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
