[Suck Puck Recordz] Kick dat Bass [SPRING BREAK VA vol.2]

Cytadela - level select

Started out here: https://soundcloud.com/studio-electronics/code-filtered-theriots?in=studio-electronics/sets/code-omega

Haunting and expansive CODE Omega performance with ARP and Juno/Jupiter filters caught imminent co-producer Carlo St. Regis' ear. A steady groove with the main triplet motif as bedrock was requested.

This is where we ended up.

CODE Omega: See above.
Drums: Boomstar (Brotherhood*) SE-80, 5089.
Basses: 99% SE-3X (Moog & SEM), 1% Sampled Sensei Analog (Boomstar Modular) 
Leads: SE-3X (Moog & SEM)
Paraphonic Chords & Colors: SE-3X (Mood & SEM)
Human Voices: Nada (surprisingly).

No Fuzz was used or hurt in the recording process.

Easy to see why the '1X was the near secret weapon of the 90s and decades beyond for hitmakers, film composers and Sound Designers: it's got that bump 'n' thump and higher frequency clarity and warmth. Near impossible to stop layering & leveling-up with this beast. Her vibrations are so very satisfying...

But there are other mountains to ascend.

Enjoy,
MSR

p.s. This data compression up here... sad.

The Great '3X

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

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.

Best,
MSR 12-5-24

Mosquito in a Speedo

good times

Hotel

君は今日も1人Hotelで暮らす
君は今日も1人Hotelで暮らす
夕陽が差し込む
部屋で1人本を読んでる
君は明日に溜め息をつきながら
1人coffeeを飲んでる

dirty dirty angel
君は今日も1人Hotelで暮らす
dirty dirty angel

君は部屋の落書きに
また文字を加える
誰も読めない
不思議な文字を加える
そしてたまに
近くの海へ出かける
夕陽が綺麗な賑やかな場所で
死んでみたいと思っている

dirty dirty angel
君は今日も1人Hotelで暮らす
dirty dirty 
君の話を誰も聞こうとはしない
dirty dirty 
angel
angel
angel

君は今日も1人Hotelで暮らす
君は今日も1人Hotelで暮らす
夕陽が差し込む
部屋で1人本を読んでる
