Into the Breach: Synth Covers

"Into the Breach is my favorite game of 2018, with a killer soundtrack by Ben Prunty. While playing it I kept thinking... what would this music sound like on synths and drum machines?

I wanted these covers to have a distinct feel that is different from the original music. So where the game's soundtrack mostly uses string instruments and minimal percussion, I hooked up 6 synthesizers, 2 drum machines, and a sampler. For the arrangement, I went more aggressive with prominent drums and a healthy amount of distortion.

Each song was recorded in two parts: one using the instruments on the desk and one using the instruments on the stool. These were recorded multitracked and then combined in REAPER. Here's the specific gear I used:
Roland D-05
Roland TR-8
Korg Monologue
Korg Minilogue
Korg Volca Drum
Korg Volca Modular
Korg Volca Keys
Korg Volca Bass
Korg Volca Sample
Korg Volca Mix

"This is just a little single-take 'live' techno jam featuring the MS-20 on bass-ish, the Arturia Solina V and some Moogerfoogers processing the MS-20. The MS-20 is being sequenced by the Korg SQ-1 which is synced to Ableton. The drums come from Ableton Live."

"Exhibition Concept

Yamaha Design Laboratory makes a return to Milan Design Week—one of the world’s largest design-related events—for the first time in 11 years. The Laboratory’s exhibition, titled pulse, will feature four sound-related installations that highlight the pleasure found within complex mental and physical states.

For four years, from 2005 to 2008, Yamaha Design Laboratory presented designs showcasing the Yamaha world view at Milan Design Week. Directly experiencing the responses of attendees from around the world helped the Laboratory to further develop its design philosophy and more clearly define the identity of Yamaha design. Now, for the first time in 11 years, the Laboratory will once again participate in the event, exhibiting four new designs that showcase Yamaha’s world view.

For the theme of the exhibition, the Laboratory chose pulse, a word that expresses the beating of the heart, the rush of excitement, and by extension our emotions. Through its design of musical instruments and more, Yamaha has made an impact on the pulse of its customers by offering a richness that is complex and full of contradictions: the differing perspectives of the players and the audience, the difficulty and enjoyment that come with practice, or the feeling of oneness with one’s instrument when absorbed in a performance.
Further refining the appeal to the pulse of the performers, creators and listeners, this exhibition will feature four designs that each offer an experience that is uniquely captivating. These experiences will make the heart race by highlighting the pleasure found within complex mental and physical states for which a word as simple as "emotions" falls short."

"Pianissimo Fortissimo

Pianissimo Fortissimo is a wall-mounted piece that can be played like a musical instrument. Standing in front of a large painting sometimes inspires the feeling of being part of the world it depicts… what would it be like to be able to interact with that world?
If you could create real-life musical performances while immersed in this pictorial world, perhaps you might feel a deeper emotional connection to it…
