Very cool notes! (Cool notes is a group from 80's btw, does not relate, just remembered)

Can't believe this is unfinished. Sounds absolutely top drawer. Wonderful and uplifting.

This song is part of the Ferry Sessions; short tracks composed in the front seat of my car, or the passenger lounge on the Skeena Queen during my weekly ferry ride into town.  The trip is 35 minutes each way, so, the bulk of the tracks' main themes, phrases, loops, and arrangements are laid down in about an hour, with a wee bit of tinkering when I get back home. 

Contrary to my regular M.O. there are no vintage synths here, just an old MacBook with Garageband, a Microkorg, and a no-name MIDI controller.

Listen. Share. Enjoy!

A Cobalt sky…
A Cobalt drive
And Cobalt waves beyond the horizon.
Cobalt Dreams,
Cobalt gleams.
These are all beautiful things, yeah.

Can you just Imagine
A World filled plenty, woah,
Of all the Goodness for you and me, ah…

This one was a joy to make. Lots of analog goodies for your earbuds.

Hope you enjoy it as much as I do.

Happy holidays and happy new year!

Many thanks to the bot that came up with the art.

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.

A good segment of time crafting this one, yo
Unique synths and unique drum n bass for you, with love...

Happy early Christmas~

When I was Mastering this, somehow the VST plugin I was using to create the Bass got boosted and stuck all the way on maximum power and was unchangeable for some reason. So, I just kept it that way~

Experimental Electronica and Synthesizer Cheese.  lo-fi ROBOT Boy makes music using hardware synthesizers, sequencers & drum machines collected from flea markets, yard sales, and the dusty back rooms of music shops. Everything has knobs, sliders & smells like ozone. VSTs and blue LEDs be damned!
