John Bowen Solaris - Analog Imitations 2016

I am a synthesist an I like vintage i.e. analog synths from the 70ies, 80ies and 90ies.

My original music, with poor mixing and usually not a lot of polish before I get distracted by the next idea.
I don't use AI for music.

Eccentric keyboardist of the band Schnarfelapeklut, Innovator in the genre OpPvAsKvAnN!
