Taiko Jam - A Multitude Of One

Video available here: https://youtu.be/4rewbFTLYmg
Here is a taster of the next album Oliver Papke and Colin Powell to be published in 2022!
Look forward to another album of wonderful piano and epic cinematic orchestral soundscapes and maybe some surprises!
As usual, Oliver supplied beautiful piano chord and a lovely melody to which I added an arrangement containing a mix of synthesised and sampled instruments. We hope you enjoy it and that it inspires you to be the best you can be.
We wish you are very Merry Christmas and a fantastic 2022!
Oliver and Colin.

The Land Of Ice And Snow - Oliver Papke And Colin Powell

A Fond Farewell (Vangelis Tribute)

Depeche Mode were such a big influence on my early synth music. So sad to hear that founder member Andy "Fletch" Fletcher has passed away at only 60 years old.
Here is my tribute using SynthMaster Player recorded in Enso, Digistix 2 and SynthMaster 2

Dreaming Of A New Life - Andy Fletcher Tribute

Here is my contribution to World Drone Day!
Drones are provided by Mononoke (through Velvet Machine) and AutoPad. The melody is Geoshred's GeoFlute through FAC Alteza.
It has a distinctly Middle Eastern vibe - hence the title.
Hope you like it!

Desert Drone

We have lost yet another synth pioneer but this time a founding father of synth technology, Dave Smith. Maybe not a familiar name to many but without his developments, including the "Musical Instrument Digital Interface" (MIDI),  electronic music would have been very different today and nowhere near as popular.
Here is my tribute, using MIDI and various synths, on my iPad.

Sequential Circuit

No Surprises by Radiohead is such a lovely tune although the lyrics are pretty dark (so I decided to this cover as an instrumental).
My ukulele is plugged into my iPad via an audio interface and recorded into Cubasis, with Eventide Crystals effect added. The backing is a midi file that I have tweaked and removed the main melody and riff from so I can play those on my ukulele.
Hope you like it.

No Surprises - Ukulele Instrumental Cover

Loved this the first time round! Decided to do an instrumental using my Ukulele and some virtual instruments on my iPad.

Running Up That Hill (Instrumental) - A Multitude Of One

Another A.I. Session in AUM. This time with 3 different midi generators: Autony, Zoa and Riffer, playing a variety of instruments and some drum apps with various FX.

Och A.I.

Once again inspired by my friend Doug Woods of The Sound Test Room, here is a laid back session underpinned by Pure Piano, using Reverse reverb, Eventide Shimmerverb and Blackhole, played by Zoa, accompanied by random percussion in Digistix 2, through Filterstep and Rack Reverb. The melody is provided by SWAM Geoflute meditation in Geoshred, also through Blackhole.

Ozric Sunrizer

A simple yet relaxing live jam in AUM using GeoShred with SWAM GeoFlute, through Eventide Black Hole, plus LoFi Piano, through Alteza and played by Zoa. A drone was provided by MitoSynth played by Atom 2.

Greeting The New Day - A Multitude Of One

My first proper tune on the KORG Wavestate! I have called it Rivulets and Raindrops.
You can watch the video here:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z7bEw-8d5SU&t=1s

I modified a lovely patch called Beautiful Pianos which was originally designed by Mark Barnes (Angelstar Scotland) who has produced some wonderful patches and great videos about the Korg Wavestate here https://www.youtube.com/user/barnmarc

I removed some of the fx from the main piano for my modified patch to suit my melody better.
All of the sounds are a single live performance on the Wavestate.

Rivulets And Raindrops

Having been in various bands over the years, covering a huge range of musical styles (Zion - Heavy Rock, Spike - Rock, Colin & Bob - Acoustic Duo, Forgotten Heroes - Synth Pop, Cool & The Blues - Pop, Cool Company - Dance,  Yellow Day - Symphonic Rock and currently Automatic Splash - Rock and Pop covers band), Alter Ego UK and now my new name, A Multitude of One,  is my opportunity to revisit some old songs and try some new ones in whatever style happens to come out in the mix! :)

Thanks for listening!
