Sunday Synth Jam: This video captures a performance by Kebu, live at the Assembly Computer Festival at Hartwall Arena, Helsinki, 2.8.2013.
The tune, Le Carnaval des Étoiles, is from Kebu’s album, To Jupiter and Back.
Technical details:
The song was performed using only analog synthesizers, either played live or sequenced.
Equipment used in this song: Roland Alpha Juno 1&2, Juno 60, TR-808; Moog Source, Korg Mono/poly, Polysix, Poly 61; Jomox AirBase99, Touched-by-sound DRM1, Oberheim Matrix 1000, Yamaha RS7000 (only for MIDI sequencing), Behringer DDX3216, Lexicon MPX500, as well as a MIDI patchbay and additional preamps for my mixer.
Great stuff 😀
Is this for real?
Cool to see someone actually play live. It’d be cooler still if he got some bandmates!
Lots of physical keyboards, and playing them live. Well, cool. And it sounds like every hack POS electro track from the last twenty years. Props to him for playing the parts, but sorry, not impressed.
this is embarrassingly awful and deeply rubbish.
Why precisely is this embarrasingly awful [rubbish]? I had Kebu’s whole album on repeat for a long time simply because I liked how the instruments sounded. Kind of like the way I really liked how Random Access Memories sounded on vinyl (of course synthtopians trash that album too, but it sounds so good!)
