What Is Real? (prod. chillingcat)

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

Freer

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

O Amor A Voar

7-5-17 Update: Version 2! WITH MORE CHORDS (and one more faux ending)!

SE Design Guru Alumni, Justin Maxwell (https://soundcloud.com/senor-pantalones), crafted this TB-303 driven bassline/MIDI file magic for me, far too many days ago, and I have nearly emerged from my SE-02 cave/sometimes hovel; there was much to explore and pudding prove.

Stumbled upon my Uncle Mario being interviewed by my favorite cousin (Eve Rouveral) re. my great grandfather Pasquale Sceppacerqua's Prohibition-era garages, and the vibes were off to the races.

The bassline is cut and pasted from several takes—in my beloved Studio Vision "sequel" and altogether marvelous and inspiring Motu's DP9—and apart from various and sundry (words which always seems redundant to me) amplifications lying about in supporting roles on other tracks, it is straight out of the box, the SE-02 sounding not at all like a 303, but matching and leaping over periodically, that god-like classic's intensity and character.

The only drum/perc. sounds (sweetened by a few plugins) not coming from the SE-02, would be a few snares, and most of the hi hats—Boomstar SE-80 lays claim to those: hey the Boom* is not to be outdone in some areas, OK?
The "LP congas" which occurred rather spontaneously and cooperated nicely with my virtual tape razor deserve a mention...

Bit of a Harvey Mason/George Benson/"Weekend in L. A." groove and spirit breaks out underneath the initially Russian sounding, triad half step chordal passage... can you dig it? 

The pads (polyphonic) are SE-02 single and multi-sample Kontakt instruments. Really quite amazed how good the single stretches sounded. The multi flute-y pad is easily up to the challenge of good ol' American jazz and blues chords... the priceless multinational treasure of musician/creators of (and not of) this mysterious earth.

Leads: straight box/native FX with one or two 'verb exceptions.

Great depths to be mined in this SE-02—most of my pulls were from our labor-of-love them factory set. Patches every bit as glacial and tropical as our SE-1X standards. Was hard to turn the red light off Johnny.

A touch of L3—how much is too much? Not possible to find certainty in that area and so many others...

Uncle Mario on "The Payroll"

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

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.
