NEW DESK, DAMMIT!

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?!”

FUN!
Korg Volca’s (3) Beats, Bass, and Keys with the Electribe Sampler.

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.

FUN!
Yay! More living room space and more toys actively connected!

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!!!!

MORE TO COME!!!
MORE TO COME!!!

Rain Keys

rainkeys

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.

Frank Gallagher (from Shameless) Gets It!

Frank Gallagher, from the Showtime TV show Shameless, describes the end of Racial and Religious differences.  The character can actually see into the future!  Although I think he is more current than most ignorant people realize.

This was all done on the Korg Electribe Sampler. (I haven’t given it a name yet. It’s labeled as Funk Ola1″ on the Electribe).

The track I made was influenced by the bass line in the following song by Kamasi Washington.
