Running through some of the multitude of excellent sound patches a 1982 Octave-Plateau Voyetra 8 awakens during major repairs at Hideaway Studio.  This relatively rare 16 VCO 8 Voice analog polysynth was the first rackmounted polyphonic synth and is absolutely crammed full of electronics!!

1982 Octave-Plateau Voyetra Eight: Patch Walkthrough

I am the original JOY (circa 1994): a recording artist, amusic producer, an audio engineer, a Live PA, and DJ. I perform at festivals and underground venues. I play funky, tribal, techno-house in the warehouses and original, sexy AF electronic-downtempo at festival sunrise sets.  My genre style is laced with a kickback to the 90's era of chillout music production vibe. 

"It’s not what you play; it's how you play it." - JOY
"Music should be timeless and sound current whenever it is heard.  There is no age limit to a good song."  - JOY
