DATELINE: LOS ANGELES - SHELVED "MOVE CLOSER" TERRY DEXTER COLLAB. FINDS ITS VOICE

A Monte Neuble, Marc St. Regis, Kyle Kilpatrick Original, Based Upon Real or Imagined Events, Actual Friendships, and Relatively Fixed Key & Time Signatures.

The ‘3X is in ARP (filter) mode for most of Sir Monte’s regal & always earthy bass grease. Dude is too cold for Antarctica; once the red light is on, the funk electrons flow and float. Some of that empyreal Compton groove influenced my playing and arranging… thank tha LORD. While we’re on that subject, I (MSR) played the Clav & CODE in 1st vibe, the Roland Fantom 8 Brassiness in the Power Gospel section (still needs choir), 80% of the soloing, and a touch of the triple lead magic (Roland 24dB filter)found there. Monte manned-up on the voice-misleading Keys 1 chores on the “Equally Swing” Stage and his golden, two-handed touch reemerges for the Ballad vibe, preaching from the synth bass (yet again) with the fire and yowl of ages. Listen through for his silky Gino Vannelli-ish lead lines somewhere adjacent a faux ending/beginning.

All of the "sequenced" passages feature Kyle Kilpatrick’s suave programming, and lively SE-3X Continuous Controller contouring from Ableton (& Corona, CA). We tag-teamed the live tweaking, all of which was recorded for another project, but sounding like foundation on this bounciful groove. More Kyle soon to emerge. His straight 8ths against the wily swing strength of real playing is everything.

Primary Scenic Visuals care of our Webmaster, and erstwhile co-producer, Carlo St. Regis.

Enjoy,
MSR

Continuous Controller & Live Tweak, Part 2

This time out, the '3X Vulcan Mind Melds with our "Juno/Jupiter Modes & Mood" post of 4-6-2021: a CODEOmega filter workout. Drew Neuman's beastly Boomstar tom-tom fill (https://soundcloud.com/studio-electronics/drummed-up-basses) and select & sentient needle drops from "Family Herrre" (https://soundcloud.com/studio-electronics/family-herrre) take the starch out of the incipient sound collage collar. OK?

Enjoy,
MSR

SE-3X Paraphonic Gooseneck and Magnificent 3 Chord Monte in Eb Major

A CODE8 w/CS-80 filters gets the party started with bright and bratty horns—hard—like St. Regis used to sling in the ‘80s, via our fridge-sized RA-200, periodically rotating-speaker amp.

Greg St. Regs’ immortal patch #1 on the SE-02 then pairs and nearly overtakes the initial CODE bass work.

Shimmering CODE background colors and creations abound, including (but not limited too) cagey vocodering and gorgeous collapsing strings (nearly soloed at end in the Easter Egg hangover). "You'll see."

My vocal-eazy leads on the SE-02 channel Keys 2 genius and my good friend (ladies & gentleman), @monteneuble !

Boomstar Brotherhood Drums (SE-80 Chapter) created vast swaths of the root percussive elements—practically all, including hi hats; claps and rims not included. Blame sound wizard & partner-in-crime Sean Charles.

Some Brian Scroggins DMX/EMU Modular magic from a fruitless EMU/Fred Z/Grass Valley adventure, many decades/lifetimes back, swings in and out—Ishtar appearance as well. And I miss you brother. Avidly.

Stereo“Jaco” bass: CODE. Always juicy it is. 

Pocket "Princey" 80’s SEM-filtered chords (Abm to AbM) bounce & thrill. Celestial celeste and ancient tech Cathedral organ offer healing & wisdom ;) with bonus happy feet pedal board dance, tracked incongruously enough with one of CODE8's “Pigalle Party” patches. "A little spritz of water, a subway station, surrounded by bistros, Pigalle ... ." I'm thinking more Josephine Baker.

Guitar samples repurposed and reworked from our Modmax and Wolftone pedal demo archive; performances courtesy of Grecco Burrato, my elusive, but nevertheless marvelous friend.

MSR needle drops responsible for wildcard tones and pulses.
