Name: They figured it out! by Brillman in Sound systems
Duration: 12 min 4 s
Description: Been a while since I made some Techno:) Just jammin’ with a few machines (small set up). BPM ca 123. Lost all sense of time while making this one so is a bit too long. Headphones recommended.

Been jamming with a small «live setup» separate to the main studio iow a very limited selection of sound sources:) Will add new tracks as they are recorded and if they pass QC:) Quite like the energy in having fewer creative choices. Trial and error mostly so limited sequencing here. Sampler & vocoder are also included in this set up:) Headphones recommended.

Crazy About You (Acoustic)

revisit an old friend

Lytholatry - 9 - 1-2025

Had fun making this. Been jamming with a small «live setup» separate to the main studio so very limited selection of sound sources:) Can you guess the 3 synths in action? (One is not a synth per se). Quite like the energy in this one though no arrangment as such. Trial and error mostly so made a quick test before recording. Sampler & vocoder included here:) Mastered 16 bit wav. Headphones recommended.

Soundsystem

Another jam with my small «live setup» that’s separate to the main studio. Iow a very limited selection of sound sources here, i.e. «less is more»:)
There are 4 synths (one is not a synth per se) in action apart from the drum machine. Quite pleased with the sounds and mix in this one. Sampler but no vocoder this time. Only light mastering (16 bit wav). Headphones recommended.

Pixies (2025)

A really long jam that was pre-prepared (certain aspects i.e. samples, patches, drum patterns, etc) but mostly improvised. Tempo is 134 bpm. Really getting a Moby vibe from this one (Techno days) but that was not intentional:) Only noticed this while mastering. Not too mad about the Roland D-beam synth though. 4 synths, 1 sampler, 1 drum machine. 
Headphones recommended:) Enjoy the groove!

Stereoimagery - Tonight

Needed a break from the C-tracks so jammed with my "live setup" that consists of 4 Behringer machines: 
RD-6, Syncussion, Neutron & K2 + the tiny Teenage Engineering PO 35:) 

Only used 1 send delay effect from a small mixer so absolutely a minimal set up compared to the main studio:) A keystep + a Sq1 sequencer were used to trigger the various synths. Melody was programmed;-) 134 bpm.

Brillman has been an electronic online musician during the last 20 years using many different names: Brillman, Controlfreak, freakcontrol, Red Karma, Atmosphere, Zero Loop, Pan64, Randomcontrol, geometric delay and Superfreak! Brillman mainly creates original sounds from hardware synths but also uses guitar, samplers, vocals or even poetry. He primarily utilizes a 4 to the floor approach. The aesthetics behind the music is about finding a balance between minimalism vs. depth & improvisation vs. programmed.
