A lot of analog fun…

20. April 2011

I am always looking for great usable sounds and that search even made me build own synthesizers (out of modules - i didnt solder every component)

The big one is called DECADE COLLIDER, because it uses technology from the 70s (filters & oscillators), from the 90s (Roland JV Module) and modern parts (Clavia Nord Modular G2, sometimes i integrate my iPad and Plug Ins as well)

And i absolutely found my personal realm of analog synthesizer sounds. A lot of sounds used for THIRTEEN NIGHTS came from my DECADE COLLIDER as well as nearly any new “analog style” synth sound i am using right now for new stuff. This snippet is only three layered recordings of those sounds:

Status Quo

Next week i will finish my “remixes” - promised :)

This week i have been to a friends new studio, listening to the finsihed songs in a different enviroment, because i´d like to “master” those songs by myself this time…I even borrowed a very nice “Vari Mu” Compressor and am very happy with the sonic outcomings for now…
