I first heard Hallogallo by NEU! a couple of years ago. I instantly loved the track. The simple and easily recognizable—but also very energetic and catchy—Motorik beat, along with the progressive introduction of elements was very compelling. There was a relative simplicity of structure that combined with its experimental origins boosted my confidence that I, too, could make my very own Krautrock inspired jam. 

I had lots of fun working on this track and ended up with something that I enjoy listening to. I hope you do too.

My inspirational playlist was composed of:
1. Hallogallo - NEU! (NEU!)
2. Ankle Injuries - Fujiya &Miyagi (Transparent Things)
3 ISI - NEU! (NEU! 75)
4. Cassettesingle - Fujiya & Miyagi (Transparent Things)
5. Doors Unlocked And Open - Death Cab Cutie (Codes and Keys)
6. Like Foxes Through Fences - The American Analog Set (Know by Heart)
7. Conductor 71 - Fujiya Miyagi(Transparent Things)
8. Electro Karaoke - Fujiya & Miyagi (Electro Karaoke in the Negative Style)
9. Bees - Caribou (The Milk of Human Kindness)

My first track on OP-1. Composed over some fiddling and jamming sessions in the balcony. All sounds produced by OP-1, recorded to OP-1 album, then some EQ, compression and shaping (no editing, other than fade out) in Ableton Live.

This is my second take of a Volca FM + Monotron Delay + POs Arcade, Tonic and Speak + Bastl Kastle 1.0 jam. I wanted to play around with a bunch of the little synths that I have by connecting them to each other. 

After playing around with the setup I came up with something that sounded cool to me and decided to record it. This is my second take of it where I tried to add a bit of song structure and also fix some timing issues I had in the first take. I'm not super experienced with live play, so there's no neat division into song sessions with a certain number of bars and some transitions are a bit rough, also, with 13 minutes it's certainly a tad too self indulgent. I still enjoy listening to it, though, and that's why I'm sharing it!

The sounds of each synth were mixed through the Bastl Dude portable mixer and recorded on my audio interface to Ableton Live where I added a limiter, some compression and other small tweaks before exporting.
