maneka - "shallowing"

Cold Season

Originally built in 1938, Novachord 346 has proven to be a very special source of raw material for my sample libraries over the years. I recently decided to return to what was the first commercial sample library at the time to capture the beauty of this remarkable instrument and revisit some of the sounds I made shortly after I returned Novacvhord 346 to life back in 2009. This would not have been possible without the help, encouragement and skill of my late friend Stephen Howell known to most as Hollow Sun who I miss dearly...

All I Need w/ iogi

To my great relief the now 87 year old 1/4 ton, 163 valve (tube) beast came out of a five year long slumber not only without burning the house down but managing to survive a two hour long recording session without even breaking into a sweat.. the 7 rail noise-cancelling high-voltage power supply was barely warm by the end of it - just staggering really if you think about it!

Despite a ton of divider calibration issues and some dodgy tuning I managed to make it through the live recording in one take captured directly from the preamp output into just basic reverb with no delay or modulation effects added and no EQ applied.  A handful of edits and dubs were made mainly to smooth out the flow of things a little.

1938 Novachord #346: Beauty of the Beast.... (87 Year Synth in Action)

ASCII TRAX brings forward a new artist persona, DJ_W, dishing out a varied menu of house music treats.

Memory Bring Back - is a euphoric end of night club banger with sweet strings, catchy vocal snips and hands in the air moments.

Excuse me (weird) - Is a leftfield groovy house track, that is sure to make the hips a wiggle with its clicks and grooves, and slightly off kilter rhythm before it switches up.

Yellow Plum Jam - is a warm jazz house number, with sweet jam flutes on nicely made sour dough warm synth toast.
