Name: Deckjam No 1 by Peter Judd
Duration: 16 min
Description: A summer night's jam on the deck. Pitched down samples and polyrhythms using different lengths for each Digitakt track. First time I've recorded used Digitakt midi to drive my modular with CV converter. Recorded from the outs on my Roland Street amp into Zoom H6 so a bit noisy but I like that.

Tweak Moog Matriarch.
It also has a nice stereo delay.

Making sense of the Moog Matriarch's sequencer and paraphony, and wondering how it gets along with Hologram Microcosm.
This is Matriarch into a mixer with Microcosm on the effects send/return. Five edits from a 30-minute take.

I bought this little pink travel guitar by Enya on Amazon and recorded it with a mic. Didn't buy the one with FX. It is a fun little instrument and has a sort-of lofi, intimate appeal. But when you hit it hard, it rings out. Very surprising. I also have an Ovation carbon fibre and they are very different guitars.
The song is about a woman intimated by the towering presence of the man she wants to love, so much so that she feels too small to be loved.

So Tall to Fall

Watching My Garden Grow

Some Australian magpies, a neighbor sawing wood and a dragonfly that buzzes past my Zoom mic. And some slow moving loops.

This is just a spontaneous improvisation with my new Moog Matriarch. I tried to use at least some of the features like the different voice modes, oscillator sync etc. (no patching though). I also threw together a simple sequence to demonstrate the use of the Ratchet, Tie and Rest buttons as live performance tools for on-the-fly sequence manipulation - something that I don't remember seeing in any of the Matriarch videos I have watched. 

You can also watch this performance on YouTube (although you won't be seeing much more than two hands playing a colourful synthesizer and twiddling some knobs): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4rhl3VwicyE

There's a little bit of reverb added, the rest is purely the Matriarch.

Moog Matriarch Improvisation

I've written my own stuff since I was a kid and have basically chronicled my life, which most songwriters do. I was quite into guitar until I broke my hand fending off an intruder who tried to break into my home. Little finger didn't play fair. So now I'm into synths and keyboards, have built a decent collection including a Moog Matriarch, Prophet 5 Rev4, the Behringer 2600 and 2500 semi-modular, the UDO Super 6 (truly awesome), Novation Peak, Yamaha Modx6 (such a workhorse),  Deepmind 12, Digitakt, Modal Cobalt (surprising and, yes, digital) and the Behringer Crave. They each have their strengths, but the Matriarch is my go to for inspiration. (Update: Super 6 is now the fave)
