CODE & Omega

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.

Lasse J.'s Omega Tribute

Once again I’m on the inside — lookin’ out looking in.

SEM-filtered CODE Omega8 & @saintregis (Instagram) bring the water and its spirit to my eyes.

Single track purity, polyphonic power and purpose: sometimes it's disclosed like that.

Minimal sweetening, limiting and spot normalization, so do enjoy the wide dynamic range and culmination—now with bonus audio!

MSR Christmastime '22

CODEberheim 8

Freer

First solo Omega offering still sounds stunning 21 years later.

A few secrets, snips, reverses, in-song overlays, a touch of EQ, limiting, and “Gaucho” right-side-wet, make for a nice 90 (sec).

And yes that patch change madness was tracked in real time—sans punches.

Stock SEM & Mini SE filters…

Enjoy,
MSR

Phat Fu '23

Came across this dope Ebm @MonteNeuble SE-3X  bassline, in my needle drop travels, which I had to revisit and enlist in a pulsed paraphonic exaltation in DMaj; silky chord changes from “Onward Upward UFO,” a song written & produced in the late 1970s for the St. Regis brothers, by wonderful friend and Parcourse/health food store mentor, Norman H. Landsberg, assisted that sneaky downward modulation. 

The great James Levi (Herbie Hancock fame) and strongman Gary Calvin (on bass) kept the groove going at Bear West Studios in San Francisco—1st 24 track baptism, where “UFO” was recorded—and we brothers have tried to keep the funk analog ever since. Clavinet D6 is still with us: the one Norman unveiled at St. Regis & Leuenberger and taught us to play; ‘cause he was nice with it, "Cry Baby" style.

Celebrating his remarkable life earlier this month—brilliantly and with panache, thanks to Bob Yount (Landsberg & Yount) and Socorro!—brought his lovely spirit, song, and surprising, vast accomplishments to mind:

Founding member of Mountain, featuring Leslie West; Pointer Sisters MD—“Yes We Can Can…”, Lenny Willams (Tower of Power); sampled by Jay-Z (99 Problems), Kanye West, Tribe Called Quest—heard in films like "Barbershop" and "The Taking of Pelham 123.”

His group Hammer opened up for Leon Russell AND Miles Davis at Fillmore West… Wut!?!

“When tears come, remember brighter smiles can then show."

Miss them when they are here; that’s the Power of Love—which evrybody needs.

ADAGIO FOR FEEDBACK

I’d like to believe Samuel Barber’s Adagio for strings cast a tender shadow on these changes & groove of mine.

Listening to Bernstein’s baton as I write this…. glorious.

CODE8: Strings mainly recorded in mono—not sure why—stereo flute/vibraphone/celeste colors, Crystal Manson “horn” blasts, Monte Moir rhythms, locked-to-clock LFO pulses, band pass rebels, reversed and initially randomly-sourced passages. AND FEEDBACK!—Crunch chords for key-man on their black ’n’ white island.

Boomstar SE-80: Snares, perc.

SE-3X: Hats, big bass note.

Grecco Burrato: Unarchived ModMax Pedals-blessed guitars.

SE-02: Immaculate basses and leads.

Stay tuned for the Prequel.

Prequel And Adagio For Feedback

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.



Produced by Grecco Buratto, Marconi de Morais and Sandro Feliciano. 

Recorded by Benny Faccone and Mixed by Moogie Canázio.

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

O Amor A Voar

Factory songs recorded from the SE-02.  There are two songs total.

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

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.
