Name: NuEVI wind controller collection for OB6, examples by Johan Berglund
Duration: 7 min 31 s
Description: Some of the patches in the coming wind controller soundbank for DSI OB6. Made with the NuEVI particulary in mind (used in demo), but it will work great with any wind controller capable of sending channel pressure (aftertouch) for breath control.

Nice sounds Johan!! Is there a way to hear the Novation Peak’s sounds?

Raised by Machines features Steven Sciulli "the father of Pittsburgh Electronic music" on synthesizers, computer and programming and Paul Ferraro on guitars.

... I love hypnotic grooves. --------- A bit tight harping on Danmoi. ... and, also in one go, a jam with my Akai EWI breathcontroller using a sound of the awesome Respiro vst. enjoy !

some birds fly on and on

This is Swedish folk music from the 1880's. In my version, I updated it to the folk music of the 1980's: Synth pop.
The tune is from Henrik Åsberg, who had got it from Staffan Venngren, who had got it from his uncle Jan Venngren. The uncle played at the midsummer dance in Österbybruk, Uppland 21 years in a row. It's unknown if he played this tune all those years. It's a waltz but maybe my version is a little too slow for dancing.

Tullitova is a nonsense word, like ”hey baberiba”. This track is based on a tune from Morkarlby, Dalecarlia. It's after Anders Otter (born 1877), who probably had learned it from his grandmother, who had heard Knagg Brita blow her horn.
There is lyrics on the original manuscript, but it's written in ancient dialect with bad handwriting. Not a good combination. After finishing recording, I had another go at trying to decipher the lyrics. The story is about a twelve man strong band of thugs, vandalizing the fäbod (mountain pasture). They ruined the big axe, killed the herding dog and scared the critter far out in the woods. The herding girl realizes that they will go after her next. What a horrible story! 
It was probably just as well, that I found out the meaning of the lyrics after finishing recording, because in my version it's a somewhat cheerful uptempo track and I like it that way. I suppose I was misled by the whimsical ”tullitova”. 
Except for drums, Mellotron and Rhodes piano, all sounds are from the Bergfotron MiniStorm – an analog synth I designed and built myself.

Tullitovalåten (The tullitova tune)

Experiment during COVID-19 Pandemic using Bandlab to trade and share tracks with fellow band members. For my tracks I used only a VL7Om and NuEVI controller plus tracks from my bandmates:

Guitar - Kevin Campbell
Bass - Ray Del Vecchio
Keys - Jay MacDonald

Luvsong

This track is based on two tunes from Elsa Siljebo (1916 – 2009), who lived way up north in Fredrika, Lappland. I guess you could call this progressive folk music, since Dansa liten piga (Dance little maid) is the most rhythmically complex Swedish folk tune I've come across. You might wonder if the little maid really was able to dance to this. I combined it with Elsa's tune Klockarpolskan (The bellringer polska), which combines a triplet rhythm with long-short and an occasional short-long. But most of all, it's a lovely tune.
I play the lead on my NuEVI, which triggers the MiniStorm – an analog synth I have designed and built myself. The sound is inspired by the traditional Swedish spelpipa (playing pipe, a sort of recorder) – although the spelpipa can't play portamento, of course... The MiniStorm also plays bass and the rest of the sounds (including drums) are from the Nord Modular G2.

NuEvi over Wild Horses

This is a track I did with a friend using a Theremin-like patch to introduce a gliding melody line.

This is an amazing interview with trumpeter, band leader, event planner, and EVI - electronic valve instrument player, Don Cagen. This program is a learning experience for any new musician.
