Marco Lucchi : piano (2012) and synthesizer (2021)

Gloria [2012 ---> 2021]

This project started as a quick remaster of a track called Eighty Seven that I released on 2021-10-04.
The original name was taken from the release date of the original Ensoniq SQ-80 that inspired the Arturia emulation that was used exclusively on the track.
The SQ-80 is a digital/analog synthesizer with a very typical retro sound from that era.

At first I was not 100% satisfied with the final result and started an alternate version as a subproject.
Then after working more on the original I got the sound I liked and released it on 2021-10-04.

I revisited the alternate subproject a few weeks ago and liked some of the changes I had experimented with, especially for the drums and bass that had more punch. That did not work well with the original lead part so I decided to create a remake as a distinct release with some new lead sounds. I named it "Eighty Eight" for lack of inspiration but the name stuck.

The chord structure and rhythm remain but the harsh digital guitar-like lead was replaced with a combination of an analog arpeggiated lead and some digital SQ-80 orchestral stabs.
I also shortened the track to make it fit better with the new arp + stab elements and avoid repetition.

The Arturia SQ-80 is still used on most of the tracks but I added the Cherry Audio Mercury 4 (Jupiter 4) for the analog lead.
I think that the contrast between the colder SQ-80 and the warm analog arp lead is interesting.

I am listing the plugins that I used, including the ones from the original:
