A Beautiful End to a Stars Life (excerpt)

DX5 is the 2nd most expensive DX synthesizer by YAMAHA. Sound is more balanced than DX7II.  Always a single sound or a layer - no splits on that recording,  no (audio) multi track.

A lost track I did in early 2015. I was experimenting with live drums and a hybrid chip sound.

The Long Past (Progressive Hybrid Chip)

Kürrent is a classic Hammond B3 organ trio with the addition of analog synths, circuit bent electronica, and samples

Doll Fin

This is the first remix ever composed by me, and I wouldn't be me if it were not made of a progressive rock track :)

If you'd like to use this track in a DJ set or as a re-remix source, I'd appreciate that you let me know about it and mention me in your work's credits.

All sounds are from the new Hammond SKX Organ apart from drums which are from a Roland BK-7m
Not a perfect recording but I just love Jobims music.

How Insensitive

Jim Alfredson is perhaps best known as a Hammond organist, mostly in jazz and blues. His jazz trio, organissimo, formed in November of 2000 and continues to this day, releasing albums on Jim's own Big O Records label. In 1999, at the age of 22, he joined one of mid-Michigan's most revered blues bands, Root Doctor, and over the next 10 years helped produced three albums for them, writing songs and arrangements, before leaving in 2009. In 2010 he joined the international touring band for Los Angeles based blues artist Janiva Magness, leaving in late 2014.

Beyond jazz and blues, Jim has always been interested in other forms of music, including ambient electronica and progressive rock. In 2009 he released his first album of electronic music called 'In Memorandom' and in 2015 under the name THEO he released an album of progressive rock called 'The Game of Ouroborus', available in stereo and 5.1 versions.

Jim's first synthesizer was a Yamaha DX7, replaced by the updated Yamaha SY77 (which he still owns to this day). He enjoys both hardware and software synths, analog and digital, as well as Wurlitzer and Rhodes electric pianos, acoustic piano, and of course Hammond organs and Leslie speakers.

Jim is endorsed by Hammond-Suzuki USA, CASIO Musical Instruments, NEO Instruments, and Lounsberry Pedals. He records and mixes with Steinberg Cubase and Steinberg / Yamaha interfaces.
