In the midst of the first Covid lockdown in the UK, I had borrowed a few synthesizers from a friend. Since we were stuck in the house, Katherine and I took the opportunity to put together a synth arrangement of the 7th movement of Gyorgy Ligeti's Musica Ricercata. 

This is our second performance of the piece. You can watch the first on YouTube (albeit a bit ropey in places) here:

Synths used: 
Sequential Prophet 6
ARP Odyssey
Native Instruments Massive

Recorded and mixed using Cubase.

Gyorgy Ligeti - Musica Ricercata - VII (Colin Broom with Katherine Waumsley)

Synths: Colin Broom.
Lyrics & Vocals: Katherine Waumsley.



For anyone interested in the gear side of things, here's the modular system I was running:

along with a Behringer Poly D, Absynth, Massive and Kontakt, recording in Cubase.
