I did not do myself any favors with the syncopated synth messing up the timing. But what it gave me was a very cool result where the played melody had different intervals (?) each time, making it less predictable. As always, the Moog Subsequent 37 delivers!

I really messed up the cameras this time. I accidentally permanently deleted this footage from my phone and I set one of the Lumix cameras way too dark. Beyond my colour grading skills. The jam itself went ok, lost count somewhere but overall not bad. I like the rolling / thundering sound of the kick. And luckily…Read More

I was experimenting with a new arp plugin, it did…ok. Maybe I picked the wrong sound. Something pluckier would have been better. Anyway, very happy with the kick and overall kinda industrial vibe overlayed with lots of synths. Oh and I somehow forgot to play the Sub 37 after those first couple of notes 😶. So the…Read More

Not entirely different, but a clear cut melody line (or hook) is not something I do a lot. It came out really nice if I may say so myself. Layering the synths gives this huge sound that I like. Cool one.

One of our best ones yet. The track kicks, sounds and melody are pretty on point and Inge is on fire! Had fun creating this one and recording Inge afterwards. Yeah I know, not entirely live but hey there’s always next time.

I decided to leave an unquantized loop in the Pulsar-23 as it was for some weird texture. Not sure about the outcome, but hey, here it is!

I don’t know, it sounds a bit lighter and more mellow. So I’m calling it spring vibes. Really no special idea behind that, it’s just how it came out. On the video part, I experimented with LUTS for the first time and got an old graphics pack working (I messed up the font installation somehow), so I hope there’s going…Read More

It could have been heavier if I had added the MS-20 as a third melodic layer, but it was on bass duty. The melody can be a bit hard to follow. I was playing both synths with the Push 2, just noodling away without a metronome or counting and suddenly this melody popped out. So I recorded it and there it was.

Well, all the sources are analog. Of course there’s fx and mixing/mastering. It came out fine. Not the greatest, but still fun to do and play. Apparently sunlight is the enemy for one of my cameras. I will have to check the settings. I’m not an expert, more of a ‘set and forget’ guy when it comes to filming. I have no…Read More

“Vrij” means Free. We thought it would be cool to record something in Dutch, so we did. And honestly I think it’s one of our best ones. Enjoy!

I’m continuing on the more clear cut melody path. This time a bit more call & response. A couple of riffs and melodies and a beautiful Prophet 6 with what I can only describe as a sea of pads. But, but most fun thing are the drum and chant samples. I recorded it on my phone a couple of week ago during an evening of…Read More

So, here’s what Chat GPT came up with:

🎶 **Live Music Performance | Industrial Melodic Techno in a Home Studio** 🎹🔊 Welcome to an immersive journey into the world of **Industrial Melodic Techno**, straight from the heart of my home studio! Watch as I craft a unique live performance with a blend of analog synths, cu…Read More

Yes, we are back! I wish I could say it was great recording, but we had to record 3 times due to technical issues (and a dumb mistake by me selecting the wrong channel to record). But we got it done. The process was as fun as ever.

Exploring the rougher side of the SOMA Pulsar 23, but with the melodic touches you’re used to from me. I was a little frustrated because Ableton decided to crash, the recovery didn’t work and I forgot to save. So I lost a couple of hours and had to start all over again. Still a pretty cool result, considering the…Read More

It’s not entirely different form my usual jams, but it certainly has another energy. Much more percussion and drums, so more like the tribal techno from the beginning of the ’00s. But with a dark twist from the moody en growling Sub37. Man that thing bites. SOMA is also represented with the Pulsar 23 and that ‘sheeny’…Read More

Again, no such luck combining our schedules, but Inge could make it in afterwards to record something. I’m not a recording engineer, we are not professionals and this was out attempt at creating doubles. Which is pretty hard to do if you improvised. So, with a little bit of software magic and an, in my opinion, cool…Read More

At over 100 jams I’m beginning to lose all creativity for catchy titles. So yes, it’s techno, it’s relatively hard (the Pulsar 23 does the heavy lifting), it’s analog (except for some swooshes and a choir sample in the break). So as usual, enjoy, I most certainly did. Finally somewhat happy with the camera angles. I’m…Read More
