Prophet 12

Trying to create binaural synthesis on the Prophet-12. Recording directly from the outs of the Prophet12, no effects used.

Single from my industrial project cell:burn. Lot's of sci-fi sound design on this one, along with hardware synths (Waldorf Micro Q & Microwave XTk, Nord Lead, Korg MS-20) Vocoders and a ton of beats...

"Close your eyes. Now imagine, pushing through the atmosphere in a galactic starship, as you escape the last remnants of the post-apocalyptic "Wastelandscape" that was once known as Earth; destination, unknown. All you can do is wonder what could have been done to prevent this destruction as you drift towards the emptiness of space..." (a good pair of headphones highly recommended in order to hear all of the [sound design] details of this one.)

This demo was recorded during the development of the CMP sound set for the Prophet-12, a collaboration between Peter M. Mahr and myself, All sound you hear, including the drums and effects, are 100% DSI Prophet-12. Only a little EQ and compression is used on the master track.

Electricity Cover (Dreadbox Murmux Adept Demo)

Ok, this is definitely a blast from the past! Uploaded for archival purposes. I recorded this sometime around 1986 right when the Ensoniq ESQ-1 had come out; I rushed out and bought it the first week! I used that, the Ensoniq Mirage and my Guitar recorded into a Clarion XD5 4 Track Cassette Recorder (with a lot of track bouncing! Hence the poor quality.) The bad and cheesy vocals were recorded using a cheap $20 Radio Shack microphone going into a cheap Boss Chorus pedal and Delay Pedal... and that was the setup! I also had a Sequential Circuits Prophet 600 which I bought in 1983 and a Roland TR-909, but neither of those were used in this song if I recall correctly.

The Suffering (1980s 4-Track Demo)

Recorded in 1986 using the Ensoniq Mirage and ESQ-1. I had lyrics written and sung for this, but my vocals were so bad that I deleted the vocal tracks back then. But it was a catchy tune! 
Lyrics for the chorus:

A Bright New World that we can love
A Bright New World, we can be proud of it
A Bright New World with all the things
That makes a world so bright

(and yes that is me in the photo, taken in 1984.)

Prophet-12  Fade To 12

A song I did back in 1988 on the Ensoniq EPS. Vocals by a friend at the time named Roderick Moyes. Recorded onto a Clarion XD5 4-Track Cassette Recorder.

Music From The 80s

Tonight (from 1988 - vocals by Roderick Moyes)

The workshop from UDOs Super-6 made me curious what can be done with the Prophet-12 and I went with a vanilla sound, a little of digital highs in there too. First run is dry, centered but two sounds stacked, Second run is same but the sounds are set to left and right, third run I added some chorus and delay to each line separately (L&R), fourth run I used an LFO with shifted phase on the VCA which ends up in a pseudo pan effect.
