Mamoni by Pega Loca A couple of weeks ago I shot a music video with Pega Loca, a Dutch acoustic band, with whom I have worked before. As they want to play more live gigs, they wanted a good video to attract attention and to be able to show what they are capable of. In the […]
Vintage analogue synthesizer I have this Akai VX600 6 voice analogue synthesizer which I really like. It sounds great, has an auto calibration function and features an elaborate modulation matrix. I bought it used from Rob Papen sometime in the 90s, so this synth is almost 30 years old but still going strong. The original display […]
Yesterday evening I created a glitchy groove on my home build modular synthesizer and Midibox sequencer which you can see and hear below. I used 4 audio tracks for this live recording. One for the drum sounds from the Arturia Drumbrute (MIDI clocked by the Midibox sequencer) and the other 3 for the modular synthesizer […]
