Break You Off

This uses two patches from the Muse.  The on-board sequencer is used as well.

Coalesce

Live 12 - First HW Transition (2025-01-12)

Nord Lead A1 + Blofeld and Ableton Live stock drums. The synth solo took it's time to get it right.

Beginning or end

This is done entirely with the Prophet 12 synth

The Prophet's Share

Synthpop inspired by the increasing daylight up north in Scandinavia. Featuring Nord Lead A1 and Waldorf Blofeld plus samples from Fourteen Hours (1951 Film Noir Thriller). Decent Roland Juno vibes from these machines together.

Spring synthpop

This was a single track done with the Poly Evolver Keyboard synthesizer.   It showcases the beautiful stereo characteristics of the PEK.

The Lonely Ray

Argon 8 and Opsix in an FM duo pop track. Drums from some Roland R8 samples into Ableton drumrack.

I love these FM strat keys in the second half (originally from Synclavier I was told) as it reminds me of Tangerine Dream. I usually pick the 8-bit sine and saw waveforms on the Opsix wherever I can, to get that gritty quality. The bass is tweaked in that fashion.

These two synths work tremendously well together and don't try to win the audio spectrum like more different synths tend to do.

Kea 16.57

A rework of a very old track of mine, from at least 20 years ago. Then made with my JV-2080 and Machinedrum, now made almost entirely with the Waldorf Micro-Q as a challenge for myself, and a synth that I find perfect for this darker electronic vibe, yet it has a glossy 80's vibe from its wavetables and fm capabilities. Drums from Syntakt and Ableton Live.

Mystics of Tetris

A song celebrating the Arctic done entirely on the Moog Muse Synthesizer.

Unbounded

Some hard defined break beat Orbital style dance rave synthy track. Sequenced on Digitakt and tracked to Ableton Live track by track as I go along, as I rely much more on the midi timing from Overbridge than on my Motu 828X (only acting as a mixer here). The timing  difference is huge. Sounds are taken from the Xtreme Lead card in my Proteus 2000 and also the Protozoa library (Orbit bank) on my ESI 4000 sampler. Such huge treasure for these uplifting rave sounds that I had totally forgotten about. Effects from Valhalla.

Space Orbit 9090

I use Soundcloud to keep my short musical experiments on the Internet.

Comments are welcome and appreciated.
