One Of Our Agents

An experimental composition using synchronised sequences whose lengths are derived from prime numbers; 3, 5, 7, 11 and 13. The sequences are fragments of a C Major scale, all ending on the same highest note. 

Past My Prime

Another experimental piece based on prime numbers, The notes of a C7 chord (C, E, G, Bb and C') are repeated with spaces forming sequences of 3, 5, 7, 11 and 13 beats respectively, weaving a complex pattern that seldom repeats exactly.

Programmed using a Korg Volca Keys synthesisier and recorded on a Fostex MR-8 digital multi-track.

Primal Dance

A cover of Gershon Kingsley's iconic instrumental "Popcorn", played using sounds from a Korg Volca Keys synthesiser and a drum track programmed and arranged on a computer.

Popcorn

A blues improvisation... with a couple of Korg Volca Keys synths thrown in! The Wurlitzer piano is from a Nord Electro 3, the bass is a Stagg electric upright and the drums were programmed in HammerHead 1.0.

Volca Shuffle

Hello guys,
wir melden uns zurück mit einem brandneuen Podcast!
Frank Tijs hat uns für diesen Donnerstag ein Deepes und entspanntes Set zurecht gemixt.
Crew technisch ist er bei den Jungs von Sang&Klanglust zu verorten. In der Vergangenheit war er auch schon öfter bei Post Paradise zu bestaunen. 
Es ist Sommer. Für einen Großteil von uns die schönste Jahreszeit des Jahres. 
Alle sind motiviert und haben lust etwas zu Unternehmen. 
Die Clubgänge werden seltener. 
Man sitzt lieber gemeinsam im freien, schwimmt oder lässt sich treiben zur Musik.
In dieser Jahreszeit vergessen wir für einen kurzen Moment unsere Probleme und Sorgen.
Die Sonne brennt mit lodernder Inbrunst und das Licht scheint hell gegen die Gläser der Sonnenbrillen.
Augenblicke wie diese müsste man in ein Glas Honig füllen und in schlechten Zeiten einfach den Deckel aufschrauben und einen tiefen Atemzug nehmen.
Fortsetzung folgt wie gewohnt in 2 Wochen <3

3 QUESTIONS to DANIEL NITSCH:

Q: Your mix is full of great storys. Tell us about how these tracks had an influence on your career?

A: I must confess that I was a HipHop kid in the early 1990s. WuTang, PublicEnemy, BeastieBoys (alltime heroes!), basketball, graffiti and gentle attempts to breakdance - that was my life. I can remember very well how I listened the anthem of "Planet Rock“ for the first time on a tape. Oh my - that has blown me away and it was on repeat for the following weeks. In these days I didn’t play records but I listened to different styles of music. I believe that the sound of this time influenced me a lot. In the middle of the 1990s I started DJing and producing. Just in the beginning there was Classic House and Electro where I still can find a soft spot today. It’s great that artists like Steve Rachmad, DJ Hell, The Hacker but also Daft Punk, Steve Bug and many many other are still inside our scene nowadays. There are so many classic songs which you can find from time to time inside my case.

Q: You are 50% of the famous duo THE GLITZ. But what´s musicially the difference between that and your solo project?

A: I´m quite sure that people who know "The Glitz" and who know my solo project "Daniel Nitsch" will hear that very fast. For me "The Glitz" is an exciting and fantastic common project by Andreas Henneberg and me. We both came from different musical fields and have completely different influences in music. Somehow we found a way and we got the luck that we develop an own sound where we can suprise us every time in the studio or on stage. For many people "The Glitz" stands for a kind of peak-time sound which gives you a positive vibe. It’s not important which sound we make together but it’s important that we can smile and have fun. And about my solo project: I would say that mostly I´m a collector and selector and as music junkey always in search of new music which delights me without building musicial borders. You can find sudden changes in my sets - Acid House coming after HipHop or a Delsin-Record follows an old Funk-Song, having finally an 1980s Ambient-Song in the end - all is possible. But for sure I pay attention on the crowd and try to have a good harmonic night with them. Also for my productions I worked a little bit different and float sometimes for days in any soundscapes or I make musical journeys for myself.

Q: Which Daniel Nitsch activities/projects can we expect soon?

A: At the moment I work a lot of for my new own label FeelRawAudio. As artists I´ve joined the crew „Feines Tier“ from Cologne two months ago - really exciting artists and DJs. Also there will happen some more in the next time. I think until the end of the year you can expect a new solo vinyl and remixes from me. But let´s take it easy as I´m quite relaxed about it.

Deep & Eclectic 133

Korg Volca Keys played from full-size MIDI controller
Bass guitar
Melodica
Treble (alto) recorder
Stylophone Gen X-1 synthesiser

Sunset From The Monorail

Hobo Ken comes from New Jersey, but he hangs out on the Galactic Monorail.

Synths are Korg Volca Keys played from a full-size MIDI keyboard and Stylophone Gen X-1, bass is a customised Squier P-Bass Special, and harmonica is a Thomann chromatic.

Hobo Ken From Hoboken

Stylophone S2 takes the lead, backed by programmed drums, melodica, double bass and ukulele.

Toucan Tango

Spike is our lovely but very lively cat. This tribute (in 5/4) uses drums programmed in Hydrogen, double bass, Pianet and organ (without rotary speaker)

Spike's Theme (Leaps And Bounds)

Percussion loop programmed in Hydrogen, with nylon-string rhythm guitar, electric upright bass, Stylophone Gen X-1 and Mellotron strings.

Spinnaker

J S Bach's "Jesu, Joy of Man's Desiring" played in real time on two paraphonic analogue synthesisers from one keyboard.  A Behringer Neutron is handling the highest and lowest notes, and passing on other notes via MIDI to a Korg Volca Keys in 3-voice paraphonic mode. The Korg is producing a filter-swept, percussive tone, while the Neutron has a powerful sustained sound. Reverb was added afterwards in Audacity.

Bach1

The 1923 jazz standard, using the Behringer Neutron analogue synth for the two solo parts, backed by acoustic archtop guitar and double bass.

Tin Roof Blues

Abbreviated version of George Frederick Handel's Hornpipe from his "Water Music", played in real time on synthesisers.
Synthesisers are:
Yamaha Reface CS
Behringer Neutron in Poly mode

Handel

Another Baroque-style improvisation, this time using two Behringer semi-modular synths, a Neutron and a Crave, patched together to create a 3-oscillator, two-filter monophonic system, with the resulting sound fed into the Neutron's analogue delay to provide incidental harmonies.

Gavotte

"Jingle Bells", played using nothing but a Behringer Crave analogue synthesiser and an electric upright bass.

Jingle Bells

A collaboration between myself (Behringer Neutron without external controller) and my elder son Thomas (electric guitar, fretless bass, drum programming). The synth and guitar were recorded in a single take, with the Neutron's LFO synced to the drums within the DAW, and then the bass was overdubbed and the drums edited.

Exploring The Abyss

I'm a self-taught multi-instrumentalist living in London, England. My main instruments are keyboards, bass guitar and double bass, but I also play electric and acoustic guitars, ukulele, 6-string banjo and chromatic harmonica, and I will have a go at anything else that makes a noise.

My musical roots are in the Blues, but my recordings range in style from country to punk to experimental, with bits of funk, jazz and retro movie soundtrack thrown in. And hopefully a bit of humour...
