Just a fun little mix of analog goodness, melodic techno, dub elements and an overall chill vibe. I forgot to add the bass back in after the break, luckily I caught it a bit later. Well, mistakes happen.

Jam 137 ANALOG TECHNO Studio jam - Dub-ish synths & drums

I love these jams where it looks easy and it actually was. It came together pretty quick, everything fits, one take and done! 

Even mixing was very minimal except for the vocal which needed cleaning up (which is normal when you record while music is playing). I think I only used a bit of EQ and saturation on the rest. With compression only on the master.

Long jam alert! My first jam using the new patchbay setup, so I just routed a few synths through a few pedals. Result: some nice drone textures. 

So I just went with it, created some melodic elements as a contrast. I got a nice beat going and there it is. I really love this sound. Lots going on but it all depends on which you focus.

Jam 139 Analog Studio Techno Jam - Dissonant drones

More pedals, more arps, more drones. Still exploring the new setup and the pedals. I'm now finally in the position to get to know the pedals better and what combinations work best.

Check out the audio of our latest jam. Couple of mistakes of course, but we had a lot of fun!

Experimenting some more with the pedals. I put the Lyra-8 through the Walrus Audio Sloër, and giving the pedal some bursts of more mix percentage really gave life to the drone. I guess that's another trick learned!

Jam 142 Melodic Techno - More synths through pedals

This turned out to be a pretty mellow / chill jam, no agressive leads or arps. Just nice sounds, pedals doing their thing, a nice soundbed and great vocals. 

Jam 143 Chill Analog Vocal Techno Jam feat Inge - Stronger

So, how does this work? I have a starting point patch on the Sub37 which is called "jam" or something similar. From there I tweak a bit to get to a good sounding patch pretty quickly. By accident I recreated a patch which I used a lot 2 years ago. I love that sound.

Somehow all the synths combined with the pedals decided to make really dreamy sounds. From the Lyra-8 through the Walrus Audio Sloër, to the Minilogue XD through the Empress Echosystem and the Matriarch with lots of noise. I went with it and made a hazy dreamy chill jam.

Jam 146 - Medlodic Techno Jam Feat. Inge - I walk away

It's getting dark early, so what's better than switching on my gear and getting some music done?! Nothing, that's right! Nothing really fancy but I do like all the sounds coming together.
