A collection of songs I made using one of my favorite synths of all time, Teenage Engineering OP-1.  A couple of them were augmented inside Ableton Live, but even those tracks began in the OP-1 and much of the creation process happened in the OP-1.

This is the first "A-side" I made with my OP-1.  Features samples from Salt n Pepa and random gibberish.  The last bit  (about 4:15) was recorded sitting on a rock by a stream (the stream was sampled of course), ah the joys of portability.

One Day- OP-1 a-side

This track was recorded on the OP-1.  I realized last  night that you can use the mic to record anything into the tape recorder, so I played guitar and sang right into it.  

Come on Home OP-1

This is a little acoustic track recorded on the OP-1 during the most brutal heatwave ever (I think).  Everything was recorded right into the built in mic on the OP-1 and you can hear the summer bugs bugging out on the vocal tracks.  Those bugs were pissed because it's so hot out. 

Always Mine/Always Yours OP-1

228 Million Dollars was recorded on the Teenage Engineering OP-1 and finished in Ableton Live.  All sounds were created using the OP-1's built-in synths and FM radio. Visit http://bit.ly/freesynth120 to download a free Ableton Live Pack featuring all the sounds in this track.

"All of My Life (I Have Been Waiting For You)" was recorded outside in a screen house around midnight 8/18/12 on Long Island, New York.  Written and recorded by AfroDJMac and SuperKid.  Recorded on the Teenage Engineering OP-1, using its internal microphone for guitars, vocals, and percussion.  Keyboard added inside Ableton Live with the AfroDJMac CP-35 Pack (free download of that instrument here: http://bit.ly/freesynth9)  

Lyrics:

It's alright Tonight
You'll be home before long
All of my life I have been waiting for you
When I'm alone I dream of you
Before you go make sure you know
All of my life I have been waiting for you
