Synthesist Matt Johnson (Jamiroquai) shared this video, featuring a few ‘ambient jams’ on the Groove Synthesis 3rd Wave synthesizer.
Johnson describes the 3rd Wave as a ‘dream machine’, and the video lets you see some of the things that make it a compelling synth – including the scale of the keyboard, the immediacy of the hands-on controls and how it can sound great in the right hands.
Matt’s jam would be nice on a Vangelis tribute album.
Definitely – it was interesting to hear him go there. I’d also just take a whole album of Matt Johnson synth demos. They’re exceptional.
how it can sound great in the right hands, indeed
also nice to hear it against other instruments like the vintage vibe (?) and moog one
