Sunday Synth Jam: This video captures a live performance by Kebu of AVICII’s Silhouettes at Assembly 2013.

Here’s Kebu’s explanation of the technical details:

My all-analog synth cover of AVICII’s Silhouettes, performed live at the Assembly Computer Festival at Hartwall Arena, Helsinki, 2.8.2013. Real-time computer graphics by VJ Julius Tuomisto and his Z Vector software. Many many thanks to the amazing crew at Assembly for not only arranging the concert but also filming and broadcasting the show (the whole show was streamed online in realtime)!

First time I heard AVICII’s “Silhouettes” (not that many months ago) I thought it was quite a good tune and really liked it. But when I added a JX8P to my live rig I realized that that tune would work great live as an all-analog synth tune. And it sure did!

The song was performed using only analog synthesizers, either played live or sequenced. The performance was recorded directly from the mixer to a stereo track and later mixed together with the ambience from the arena. A few mistakes have been cut out and replaced with the audio from a rehearsal take.

Equipment used in this song: Roland TR-808, JX8P, Juno 60, Alpha Juno 1&2; Korg Polysix, Poly 61, Mono/Poly, Micro-preset M500; Jomox AirBase99, Touched-by-sound DRM1, Oberheim Matrix 1000, Logan String Melody Yamaha RS7000 (only for MIDI sequencing), Behringer DDX3216, Lexicon MPX500, as well as a midi patchbay and additional preamps for my mixer.
