Trying to be Harold Budd on the Kaossilator

If you use a machine to make synthesizer sound loops, some would right away revert to building a beat first.

But sometimes if you wash a bunch of random tones in reverb, loop them,  and audibly push them to the back, you aren’t bothered by the loop so much.

Here’s something I made tonite.  This was done live in real time on my new Kaossilator.

This is my impression of a quick stitch together Harold Budd ambient piano offering.  You can also here me screw with the patch settings on the device.  (This is the only time being an amateur really doesn’t sound that bad!)

Listen to the stream of it:

Another Interview with Musical Genius!

Another interview of a FAVORITE music producer. Trevor Horn of Buggles, Art of Noise, ABC, Frankie Goes to Hollywood, and a million other wonderful 80’s band speaks out about the artists he’s worked with, how difficult it was to make music before sequencers, and the trouble with buying weed in south africa.

A long but fun ride through the 80’s music scene and an early synthesizer pioneer with comical anecdotes and brilliant insights to music production and the music industry. It’s a long ride, but quite rewarding!
