Beautiful piece 😍 🙏 🍀 🎶 🎧 

Sounds great. Im playing on my phone. Bet it sounds really good on proper speakers

This one fairly bounces between my spears. Lovely,full warm sound,Sam.

In the listing "personas" are definitely missing KRAFTWERK... ;)

Oh, I see: they're under "Influences" :)))

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)

The summer is still in its Solstice. Have a warm day!

Fantasy is played on Maschine Mikro MK3 with pads and knobs. Only stock drum/bass, synth and the new polysynth. When Maschine software chocked on tracks and FX, rendered tracks into Ableton for tweaking, mixing and to play more embellishments with Polysynth as VST. Mastered with UAD, IK, and FabFilters. Fantasy will go to Uplifting Chillout album titled Love, some day, maybe. TNX!

This is what I do to recharge after week-long workday :) One hour session with Moog Subsequent 37 CV and Polybrute. Minimal improv analogue sequence. Each synthline is one-shots interactive recording into Live 11. FabFilters, UAD, IK mastering. TNX!

Bassline: Moog Subsequent 37 CV with filter sweep over two minutes take
Synthline: Polybrute tweaking filter, ARP gate, on-board Reverb 
FX: Polybrute tweaking VCF env, on-board BBD Delay, etc with Morphee
Drums: Push 2 with Kick 2 + Ableton Live 11 Perc

Office friendly. Lab Rat meditative. Chill hard and shine, fellow Lab Rats! 🐀

Played with Roland Verselab and midi driven, directly recorded Moog Subsequent 37CV.  Free download today. Lab Rats only :) 

Lab Rat cover art is made on iPhone with PhotoLeap app. Relaxing way to sign off from the works of a day and mess with pictures/layers/colors. Office picture copyright belongs to whatever-furniture-company, and the rats photo belongs to the rats..... or does it?

Night Happiness

“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:

Odyssey

One more tunetography. It's like photography, instead the visions is petrified directly into the notes. Fully made on iPhone with Korg Gadget app and ear buds. While riding a local train from Roma to Napoli to Pompeii. And back. After still hearing Vesuvio rumbles. Seeing this dude sitting now forever with clay pots and other artifacts. Therefore the track is also ending maybe without saying everything it had to s....

The Air. Thin and heavenly fresh .... or heavy supplying you with geoengineering chemtrails. Something we can't do without..... Two and a half minutes of intro? Why not! Stay inspired! Inspiration is what we need as air :)

The first track where I was using my Moog Subsequent 37 CV for real :) Tweaking filter and knobs, enjoying analogue vibe making. Lead synths coming out of the blue is Korg rendition of Odyssey on iPad. Most other sounds designed with Arturia's Prophet, DX-7, MoogMini, ARP2600, Solina, etc. Plus on board Ableton Wavetable synth and Max4Live devices. Mastered in Live 10 with IK Multimedia tools. Cover photo was taken somewhere above Atlantic. Cheers!

Stay safe. Stay engaged!

When I released this track with Flower Power album November last year, never knew that would post it to the purpose. Now in Spring 2020, last year news were a picnic! We were about Xmas, end-of-year bonus was coming, we were talking about Trump impeachment... good times indeed.

Never posted it though, always thinking maybe today is just enough sht on the news already anyways. Also did not want to post on any specific event. Hoping maybe tomorrow we'll get a relief with something more positive than today. You know that feeling - disturbed, confused, concerned...

When I was a kid always watched that World News TV programs. One from '70s had some special catchy vibe on the opening soundtrack (sorry, I pay attention to any music in any occasion which soundtracks our life, and it stuck in you). Something like that always keeps spinning in my head since. This track, as many, made from scratch on the iPad surface with the Korg Gadget app. Something in between TV news opening jingle and one of my fav songs ever Vicarious by Tool. 

And this photo. I took a shot of this storytelling red brick wall, eaten by salt waters and sun, photo in Venice. The wall on Fondamenta delle Zattere, location of Ospedale degli Incurabili.
