What an amazing atmosphere this conjures up. It's incredible what you can squeeze out of that old gear. Another one of your "unfinished" classics that sounds wholly rounded to me.

The best-of-the-best from the ROBOT Lab. Enjoy!

ROBOT Labs Electro Collection

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.

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!

Yet another orphan track from the "NOTES - Sketches from the ROBOT Labs" series. Like it's fellows this is a work in progress, a quick sketch to get some ideas down so I can come back to them later if I feel so inspired. Constructive criticism  is appreciated and encouraged.

For the synth nerds...

This track was sequenced using an antique copy of Cakewalk Pro from 1991 running on an equally ancient Windows 95 PC. The synthesizers and drum machines were all hardware, mostly vintage and include the following:

Roland JUNO-106, alpha JUNO, D-50 & JV-35
Korg Volca Beats & Microkorg
Novation Bass Station
Realistic (Moog) MG-1
Yamaha FB-01
Alesis Microverb III
NU-X Phaser Core

Please listen, share and ENJOY!

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!
