Lo - Fi ROBOTS Dubsteppin' On Video Games

Just messing things up a bit while I drink my morning coffee. 

This is a "live" jam recorded in one take using a Volca Bass passed through an EH Bass Micro Synthesizer and a $10 analogue delay pedal as the lead. Baseline courtesy of the Juno-6 sync'd to a TR-707. I threw in a couple random samples to spice things up a bit. MIDI be damned! 

Listen LOUD to amuse your neighbours...
(and scare their cats)

Enjoy!

Techno tune produced entirely on the Nintendo DSi using the KORG DS-10+ synthesizer/drum machine.

The 1-bar components were composed while sitting on ferry boats. The final track was assembled while sitting on the pot.

Got a NEW toy!!. Using an Arturia Beatstep Pro to drive a vintage Roland aJUNO-1 and an old Roland JV-35. I'm working out some riffs and instrument combinations for an upcoming live show. This is really just a sketch and has not be mixed, mastered, or even EQ'd. Nonetheless, I hope you hear something you like.
Cheers!

NOTES No.1

NOTES No.1 - sketches from the ROBOT Lab

Another late-night synth jam, recorded dry and archived here.

This is a little chord sequence I was banging out on the piano for the last few days. It began to sound like it could be a good synth-pop tune so I put together a very rough cut so I wouldn't lose the idea. I'll go back and rework it a bit and it may end up on my next album.

As always, Listen. Share. ENJOY!

Cheers!

Synth Sunday!
Messing around with my "new" Novation Bass station plus my trusty ol' Roland D-50 and JV-35. Very rough track that may be massaged into part of the upcoming Liquid Zoo album.

Listen, share, ENJOY!

Tangerine Dream-inspired sequence produced using a Novation Bass Station, Roland D-50 and Moog MG-1. We're "all vintage, all the time" here at the ROBOT Lab. Well, except when were not. Anyway...

Listen. Share. ENJOY!

Have a listen. If you like what you hear please consider supporting the effort.

NOTES No.5 came about one rainy Sunday afternoon while I was testing out a newly acquired Novation Bass Station. I sequenced a simple baseline on the JUNO-106 and then started experimenting with lead sounds. I added 808 drum samples from a Roland JV-35, started playing chords with cheesy choir samples and before long I had the makings of a little synth-pop ditty.
