murmuration - op1, rhodes, denon3700.


Finally got the Rhodes down to Manhattan for repair at the Analog Lab (not before recording some bits for this track!). It was great to see the shop, they have so much amazing stuff in there... Saw the farfisa organ I almost got and they had a sweet looking mellowtron too.

I also am testing out a denon3700 and trying to brush up on my terrible scratching technique. :) Only got a few nights in to practice, but it was a lot of fun.

a bit of a break from the 86bmp marathon I was on.

overunder - Op-1, Rhodes



Fifth in the series, I am really have'n a blast with this. Put a switchup into the middle. Again, the keyboard is my broken Rhodes (repairing soon!) and the the rest is op1 - all is composed and edited strictly in the op1 and dumped to youtube etc.

clouds - Op1, Rhodes



I got hold of an old Rhodes54. I've been waiting about a month for it to come in and it finally arrived today!!  As suspected its in need of some TLC....  a couple of keys on the low end are pretty messed up and inside there are some tines out of alignment, but I went ahead and made a track with it anyway. The sound is great and its nice to have a  keyboard I can play with 2 hands! I will have a lot of fun learning to play on this thing. :)

viewport - Op1



3rd in the set, another practice of work flow and stuff. Feeling like i am pushing it a bit too much, and the first track of these was a better balance. Def still finding a line to draw on that...

afteryou - op1



Another messy track, just the way i like 'em. I think I went a bit too distorted on the bass. With the work flow I am using, its very easy to go too far. Live and learn....

Unclear : Op1



Working on a new style. It turned the closest so far to what I was trying to do. Getting things to sound mushed together was a lot harder than keeping it all separate, lots of layers and editing. I want to try and make more tracks like this and get the process under control.
