Young Nudy - No Go Mix

If you scroll down, you'll find my clipper from a PPG. This is the clipper from my Blofeld. 
It's by far my favorite wavetable. I've been obsessed with it ever since recognizing it as the bass in 'Strange Charm' by Gary Numan.

I yearn for something that can hit with the harshness yet delicate sound of the PPG. I want that sound to be available to all.
 
I'll post the Microwave soon. I'll post the M when it gets here. Who knows, I might just say screw it and put them all in one recording...or layer them all for absolute mind-bendingly terrible mixing. I don't know. I might get really crazy and get an Iridium. I don't have any fans and I'm writing to empty space :). I doubt anyone will ever read this description anyway.

But my dream is to facilitate some programming and sound design so someone can get access to PPG sounds. I keep trying different formulas with different synths and even layering synths.

My Future Girlfriend

Synclavier Regen Demos (Stereo out/No EQ/No external FX added)

House 999

Smalltown Elephants were Steve Askew, Andy Fitzgerald, and Paul Turley.
The band were signed by Polydor Records in the summer of 1988, and soon after released debut single ‘Walking on Ice’.  Alas, the business end of things overtook them, and despite a support tour with A-ha on the UK leg of their world tour, Smalltown Elephants soon disbanded.  Footage of the band is notoriously difficult to come by, and despite the A-ha gigs being heavily bootlegged, nobody seems to have support slot recordings. The guys even got some VT airtime on ‘The Tube’ which again seems to be impossible to find.

I'm the Chris Lowe in your future synthpop band, but you haven't met me yet.

Tracks have some descriptions and details if you click on them
The weird numbers are how I remember what sounds are used in my head.




Sometimes I post things. I was never into sharing the things that I created. I love what I do, but nobody else really liked any of it. Also, I don't make music (yes, music will be posted here as soon as I am actually finally finishing tracks) for you or attention. I make it for me. 
SoundCloud recommends answering these questions so here goes:

Short (long) Bio?
Music to me is more like a massive collection of sounds. I honestly can't hear lyrics, just the spectra of the voice. I discovered synthesizers at age 6 and have been obsessed ever since. In high school and college I started buying up old 80s synths. At the time 80s music was pretty much laughed at and the thought of someone wanting a vintage synthesizer was silly. I couldn't afford a modern synth, so I bought what I could afford- cheap vintage synthesizers.

So...since I took electronics courses and developed a hobby of figuring out how things worked (building, designing, repairing, tinkering, etc) and that I've always had some coding randomness going on since I was 9. I decided I wanted more synths....so back to college for a CS degree and a career as a software engineer to support my quest for sound. 

What I want to accomplish here?
I wont accomplish anything. I've started recording for the first time in 10 years. My ex made this profile for me eons ago. I decided to start using it as I kept promising her I'd start recording.....sadly I never did that. I don't have the personality or musical ability to be a Youtuber so I don't mess with that. 

Synths:
I am obsessed with wavetables. I have a long list of wavetable synths including Wersis, a Keytek, K3, Wave2.3, ESQ, SQ80, Microwave IA, Microwave XT, M, Blofeld, Iridium, Hydrasynth, and then some. 
I always wanted the beautiful Lexicon reverb. I found a 300L broken and missing parts and restored it (the only way I could afford one). 

I love diving into the circuitry of these things. They're so fascinating. As prices soared, I found the best way to get something is to buy it broken and fix it myself. I was even once stuck needing a high powered logic analyzer, but unable to afford one- I bought a broken one and fixed it (that process was a horrific nightmare).

I listen to something and think it sounds cool....then go acquire it. I have everything from 40 year old analogs to hardware from 2022. About 80% of my stuff is from the 80s, though. If it's cool and I can get it for cheap, it goes in the synth rooms. I often buy broken stuff and fix it. I have around 70 synthesizers. I use a series of patch bays, Sycologic matrices, and routers to keep them organized. 

Personal:
I am very shy and try to avoid interaction with things that aren't machines. I am trying to inch out and see if I can share music. I have never let anyone; friends, family, romantic partners, etc listen to my compositions. I made a promise that I would try and put something out there....so sounds, phrases, etc will become tracks eventually.

Pics: 
Google 'synth studio'. Boom....You'll easily find studios with 70+ synths that are cleaner, more organized, better lit, and more interesting looking. There you go....the point of posting pics of my studio is moot.
