Sunday Synth Jam: This video captures a live studio synth jam by MoonSatellite.
Here’s what he has to say about it:
Les séquences, SFX et nappes proviennent du P6 ou de l’OB-6. La basse du Minimoog Voyager.
Premiers essais avec l’OB-6 fraîchement arrivé au studio 😉
La vidéo ne correspond pas à la musique…
ah, mc-808 and mpc 5000. no desktop pc or laptop, nice.
Uses computer mouse in front of computer keyboard on the right at the start of video. Still a cool jam though.
he’s probably checking levels
That was as entertaining as watching someone sleeping. Yawn.
How did he get in there? Does he have to crawl under some stands?
Very nice.
I wonder how he gets in and out of that workspace..seems very trapped.
The emperor has no clothes…
Listening to endless arpeggios and droning chords only goes so far…
It started promising but unfortunately it just faded away… where is the composer’s input in all of this? Where is the melody line? Where are the dynamics? The ebbs and flows?
Most importantly… where is the MELODY????? All that gear … such a shame… yawn.
To each their own. Not every song needs a melody. I can get bored to tears listening to songs with melodies too.
if the jam was being recorded you could go back and restructure to make one valible
This is more like a go until tired music making where when you go back and listen might just find something to make into a regular song
something like Norman cook does
Electronic music is a very lonely world. I like the music (and I like this piece) but it is hard to find more than one musician at the same time, doing live work.
The sequencer killed the band.
and video killed the radio star
too soon?
Oh, yes indeed it did.
I’m old
“your surrounded”
actually doesn’t sound bad in this instance
Absolutely brilliant!!!! Thank you for a wonderful moment! This could be one of the better tracks on an album by Aes Dana, Carbon Based Lifeforms or the “Einlassmusik” by Schiller and also on a Jarre Album like Oxygene 7-13 from 1997. I wished on the new Jarre album would be a track like this. And the song has a development; great!
Pat Metheny’s keyboardist Lyle Mays popularized this sound – a hollow-sounding square wave with a soft tonality. Phil Collins for In the air tonight and Spandau Ballet for True both reportedly used this great analog synth for their pads.
