Sunday Synth Jam: Synthesist Conny Johansson (Asteroid Killer) shared this live take on Koto‘s Italo Disco hit Visitors.
Here’s what Johansson has to say about the technical details of the performance:
In this short version of their great hit Visitors, I’m using the Carbon sequencer to sequence the bass. The different melodies was played live except the small counter part after the second main riff witch was sequenced on the MatrixBrute and started manually by trigger a key and stopped with a foot pedal.
Everything was recorded live in one go to Ableton. The reverb was added in post.
Bass – Moog Grandmother
Main riff – Roland SH101
Second and third melody – Moog Sub37
Counterpart to the third melody – Arturia Matrix Brute
Bridge to the break – ARP Odyssey
Drums – Roland TR707
Sequencer – Kilpatrick Audio Carbon
Reverb – OTO BAM
this is fakn ACE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Do we have Italo
Here Here
(I’m trying to work out Rose-Magic Carillon…very close)
I should do a Gruppo Sportivo cover some day.
Quite trite and somewhat trashy: electronic music is another thing, imho. This would make for a perfect soft porno background music, though.
That’s disco.
All that’s missing are white sequin gloves…..!
Top hats are under-rated.
Love the performance. Love the lights.
That’s a pretty flashy jacket there.
