Just

time keeps flowing, like
water in a mountain
stream. |

It's
been a long time since I
did any work in the
studio. This is just a fun
little track created while
hooking up the studio gear
after moving to
Michigan. |

Trying out how the new
Alesis Andromeda analog
synthesizer sits in a mix
with the other synths. For
some reason this simple
demo received a
positive response from
several people. |

A friend asked about using
an arpeggiator to create
more complex sequences
rather than the usual
up/down patterns arps are
known for. So, I fired up
the Virus b synthesizer
and created this little
demo. There is no lead
lines, just some looping
arps and drum patterns.
Something fun:
Using my new Sony Handycam
I recorded some video from around my
house (studio, aquariums, waterfall,
etc.) and used Autonomous Arps as
the soundtrack. It's not very good
but was fun to create:

This is one of my favorite
sequence/lead combinations
I had created to this
point.
Unfortunately, I never managed to turn it
into a finished track, and
have since sold off all of
the gear used to create
it. |

A wonderful person and
excellent sound designer
from the EX5 community has
fallen ill and each year
the group members do a
tribute CD for him using
the sounds he created for
the EX5 synthesizer. This
was the start of a track that unfortunately was
never completed for the
tribute. |

A short sequence using the
Evolver's onboard
sequencer. Each of the 4
Evolver voices are
sequenced separately,
along with the noise
source. This allows a
5-part real-time mix
created on a monosynth!

A fun melodic excerpt
played live (no computer
sequencing or recorded
tracks) using the Nord
Rack 2 and Waldorf XTk. Several people have said
it reminds them of vintage
Commodore 64 game music. |

A
quick audio capture of
some trance inspired

the studio.
The lead sound was what I
liked about this one. This
is the only recording I
did with the Quasimidi
Rave_O-Lution 309. |

While testing a new
studio configuration I
used the ancient Roland
MKS-7 module and came up
with this short sequence.
The MKS-7 is quite
limited, but it can sound
interesting when tweaked a
bit. The drums in this
clip are provided by the
Korg ER-1. |

Playing around in the

this frantic little

strings. Sometimes I seem
to have no control over
how tracks evolve, they
take on a life of their
own. |
