Demain...

Future 80's rule! One synth only in its purity. New Synthwave track made with Arturia's rendition for Buchla Easel. I think its the most processor greedy soft synth I ever played. Worth it, rich in sound and possibilities. A single, sequenced synthline, quite automated, plus Ableton on-board 707 drum track. But lots going on inside the tool. Internal sequence is driven by a midi track as well. Only some FabFilter reverb applied, in places. And UAD Tube 610B, UAD 1176 for more analogue atmos. Mastered in Ableton Live with IK Multimedia and FabFilter tools. Had lotsa fun playing it. Hope you enjoy Synth-Meditative journey. TNX! 

P.S. This kind of flow, playing one (or two) hardware or software synths, tweaking and vibing, is the most fun for me lately. Because of the busy times - yes, but can do this for hours, days, years. Hope you find opportunities to connect with your creative side. Stay inspired!

Patrol (Single Soft Synth - Buchla Easel)

First tune I ever got public. Fast and fully made on the Korg Gadget app on iPad. Made the groove, beat and vibe. Pressed Publish from within the mobile app. Easy :) 

I was not thinking at that time the tune is about to open the most exciting musical endeavor ever. Much love and inspiration to all SC FAM!  <3

Sunday Thinker

Enfin de retour après quelques semaines compliquées.
Ce break m'a permis de me réinitialiser les oreilles et de finaliser cette compo "à l'arrache".
nouveaux outils pour le mastering... bof... pas convaincu.
Bonne écoute à toutes et à tous et merci pour votre fidélité.

Contemplations...

Dark Country Electronica blends the raw soul of outlaw country with the cold pulse of atmospheric electronic music. Tremolo guitars, dusty textures and jaw-harp vibrations drift through minimal, shadowy beats. It’s a sound shaped by lost places, empty roads and the weight of past mistakes. No sunshine, no Americana gloss – just darkness, grit and a quiet emotional fire.
This genre lives between ruins and neon, where analog twang meets digital frost. Slow, haunting, cinematic. Music for people who have lived, who have scars, and who still keep moving through the night.

The Dark SIde Beginning

“There is no island for your soul, there is only journey to it …“

Beat and synth played with Native Instruments iMashine2 4-track iPad app by taping on iPad surface. Plus my Yamaha bass and Fender Stratocaster for lead and licks. Recorded directly with Maschine MK3. The guitar effect if reversing guitar samples directly in Ableton, though I like jamn with reverse delay (like one can be found in Korg Gadget on iPad). The rest of prod and mastering is done in Ableton Live 10. Thanks for your support!   

The cover art is the portrait of a Big Green turtle who was chilling on a Island of Maui (Canon Rebel T4i, f/8, 1/400sec, ISO-100, 124mm. Lens Canon EF-S 18-135mm 1:3.5-5.6 IS USM).

Oh, yes... You probably noticed I am having much fun sharing improvisation, raw and work-in-progress jams on my @prockjet account lately. More will come. The base for this track was one of the Prockjets. That's the version of the track when it was just conceived on iPad iMaschine app:

Island

This is what I played on Maui. Hope it could pass along the island atmos and underwaters vibe. Did not try to replicate it though, it just came out.  100% Korg Gadget app driven by OP-Z by Teenage Engineering (no wires, midi goes over bluetooth). Unrefined, unmastered, direct upload from iPad micro-studio based on lanai somewhere on Maui. Aloha!
