Analog Sweden

Three hours of live improvisation with AnalogFour and two speakers. From the opening of Mary Segerfalk's exhibition at Yoshio Nakajima art center the 29th of june 2013. Unedited file, so please excuse the 40 sec silence in the beginning.

Sepia remembers the sky

It started six months with our first Blade Runner tribute track, and after the great response it spawned the idea to make a whole album. We're approaching the creation of the music with a rig similar to Vangelis' original setup, of course including the Yamaha CS80, Roland VP-330 strings and Rhodes. On this track we also used the Prophet 5, Jupiter 4 and Analogue Solutions Vostok mk1. The working methods are also inspired by Vangelis, using a live and direct approach to capture the energy and feel of the original recordings where everything is played by hand. No midi is or will be used, only analog sequencers will be used.  

Together with a professional writer we're creating new small stories, called moments, that will be the themes for the music, and to please the eyes we're working with illustrators Kilian Eng and HR-FM for the creation of the album art. http://dwdesign.tumblr.com/ http://www.hr-fm.com/

We want to release cd, colored vinyl and an art booklet with illustrations for every track and documentation on the creation.

They hide in a abandoned corporate skyscraper. From the rooftop they watch the glimmering lights of the distant city as it blends with the foggy night sky. As his life fades away, his feelings for her grows stronger. She glances over the gritty dark city and suddenly realizes that she fears his death more than her own.

Studio outtakes from work in progress with track #7 "Remote Emotions" of Moments Lost -  A crowdfunded project with music, art & stories inspired by Blade Runner. Music: Analog Sweden - Artwork: Kilian Eng & HR-FM.

Remote Emotions - Moments Lost - Snippet

http://www.indiegogo.com/projects/moments-lost

The time and effort that goes into creating a Moments Lost track involves disecting and analyzing the original Blade Runner songs to capture settings, harmonies, sounds, mood and feelings to come up with new ideas. 

The Blade Runner Blues consists of four distinct parts -  the VP-330 strings that form the foundation where everything rests, the Rhodes electric piano that adds organic dynamics and color to the Yamaha CS80 harmonica style lead that plays the bluesy part, and finally a bass that adds stability. Everything recorded in whole takes without punches or editing. VP330+CS80, Rhodes, and finally bass. 

This an excerpt of a 7.31 long jam. The full track will be part of the bonus material. Thanks for supporting the Moments Lost project!

About DJ Zyron
"Zyron is a schooldance DJ from the 80's, who know the craftsmanship from a very basic level. His mixing style is smooth and organic like a living snake, and most of the time you can be sure you're in for a dreamy mystical journey of some kind, organic or robotic and everything inbetween. And somewhere inside this cosmic mess, you can hear the signs of a disturbed commodore 64 scener who's been listening to way too much Depeche Mode.The trademark is Zyron's unusual (dis)harmonic touch, which somehow pierces through not just the DJ mixes but his own music productions, not to mention all the SID music he has produced in the past. I don't know if this is his selection, pitch settings, or if Martin Gore did something to Zyron as a boy, but it's unimitable. No other DJ sounds like that. /Joakim Cosmo"

Analog Sweden presents Blade Runner Tribute - The Lost City

Live improvisation on the Oberheim Eight Voice showing the possibilities to tweak all SEM:s to different sounds while playing. One hand playing, one hand tweaking.

8 voices of tom - Oberheim Eight Voice

by Samuel Barber interpreted by Analog Sweden

The Yamaha DX7 killed the whole analog synthesizer market when it was introduced. The analog companies tried to fight the digital Godzilla, but failed like doomed dinosaurs. World dominance was inevitable with its low price and supreme stability and over 160.000 machines sold. But, it felt like something was lost - the soul had vanished and was replaced by digital perfection. 

One of the victims of the DX7's success was the Moog Memorymoog - which was the last product Moog released before going bankrupt. Luckily for us all Moog Inc is now a resurrected company. We found it fitting to use the Memorymoog to perform one of the saddest pieces written; Samuel Barber's "Adagio for strings" op.11, but with a twist. You might recognize the music which has been used in many movies, with Platoon by Oliver Stone probably being the most famous.

The end sample is from Tokyo the 11th of march 2011, the day of the horrible tsunami hitting Japan. The public speaker system is trying to calm the worried city.

Comment from the artist, HR-FM
Yes, dx7 killed a lot of music instrument. It was developed at the end of high economic growth, Japan. With the renovation of the musical instrument, The new concept to buy or sell tone color was established. The digital monster produced in capacity available of the economic growth left soul, and may have advanced ahead. Music will always accompany life. Analogs match it well. I really wanted to work with Analog Sweden because I love synthesizer-motifs. Actually, I had DX-7 and Jupiter-4 in the past. When I was young, I spent it with music by YMO and I still love electronic music.
