Ken Thomas - 24 Hour Sky Rail

MPC 1000 samples (909 and re re re re re sampled noise textures) and multi tracked SE-02 bass and pads. Light mixing and additional reverbs added in Ableton.

Recorded 1/12/22

Maniac Demo 2

I put together a glassy piano chord patch on my DX 9 and the rest of this sort of just happened. I have COVID right now and feel like shit so I guess making something uplifting was the move.

MPC handling 909 samples for percussion. DX 9 for the glassy chords and the bass line samples. Leads and arps from the MS-20 and the SE-02. 

Tracked live. Sorry for the lengthiness but I didn't have a plan when I hit record...

Island Devotional

Testing Vermona DRM1 MKIII routed through Mackie DFX12 mixer with Boss DD7 delay in the fx loop. Recorded live into Ableton with a tiny bit of Reverb. Pads via DX9, bass via MS-20, noisy stabs via SE-02.

Acid Dream V2 No Mix / No Master

Demo / WIP. 

Yamaha DX 9 pads processed through MPC 1000 filter bank. MS-20 mini bass lines. Malekko Manther arp's and leads. Vermona DRM1 MKiii percussion. All instruments summed through Mackie DFX12 with analog and digital delays plus plus reverb.

6 6 6 DJ - PAUL FRIEND

Roland JX-3P, Yamaha DX9, Malekko Manther, and Vermona DRM1 MKIII sequenced and played via Keystep Pro midi controller all running through a very scratchy Mackie CR1604 mixer with Boss DD-7, EHX Cathedral Reverb, and TC June 60 Chorus in the FX loops. Recorded live to two tracks in Ableton where I trimmed the fat and added compression (ham-fisted, clumsily). 

zm prius night mix

it's been awhile since i've shared any new music. now with a proper home studio space i've found more inspiration. 

as usual this was recorded live in one take using an old casiotone mt-68, a few pedals and my mackie-dfx 12 mixer. one hand on the chords; one hand on the knobs.

MPC 1000 running TR606, guitar noise, and DX9 stab samples while controlling the MS-20m. Both redlining through Mackie DFX12 mixer. Two FX loops - one with the DOD Rubberneck Analog Delay and the other with the Boss DD7 + June-60. All extra inputs, outputs, and aux sends utilized for no-input mixing noise.
