WMOM: Music of Magnesia
With the Korg MicroKorg Synthesizer Vocoder
That’s right. Got a Korg MicroKorg for a steal (I hope it aint hot) off of craigslist. Picked it up from a guy at the Tenleytown metro stop in a garbage bag, no manual, and no AC adapter. Seems a bit shady, but the thing works like a charm. I got a lot of learning to do but this thing is an arpeggiating monster. Listen to this shit!
This second one has more “verve”.
Gladys stomped on my gut at 7am and I couldn’t go back to sleep so I made this! It’s all Volca. I KNOW I KNOW I KNOW its the same bass line as the desk piece but its slower and there are 2 additional oscillator sequences on top. So DIFFERENT (extended middle finger).
Got a new desk today. Bought it at Target. It was called a “writing desk”. The guy at the check out counter said, “New writing desk eh? Doing some writing?”
I said, “Nope! Proppin’ up some synthesizers.”
He said, “Oh! Musician?”
I said, “Where?!”
Got it all set up, wired everything into the little black 4 channel rolls powered mixer (in the upper right) and marveled at how much living room space I have reclaimed because of the new desk.
I connected the sync cables for the 3 volca’s. I have not synced them to the electribe YET. Just for giggles to test them out, I hit play on the pattern on the Beats, then play on the pattern on the Bass and was amazed at how the 2, completely independently created Beats and Bass sequences, magically worked together, now that they were sync’d for the first time. I did a corny key’s diddle on top just for fun’zys. Check it out! It’s called Ode To A New Desk.
Like they used to say on the Tonight Show with Johnny Carson, More to Come!!!!
Keith Emerson has passed on. This personally hurts as I’ve been an avid fan since I was around 8 years old. I’m too hurt at writing to elaborate.
Honor by listening.
Nothing and nobody like Keith Emerson on a keyboard. Nobody!
Listen to the samples of the 3 Korg Volca’s below this post then vote!

Might as well get it all out of my system…
Just cuz I can! BLOW YER FREAKIN MIIIINNNND MANNNN!
Using the Orion Sound Module v1.1 for Win 10×64 VST on the Frost Piano setting soaking wet in haunting reverb. The rests were intentional in places, and in other places to change the setting. Neat sound. Better in headphones. Fun to play. Lonely, big, wet, grey, rainy.
This is one of my ALL TIME FAVORITE Sergio bits:

And, of course (for those who know me), I could have died a happy man if I saw this live:
