Monotonic Labs U-73 and the "Secret Space Time Quartet"

Published on Oct 18, 2012 by TimeSynthis

"A short electronic piece featuring the theremin like sounds of the Monotonic Labs Type- U-73 (sorry not pictured here yet, but will so in future videos), playing over a scored section of heavy electronic makeshift pizzacato strings by an overdriven string section ("these are not even string patches" but parts played on an Ensoniq SD-1). The lo=fi sounds out of the SD-1 were made intentionally..by no means does it represent what the SD-1 sounds like with it's better patches!

'Scene: (In the year 2054) when the soloist U-73 player rehearses for a gig with a bunch of stuffy white shirt stringonauts on a space station'"

The U-73 is being driven by an ESQ-M. It's the raunchy theremin sound you hear throughout the track. The ESQ-M covers the electric harpsichord type sound at :22 that comes in and out through the track. Everything else is the SD-1.
