Sequential Artist Spotlight: Jameson Nathan Jones

video by Sequential

"Jameson Nathan Jones is a classically trained pianist, organist, and composer from Mississippi whose interest in modern electronics and sound design has led to a unique musical language all his own. Blending elements of modern classical and ambient music with the grittier analog textures often associated with Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross, Jameson has created a sound that ranges from intimate and minimal to cinematic and raw.

Jameson's solo work has led to a number of film scoring opportunities, and his ever expanding sound palette ensures an evolving journey for the listener, though still rooted in his own musical language and style. This year has seen the release of his electronic/ambient LP, Signals, a collaboration with the popular YouTube explorers The Proper People. Jameson has also released a number of reworks, collaborations, and singles as he puts the finishing touches on a new album to be released in 2021.

This video spotlight features Jameson with the Prophet Rev2 and Pro 3 synthesizers.

Distractions // Sequential Prophet 6 Ambient

video upload by Jameson Nathan Jones

"Finally picked up one of my dream synths. I've always loved the sound of the Prophet 6, but have avoided it because it seemed limited in terms of modulation capabilities. While that is true, the thing absolutely oozes character, and sometimes limitations can lead to interesting places.

Running it parallel through my eurorack for some extra movement/crunch here, but the synth itself just sounds so good!"

Polybrute has a bonus LFO (shhhh)

"The Arturia Polybrute has an extra LFO....and it turns out it was inside of you all along. Ok, maybe it was inside the mod matrix instead."

Mass Effect - Uncharted Worlds [Analog Synth Cover] // Prophet 6, Octatrack, Fender Rhodes

video upload by Jameson Nathan Jones

"Sometimes you just have to do a cover of map music from one of your favorite games. 'Uncharted Worlds' from Mass Effect - composed by Sam Hulick

The Elektron Octatrack is sequencing 4 voices of the Sequential Prophet 6, and playing one chopped rhythmic sample. The Fender Rhodes (through the Gamechanger Audio Light Pedal) provides an improvisation on the main melody."

Playing a PIPE ORGAN through an ANALOG SYNTH (Moog Matriarch)

video upload by Jameson Nathan Jones

"Ever wondered what a MASSIVE pipe organ would sound like running through the signal path of an analog synthesizer? Me too! Is this what @Moog Music Inc had in mind when they put an "instrument in" on the Moog Matriarch? I think so too.

"After owning both the Sequential Prophet 6 and the Prophet Rev2 for quite a while, I decided to answer a question I've gotten quite a few times: "why do you have two Dave Smith Polysynths?" I'm sure no one will have strong opinions about which synth they prefer....

Can you make a track from ONE SYNTH PATCH? [Sequential Pro 3]

video upload by Jameson Nathan Jones

"How an accident with my Sequential Pro 3 became my track, 'Roots.' Today we'll reverse engineer the patch, and figure out how to make a Pro 3 drone and arp at the same time (it isn't even a paraphonic patch)."

Iridium with Analog Distortion sounds nice

video upload by Jameson Nathan Jones

"The Waldorf Iridium is a personal favorite. Sometimes it sounds very digital (because it's very digital). Sometimes I like to obliterate its digitality through the Elektron Analog Heat.... Full video of how it was done here:"



Analog Heat: Elektron's most MISUNDERSTOOD box


"The Elektron Analog Heat has been called an overpriced distortion box, but I really think it's so much more than that. There are a ton of tools for sound design tucked away under the hood, and today we're going to dive in and see what we can do with them.

This track is FREE on Bandcamp, though a Bandcamp follow would be swell of you :) https://jamesonnathanjones.bandcamp.c...
