Pulled up the old Korgs and came up with this rolling minimal techno pattern, may it be called "Analog Aura". The Monotribe was btw my first ever synth and it's still a beast 🎛️

The samples feature some of my field recordings such as birds singing and the hi-hat that is made from the sound of me stepping on snow ❄️🐦

I routed the Keys and Montribe to the inputs of my Digitakt in the mono split mode, added a bit delay & reverb and recorded the mixdown  straight from the Digitakt.

Gear used: Elektron Digitakt, Korg Monotribe, Korg Volca Keys

Analog Aura

This was probably my most interesting & experimental live set so far. Also most fun to play. A downtempo vibe between 110–115 bpm with an ambient soundscape combined to minimal, rhythmic and repetitive techno patterns. 

Samples feature field recordings of eg. singing birds, shakuhachi flute, 3D printer sounds, creaking locks & doors from the venue (an old mental hospital), traditional Chinese sayings/songs and sounds of snow & water.

I played the set with a bit different setup, pairing the Digitakt only with Korg Monotribe & Volca bass.

The event was called Mental Hygiene, hosted by a collaboration of artists in a refurbished and converted art space in a historic old mental hospital in Helsinki. There were a number of artists performing live experimental music, dance, synth performances and DJ sets. That gave me the opportunity to try something more experimental as well 🧠.

CONVENTION

In this techno set I returned to some familiar sounds & textures and went on a hypnotic journey, delving into the patterns and jamming along.

The root for the set was one of my Jamuary jams where I tried some shakuhachi samples for the first time and dived deeper into longer jams: https://youtu.be/3AA6EHppTuw

This was also first time I got to play at an actual venue: at SHADES club in Lepakkomies, Helsinki. And what a joy it was!

Gear used: Elektron Octatrack, Digitakt, Syntakt, Analog Heat mk2, Korg Volca Bass and FMR RNC
