Les Cheveux Dans Le Vent

This track were made with the sounds of the Casio MT-65 only. The MT-65, released in 1983, is small keyboard with 49 mid-sized keys, 8 note polyphony, 12 styles, 20 tones, vibrato, sustain/reverb and modulation FX. It uses the NEC D930/931 ICs which were used for many Casio keyboards between 1983 and 1986. The D930 accompaniment chip is famous for it's for bass, chord and arpeggio variations, allowing a total number of 768 style variations. The MT-65 was re-released in a different colour as the MT-68 in 1984. There's also a larger version existing, the CT-405.
I've used the original and sampled versions of the sounds, together with delay, reverb and chorus.

Another album that I’ve been listening a lot this week is that of New York’s own Pale Lights. […] But what an album this is. It’s only 30 minutes long and opens with a cracker of a song called “Another Broken Heart”. You already know what to expect in the other 9 songs. Just heartfelt jangly indiepop crafted in perfection. Highlights are “Port of Shadows” that reminds me of The Bats, their previous single “Boy of Your Dreams” that has that Felt-ish guitar, or The Chills inspired “Only an Ocean”. I don’t know what will happen in 2014, but this might be a serious contender for your next year list!

Line Up on the Solstice

Une reprise de Jean Bart, Automne, originellement sortie sur l'album "Affaire Classée Avec Fracas Et Pertes, J'En Ai Trop Vu, DEs Mûres Et Des Pas Vertes".
Ce morceau était destiné à un album de reprises visant à venir en aide en chanteur, qui a préféré tout envoyer en l'air.

Tant pis.

Automne (Jean Bart cover)

This is a Watoo Watoo cover meant for a tribute album. We've been fans of the Bordeux band since their 1999 EP Picture Of A Lost Friend out of Radio Khartoum. Michaël reached out a few years ago and asked if we'd like to participate in the tribute record and of course we said "Oui!". The concept was for each cover to use one or two original stems. We used the drum stems from "Je Tourne En Rond", had the lyrics translated into English and voila!

Je Tourne En Rond by The Summer Triangle (Watoo Watoo Cover)

'The Ghost In You' (acoustic version) by Steve's White Jacket.
Written by Richard Butler / Tim Butler. Originally performed by The Psychedelic Furs - from the album 'Mirror Moves' (1984) Columbia Records.
This version performed by Marc and Charlie with a Casio MT45 and Logic Pro, amongst other things.

Watoo Watoo - Perdu (2007)

This is a demo of the vintage FX unit from Viscount ER-256. This is a digital unit from the 80's, quite rare and which was intended to be used with organs. There is a mono input and stereo outputs. We have an input level control, an output level control, dry/wet mix control, a selector for the FX and a selector for variation around each FX.

In this demo, I'm running a "rock" beat from a Casio MT-25 through the unit with a 50% setting on the mix potentiometer.

I'm going through each FX with its 16 variations during all the demo.

Please note that there are sometimes some spitting in sound, this is due to the potentiometers, I fix this problem after the recording (not logical, I agree) and there is not spitting now...

FX list :

1. SMALL ROOM
2. MEDIUM ROOM
3. LARGE ROOM
4. MEDIUM HALL
5. LARGE HALL
6. CHAMBER
7. PLATE
8. GATE
9. REVERSE
10. REGEN LONG
11. REGEN MEDIUM
12. LONG DELAY
13. MEDIUM DELAY
14. SHORT DELAY
15. MULTI TAP
16. MULTI EFX

Gate, Reverse, Chamber and plate are particularly interesting as reverbs and multi tap is a very cool delay since it has different "patterns" of delaying in each of its 16 variations.

Enjoy !
