machines are going nuts.

eurorack isnt doing much, just doubling a couple sequences here and there with some additional stuff. octatrack is sequencing everything and providing drums and effect splashes. digitone is keys and some odd noises in the middle. analog four is pads and bass."
