What Is Real? (prod. chillingcat)

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

CODE Luxe maiden voyage with periodic bassline & lead support from SE-02 and Tonestar 8106. 32 hardware filters: Mini 24dB, Obie 12dB, 8106 24dB/6dB, CS-80 holding court.

The initial horn blast benefits from a touch of our new Wavefolding circuitry as does that crisp and retro electric Harpsichord (think Elke String Machine).

Salvation Pads' borrowed "Melotron" patch (now in ROM) manages to survive persistent '02 bass and Tonestar punctuation.

A more subtle and musical "DRIVE" (formerly "fuzz") brings the warmth/grunge—you can hear it on the cheeky combo/YC-45-ish organ break.

Flutey, Fluttery, Dmaj7, is accented by the lone and lovely surviving reed patch, in our new feature reworked ROM banks.

Brassy/stringy lushness feeds the Wavefolded, Big Ben chiming and descending melody accenting.

Not sure which one of the discrete filter banks sweeps and lashes out in the culmination... but it is glorious, especially when complemented by Tonestar sub-bassing and operatic SE-02 leading.

Our new folding certainly mirrors hybrid synth tones, with its digital-esque shimmer and clang.

Same discrete SE Analog warmth and heft underneath it all.

Retiring the Ext Inputs freed up 4 CVs to control Feedback, Wavefolding, HPR (hipass resonance) and HPF (hipass cutoff) internally and via MIDI.

Enjoy—repeated listenings I hope,

Rhapsody In Luxe

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

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.
