Dave's synth experiments

[Dave S]

Yo Music Bar, it's been years!

I'm just stopping by to post some music.

Here's the whole playlist of four tracks made in one evening - 
experiments in non-perfectionism and a rapid creation process, with a 
computerless mini studio setup. I'm aiming for half an hour per track 
until recording it, including programming the synth patches!

The aim is to just get back into this, with a view to maybe doing a gig 
at some point once I have enough material to make it work.

Tracks made with Yamaha AN1x, Korg Electribe ER-1 and Korg Electribe 
EA-1, mixed through an Alesis Multimix 8 USB straight onto a Tascam 
DR-05 audio recorder. No PC used! Some sequenced elements on the 
Electribes, the rest of it just jammed... mistakes and all!

Rules of production: no laptop, create new sounds, improvise with them, 
practise a little bit, manual fades, record soon, one live take with no 
edits, no post-production or mastering, publish immediately, move on, do 
a little bit every day...

Track 2 (playing with one homebrew AN1x patch) and 3 (quite danceable) 
are my favourites. But it was all fun!

Cheers,

Dave
