Prophet X Showcase With J3P0

Playlist:

1. Prophet X Showcase With J3P0 - Les

“Les” — Progressive Soul. This is a mellow and melodic groove built around the warm textures of Prophet X electric piano, tasty B3-style organ, a lush synth pad, and punchy synth brass.

It’s no secret that the Prophet X is Sequential’s most ground-breaking evolution of the Prophet yet. With an ultra-powerful synergy of two simultaneous 16-bit, 48kHz sample-based instruments plus two high-resolution digital oscillators — all processed through analog filters — it covers a vast expanse of sonic and stylistic territory.

To test the limits of what the P-X could do in the hands of one of our most talented artist friends, we asked keyboardist/composer/producer J3PO (Julian Pollack) to stretch it in every direction possible. He responded by unleashing his creativity on five original short pieces, inspired and created entirely by the Prophet X.

We share them with you here — proof that the Prophet X can take you anywhere.

2. Prophet X Showcase With J3P0 - Tribal Feud

'Tribal Feud' — Cinematic. Equal parts tension and release, this piece is a mini master class in film scoring. It features breathy Prophet X choirs, orchestral-style percussion, sparkling acoustic guitars, and silky synth strings.

3. Prophet X Showcase With J3P0 - Home With You

“Home With You” — Americana. The spotlight here is on an expressive, crystalline solo acoustic guitar, complete with hammer-ons and subtle, slide-type embellishments. This is the Prophet X at its most expressive, with its tonal richness and nuance on full display.

4. Prophet X Showcase With J3P0 - Neon Skies

“Neon Skies” — Synthwave. With a moody 80’s-style cinematic vibe, this piece showcases powerful Prophet X drums, thick synth bass, a swirling synth pad, and an anthemic synth lead.

5. Prophet X Showcase With J3P0 - Thunder

“Thunder” — Experimental Trap. A moody showcase of synth build-ups and breakdowns. On display here are sizzling Prophet X electronic drums, tuned percussion, atmospheric pads, and soaring synth leads.

Sequential Artist Spotlight: Corbu

video upload by Sequential

"Corbu is the music and visual art made by a grown-up choirboy-turned-psychonaut, and a hairstylist/lyricist who had barely touched an instrument until she was playing on a Jumbotron at Austin City Limits. Jonathan Graves and Amanda create dirty, electronic dreampop as a kind of medicine, trying to lure their audience deeper into their own subconscious while giving them something to sing along to. Jonathan has written a number of Corbu songs in his dreams, and Amanda contributes real-world, "non-musical" samples and textures that push and pull against the pop song format, as they occasionally dive off a cliff together into a pool of abstraction and ambient noise. Corbu has toured with Bloc Party, performed with Goldfrapp, played at Austin City Limits and Electric Forest festivals, and finished their debut album Crayon Soul with Dave Fridmann (Tame Impala, MGMT, The Flaming Lips). Their Lost & Found EP, featuring a collaboration with Jimi Goodwin of the band Doves, is out now.

This video spotlight features Jonathan Graves of Corbu and the Mopho x4.

Sequential Artist Spotlight Interview with DELAURENTIS

You can find the interview on Sequential's website here.

"Musician, producer, composer, writer, and singer – DeLaurentis is one and more. It’s the story of a French little girl who would watch her dad playing music, and quickly understood that musical notes could spring up and fly away from her arms, her hands, her fingers. The music was a part of her. With this revelation, the sky opened up to her. After several years spent at the Conservatory she became a self-taught producer, and discovered the world of computer music influenced by Laurie Anderson, one of the first women to pioneer electronic music. DeLaurentis settled in Paris in 2015, and released her first two EPs. She started to get noticed then, with her unique universe and music videos. Her new album “UNICA” is due to release on September 3rd, 2021. We chatted with DeLaurentis on how she uses the Prophet Rev2 in her music."
