Name: Sleeping By The Lake by Brian Funk in OP-1 Tracks
Duration: 3 min
Description: An ambient track recorded on the Teenage Engineering OP-1, featuring ambient sounds from Lake George, NY.

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.

Break (alex g)

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

New Jersey's Front Bottoms have been climbing the indie hierarchy since 2008. Through a cult-like fan base, an abundance of critical reviews, and an extensive touring schedule with bands like Say Anything and Motion City Soundtrack, they finally reached the cusp with their highly anticipated 2013 album Talon of the Hawk. 

This album is arriving just in time to push your dumb friends in the pool and rock out to some fun folky, pop-punk. I'm sure the name drops like Say Anything or Motion City Soundtrack may scare off a few of you, but this album easily demolishes your hesitation to dive back into those 8th grade skinny jeans.
