Thanks For Asking (Don't Ask Mix)

What Is Real? (prod. chillingcat)

Tough, inventive, no-nonsense genre-bending hook-laden guitar-based multi-ethnic dance-music, that flouts convention.

MSR’s Needle Drops & Isos, Take 2

"I Think That Worked" (like most things until they don't)

Built on SE-3X extremely habit-forming, paraphonic chording throughout, and a legion of instant-grease 'n grind SE-02 basses. Why settle for just one (a question asked by men-y)?

SE-02 Chickin' Pickin' plays nice-nice with juicy bass figures (periodically staccato), which then feed into the faux multi-tracked '02 Wurli (right channel) and "the real thing" (left), punctuated by SE-02 Wormy Lead crew.

All of this happens in the 1st few bars, as you have now entered The Micro Musical Klymit Zone, potentially punishing with it's creative density and attention-to-detail demands, placed upon the listener.

Childhood Heirloom C7 processed piano 3 chord preach, births culminating paraphonic purpose and a frenetic '02 bass/Wurli combo orgone generation.

Enter vintage Grecco Burrato Modmax/Wolftone guitar magic (drips, drops & crunches), and absolutely adorable/incredible '02 LFO gate "Latino Tablino" electro percussion.

Additional miraculous SE-02 multi-tracked polyphony and SE-3X paraphony reveals and revels.

Percolating fake space ensues, interrupted by a booming' SE-80 kick to Super Hero soundtrack vibes—I did just get "Flashed."

Vintage St. Regis/Sembello/Neuble (Michael) 3rd Stone drop and you're almost home... "Groove" Campasso vox; easy with those dope chords.

Dreamy SE-3X surrenders to arpeggiated, mult-tracked SE-02 polyphony.

I Think That Worked

An autumn afternoon at the Champs de Mars by the Eiffel Tower in Paris. A red balloon makes its way through the September skies towards the infinite, across the oceans of water and time, through the distances of geography, dancing its dance over the clouds and painting a rainbow in the gray skies of autumn.

O Amor a Voar (G. Buratto)


Vai pelo céu 
Passeando no azul 
Vai voando rumo ao infinito 
Vai de encontro ao sol 
Num ballet pelo ar 
Meu amor a voar pelo mundo

Vai pelo mar 
Navegando ao léu 
Sobre as ondas do tempo, invisível 
Uma gota de dor 
Uma nau de papel 
Uma lágrima encheu o oceano

De beleza, de cor 
De tristeza, de amor 
Das lembranças que trago comigo
Das canções ao luar 
Teu olhar, Praia Mar 
De te ver num espelho sorrindo

Corações a pulsar 
Um balão a bordar 
O teu nome nas nuvens de outono
Corações a brincar 
Um balão a pintar 
Um arco-íris no céu de setembro

Foi meu amor 
Ganhou asas, voou 
Foi buscar o seu próprio destino 
Navegando no azul 
Sobre as ondas do mar 
Uma lágrima cai , infinita

É a beleza, é a dor 
A tristeza e a cor 
Das lembranças que levo comigo 
Caminhar ao luar 
Na cidade , o lugar 
Onde tudo teve seu início

Corações a pulsar 
Uma nau a bordar 
O teu nome no mar de Santiago
Corações a brincar 
Um balão a pintar 
Um arco-íris no céu de setembro 
Corações a amar 
E o amor a voar 
Pelos céus de Paris nesse inverno

SE-02 Factory Songs

Learned from a youtube video. Just had to learn it because it's such a great tune. It revolutionized my understanding of chords on the Irish BC accordion.

Metsakukkia - Finnish Waltz in Amin

Feel good vibes, the kind that'll walk you through a windows 95 installation without loosing your shit.  Where was thing track when it was most needed? 
- This is the backing track to one of the first in-house videos I did for Modal. (Covering Modal VST).

Tutorial

Having fun layering an assortment of patches I dialled into my 2004 Studio Electronics Omega 8..  

I have always liked the array of multi-mode filters this synth has to offer - it adds a great deal more sonic potential to an often overlooked and very capable analog beast.

NB:  Although it might sound like it, no phasers were used in this recording.. what you are hearing is copious use of the superb band-pass and high-pass filters in the Omega 8 being modulated by the LFOs.
