Analog Sweden

It started six months with our first Blade Runner tribute track, and after the great response it spawned the idea to make a whole album. We're approaching the creation of the music with a rig similar to Vangelis' original setup, of course including the Yamaha CS80, Roland VP-330 strings and Rhodes. On this track we also used the Prophet 5, Jupiter 4 and Analogue Solutions Vostok mk1. The working methods are also inspired by Vangelis, using a live and direct approach to capture the energy and feel of the original recordings where everything is played by hand. No midi is or will be used, only analog sequencers will be used.  

Together with a professional writer we're creating new small stories, called moments, that will be the themes for the music, and to please the eyes we're working with illustrators Kilian Eng and HR-FM for the creation of the album art. http://dwdesign.tumblr.com/ http://www.hr-fm.com/

We want to release cd, colored vinyl and an art booklet with illustrations for every track and documentation on the creation.

They hide in a abandoned corporate skyscraper. From the rooftop they watch the glimmering lights of the distant city as it blends with the foggy night sky. As his life fades away, his feelings for her grows stronger. She glances over the gritty dark city and suddenly realizes that she fears his death more than her own.

Remote Emotions - Moments Lost - Snippet

The time and effort that goes into creating a Moments Lost track involves disecting and analyzing the original Blade Runner songs to capture settings, harmonies, sounds, mood and feelings to come up with new ideas. 

The Blade Runner Blues consists of four distinct parts -  the VP-330 strings that form the foundation where everything rests, the Rhodes electric piano that adds organic dynamics and color to the Yamaha CS80 harmonica style lead that plays the bluesy part, and finally a bass that adds stability. Everything recorded in whole takes without punches or editing. VP330+CS80, Rhodes, and finally bass. 

This an excerpt of a 7.31 long jam. The full track will be part of the bonus material. Thanks for supporting the Moments Lost project!
