Open Synth MIDI Orchestra@Upperground - 06|02|2016 - incl. Video

3h live and improvised #dawless jam - 7 people and a bunch of synths.  I am really glad that the video and audio recording worked out that long. Mostly we need approximately 1h to find our groove. There is someone with a flute and real singing involved and someone doing real percussions but sadly not visible with that camera angle.

We formed this combo 8 years ago - the Open Synth MIDI Orchestra - born from the wish to perform electronic music live. No tracks are prepared and everything is improvised. We started with 5 people back in the days, today were 5-8 people depending on who has the time to play a gig.

I try to list some of the equipment:

- Korg Microkorg
- Korg Electribe Sampler 2
- Synthstrom Deluge
- Akai MPC 1000 with JJ OS
- Yamaha DX200
- Elektron Rythm
- Korg Volca Bass
- Korg Volca Sample
- Arturia Mini Brute
- Elektron Monomachine (outside camera angle)
- Elektron Machinedrum (outside camera angle)
… and a lot of other stuff …
