Doepfer Dark Energy…

The Doepfer Dark Energy is a small semi-modular analog synthesizer and was one of my “self given” christmas presents… its a little box with knobs which really invite to modulate sounds… but its only monophonic (one “voice” only)

Doepfer Dark Energy

So i played around with a little sequence, plugged in the output of another sound-source and recorded five different tracks with heavy modulation…

Then i added some “classic” progressive drums and percussion, some effects… i had an idea for a sample as well, which lead to the title “SECOND TIME”, but i wasnt pleased with it yet… but as an instrumental its quite enjoyable i think…

    Sound little reminds me like Kai Tracid - Life is to short (rmb remix) and Controlled force Mission Horizon album, just little :), but I like this Club sound, sound more serious, I like beats who just going and going, never stop, no big brakes in song!!! Just blow my mind :)) :D

  14. 12is Says:

    Wo ist denn die Melodie? Während des Breaks dachte ich die ganze Zeit, dass es danach so richtig losgeht. Aber Pustekuchen. Soundtechnisch natürlich wie immer hervorragend.

  15. Tony Says:

    Klingt natürlich soundtechnisch wieder hervorragend, aber musikalisch etwas…monoton. Glaube, dass hat Rolf in wenigen Minuten zusammengebastelt. ;-)

  16. plo!ng Says:

    Nice! I also miss the melody but still like it!

  17. entropy Says:

    Boooh, melodies are so 90-ish! ;)
