Moving On


video upload by Martin Peters

"The initial idea for this track is that it uses a 4 chord progression centered around the note E to give the music some variation. The chords are Em, C, C#m and D Major Add 9. I recorded several takes last week with a solo on the Minimoog but I was never satisfied or could not get the solo right. Last week I also got the Boss SY-200 Synthesizer pedal for I was curious what it could do. After using it a week I have got mixed feelings on the pedal but maybe I have got to explore it a little bit more. I am not a big fan of using guitars in electronic music, but in this video I use it for the solo part. It's not perfect but I wanted to get this track out and move on with other things, hence the title.

Anyways, the track starts with a bass on the Synthesizers.com, percussive noise from the Korg ARP Odyssey and a sequence from the Tom Oberheim SEM. After that sequences are added from the Weston Precision Audio PAO and Verbos Harmonic Oscillator Eurorack modules, the DSI Mopho, the Moog Prodigy and the Synthesizers.com Modular. The strings are from the Roland JD-800. The guitar solo is performed on a Gibson Les Paul Studio through the Boss SY-200 pedal with some 'Pat Metheny like' sound. Hope you will like it.

Translucent


video upload by Martin Peters

"Sometimes I get a melody or sequence line in my head and I record it humming in my iPhone. And sometimes I program that in the Cirklon. Most of the time it appears that it hasn't got the potential that I thought it would have. Then I start changing bits and then all of the sudden I think it is going somewhere. That's how this track was born and recorded in about 2 hours.

The track starts with sequences from the 4ms Ensemble Oscillator, the Tom Oberheim SEM and the Synthesizers.com Modular doing the bass-line with some randomness. After that a sequence on the DSI Mopho is added. An FM-like tone from the Waldorf Q Keyboard is used for the melody followed by the Roland JD-800 for some Fairlight-like chords. After that the Verbos Harmonic Oscillator doubles the sequence from the 4ms Ensemble Oscillator.The track is recorded live on the X-Live SD card of the Behringer X32 Compact and mixed afterwards in Studio One.

Lockdown


video upload by Martin Peters

"Here is a relative short track that developed yesterday. Yesterday, when in the Netherlands another Lockdown of 3 weeks was proclaimed. Anyways, I hope you are healthy and maybe this track will cheer you up a little. Five sequences are running on the Cirklon. The bass from the Synthesizers.com Modular and sequences from the 4ms Ensemble Oscillator, the Verbos Harmonic Oscillator filtered by the Mutable Instruments Ripples, the Tom Oberheim SEM and the DSI Mopho. The solo is performed of the Waldorf Q Keyboard and the strings on the Roland JD-800.

Clouds Forming


Martin Peters

"A couple of weeks ago I got my Oberheim OB-Mx back from repairs after it has been in repair for a year. There are 3 voicecards inside, each containing 2 voices, so it has 6 voices in total. But 1 of these voicecards could not be tuned anymore. The repair-shop could not find the problem so I still have 1 voicecard I cannot use.

Anyways, this video starts with the Oberheim OB-Mx having the VCA's opened playing a G minor chord. The Minimoog solo comes in and there is a sort of 'Shine On You Crazy Diamond' deja-vu. The Polymoog with the Behringer VP1 Phaser accompanies the Minimoog. After that some tones are added from the Synthesizers.com Modular, Oberheim SEM and Korg ARP Odyssey with the VCA's opened. Then the sequences start, adding the Joranalogue Generate 3 and Mutable Instruments Plaits. It all builds up to a climax where the Odyssey plays some notes. And after that it all fades out to nothing.

The track was recorded live to multi-track on the Behringer X32 Compact and mixed in Studio One afterwards. The mix only involves some gain staging, EQ and compression. No track edits where performed and no automation was used.

I hope you will enjoy it

Things2Come


Martin Peters

"I recorded this video on the 3rd of May. But I was not sure if it was good enough to share. Since then, I have grown to like it more and more. The songs is very melancholic and kind of reflects the mood I am in lately. The solo reminds me somewhat of Dave Stewart in his National Health years. The song is very basic with only 5 tracks: the bass from the Synthesizers.com Modular driven by the Cirklon sequencer, 2 sequences generated by the NDLR driving the DSI Mopho and the Korg ARP Odyssey, the strings from the Roland JD-800 also driven by the NDLR and the solo in the Moog Minimoog. The Cirklon clocks the NDLR and also sequences the chord and chord-type changes.

The track was recorded live to multi-track in Studio One and I did some little mixing afterwards. Hope you will enjoy it.

The track is uploaded to Bandcamp. Search for Attorks and you will find it."

Sadly Imperfect

Published on May 31, 2013 attorks·115 videos

"Now the Cosmic Nights event is over I have more time serve you, my dear viewers. The title refers to the somewhat sad music and the imperfect meter (3-3-2) used.

The music starts with an 16-step sequence on row 1 of the Doepfer MAQ16/3 driving the Synthesizers.com Modular. After that the bass from the self-built Modular comes in driven by an 8-step sequence on row 3 of the MAQ16/3. The solo is played with a percussive organ-like sound on the Roland XP-80. Then an 8-step sequence from the Synthesizers.com Q960 driving the fabulous and very versatile Rob Hordijk OSC HRM module is introduce (never mind that I forgot to set the switches to normal :-) After that some mellow pad is introduced on the Waldorf Q Keyboard and the solo on the Minimoog Voyager comes in. The 16-step sequence is then altered to row two of the MAQ16/3 to give some variation. An odd note is played on the Clavia Nord Lead 1.

Anne used my iPhone 4 to film this video. The audio is recorded live from the stereo main mix on the Mackie Onyx 1620 firewire card using Reaper DAW.

Simply Because

Published on Mar 6, 2013 attorks·114 videos

"It is almost 3 months ago since I uploaded my last video. I was very busy with the Beyond Berlin project. But I felt the urge to upload something. And then this came up last evening. Simple and pure, only 2 sequences, a carpet of sound and a modest solo. Hope you like it.

One 8-step sequence comes from the Doepfer MAQ16/3 sequencer and drives the Synthesizers.com Modular. The other 8-step sequence comes from the Synthesizers.com Q960 sequencer which drives the Rob Hordijk OSC HRM which is only modulated by an Q109 Envelope Generator for the VCA on it, so one voice with only two modules. The secret is that the gate of row 2 of the MAQ16/3, which also has an 8-step sequence with steps 2 and 7 off and runs half time of row 1, is used for the EG's and shifting the Q960.

The Chase

Published on Dec 15, 2012 by attorks

"Two weeks ago I bought a Moog Prodigy in pretty good shape. Since then I have cleaned the keys, key contacts and switches, I sanded and repainted the wooden parts, replaced the power elco's, drilled two holes to add CG/Gate-in jack busses and made the connection to the printboard and I tuned the VCO's. I may replace the trimpots for tuning with multiturn trimpots because tuning is very fiddly now and I don't know if the current trimpots are reliable. Anyway, after tuning the Prodigy and connecting it to the Q960 sequence I came up with this improvisation. So that's the reason you see the guts of the Prodigy. The Prodigy bass is very fat, perhaps a bit more fatter then what I can get out of the Modular. I very much like the basic approach of the Prodigy and the yet the variety of sounds you can get out of it.

The music starts with an 8-step sequence coming from row 3 of the Synthesizers.com Q960 driving the Moog Prodigy. After that an 8-step sequence from row 1 of the Q960 is driving the Synthesizers.com Modular. Percussive blips from the Waldorf Q Keyboard are added which are arpeggiated sounds synced with the MIDI clock from the Doepfer MAQ16/3. Then another 8-step sequence from row 2 of the Doepfer MAQ16/3 is added to drive the self-built Modular. Chords are played on the Roland XP-80 which MIDI-out is connected to the Oberheim OB-Mx so you hear a combination of 2 sounds when I play the XP-80 keyboard. The solo is performed on the Clavia Nord Lead 1. Anne used my iPhone 4 to film this video.

Point Of View


Published on Nov 17, 2012 by attorks

"Here an idea that popped up last Tuesday evening. In the beginning you hear a 9-step sequence from row 1 of the Doepfer MAQ16/3 driving 1 voice of the Oberheim OB-Mx. After that a 6-step sequence from the Synthesizers.com Q960 driving the Synthesizers.com Modular is added. Two-toned chords are played on the Waldorf Q Keyboard producing a phaser sound. Then the solo from the Nord Lead 1 is added and after that Mellotron strings from the Roland XP-80. The frequency of the MiniMoog and Oberheim VCF's on the OB-MX are opened up a bit using a Behringer BCN44 MIDI controller. And after that a 12-step sequence from row 2 of the MAQ16/3 driving the Self-Built Modular is added. Anne used my iPhone 4 to film this video.

You can download/see/hear the video and music from my website soon.

PS: I sold the Korg PE-1000 (great retro sounds but you cannot sustain them because it is a percussive instrument by design) and the Nord Wave (great machine if you are into sampling and I am not)."

Struggle


Published on Oct 20, 2012 by attorks

"Last week I bought a second hand Oberheim OB-Mx with 3 voice cards, so 6 voices. And no, I did not trade my Modular for the OB-Mx. The Modular and some other instruments are at my friends place because of the performance on E-Live on 27 October.
In the beginning you hear the Oberheim OB-Mx 6 voices with the VCA opened. Then some noise from the Waldorf Q Keyboard and notes from the Animoog App on the iPad (my favorite App until now). After some time the sequences from the Doepfer MAQ16/3 start. An 8-step sequence from row 1 is driving the Oberheim OB-Mx, Row 3 has an 16-step sequence with 4 steps active driving the self-built Modular doing the bass tones. Somewhat later row 2 is added driving the Nord Wave doing 2 tones. The Mellotron-like flute sound comes from the Korg PE-1000 doing a solo. After that you can hear strings from the Waldorf Q Keyboard. Anne used my iPhone 4 to film this video.

Pressure

Note this one is from 2010. I thought I posted it before, but couldn't find it. Click here for all posts featuring attorks.

"I don't like watching the world cup soccer so I am having a bit of fun with this improvisation. I only had the sequence dialed in and just made up the intro. Then I thought lets record a video. And this is the result which is all done in one take. I hope you like it. Rows 1 and 3 of the Synthesizers.com Q960 sequencer are connected to the Synthesizers.com Modular doing the high sequence. I alternate manually between rows 1 and 3 with the Q962 sequential switch. Row 2 is connected to the self-built Modular doing a bass sequence. Intro, outro and chord are played on the Waldorf Q Keyboard. The solo is performed on the Clavia Nord Lead 1 and the Mellotron strings on the Roland XP-80."

Anne


YouTube Published on Sep 7, 2012 by attorks

"It has been a while since I uploaded my last video for obvious and sometimes not so obvious reasons. But last night this dreamy piece came up and I want to share it with you.

The music is dedicated to my beloved girlfriend Anne. On 9/11 we celebrated our second anniversary together. She means everything to me and I hope we can live together for a very long time.

The piece starts with two 8 step sequences from rows 1 and 2 of the Synthesizers.com Q960 sequencer. The 2 rows are manually alternated using the Q962 sequential switch. Row 3 of the Q960 sequencer modulates the Ian Fritz 5Pulser. After that the Nord Wave comes in and then an 8 step sequence from row 2 on the Doepfer MAQ16/3 driving the self build Modular. The Pipe Organ preset from the Korg PE-1000 is used to play the chords. The solo is performed on the Nord Lead 1. Anne used my iPhone 4 to film this video.

YouTube Published on May 19, 2012 by attorks

"Here a little idea I had last night. You will here only 2 sequences. The first one is an 8 step sequence from the Synthesizers.com Q960 doing a deep synth-bass sound. Row 1 provides the voltage for the pitch, row 2 the voltage to modulate the VCF and row 3 the voltage to modulate the VCA. The second 4-step sequence from the Doepfer MAQ16/3 drives a bongo-like sound from the self build Modular. Strings are performed on the Roland XP-80 and the solo's on the Waldorf Q Keyboard and the Clavia Nord Lead 1.

The video is filmed by my girlfriend Anne using my iPhone 4.

"This video kind of starts where my last video 'Vernal Season' left off. It begins with a 4-step sequence on the Synthesizers.com Q960 with only step 1, 3 and 4 active on the Q963 trigger bus. During the song I alternate between the 3 rows of the Q960 using the Q962 sequential switch. The Q960 drives the Rob Hordijk OSC HRM, one Synthesizers.com Q106 VCO and the Ian Fritz Teezer Through-Zero VCO connected to the Blacet Miniwave. The Mellotron strings, played on the Roland XP-80, joins and after that a 4-step sequence on row one of the Doepfer MAQ16/3 driving the Creamware MiniMax ASB. An 8-step sequence from the MAQ16/3 driving the self-built Modular joins after that. The Klaus Schulze like S&H percussion comes from the Waldorf Q Keyboard. The solo's are performed on the Clavia Nord Lead 1.

Vernal Season


YouTube Uploaded by attorks on Mar 25, 2012

"The last few weeks I have been trying to make a video. Did many takes resulting in 3 takes which were acceptable but I was not convinced that one of the three was good enough. So this evening I decided to do something completely different which resulted in this improvisation. And I did this in 1 take.
The video begins with two 8-step sequences: one sequence on row 2 of the Doepfer MAQ16/3 which is driving the self-built Modular and one sequence on the Synthesizers.com Q960 which is driving the Rob Hordijk OSC HRM and the Ian Fritz Teezer Through-Zero VCO connected to the Blacet Miniwave. The bass is performed on the Clavia Nord Lead 1, the Mellotron strings sound is played on the Roland XP-80 and the Wurlitzer piano sound on the Waldorf Q Keyboard. Later on a 4 step sequence from row 1 of the MAQ16/3 driving the Creamware MiniMax ASB joins.

AKS Jam Session 18-02-2012


YouTube Uploaded by attorks on Feb 20, 2012

"On Saturday 18-02-2012 the living room of my house in Dordrecht was changed into a synthesizer Walhalla. That day my YouTube friends Skoulaman (Hans van Kroonenburg), KeesVangelis (Rene de Bakker) and me planned to get together to see if we can make some music. I know Hans for a few years now because I like his music on YouTube very much and we occasionally met at his place or mine to talk about synthesizers and make some music. I am a big fan of the music of KeesVangelis on YouTube and I met Rene last year at the E-Day festival in Oirschot. Hans was also there and we decided that we three should try to make some real live music without the use of laptops as most performers at E-Day did. We only did not know how to realize this because we don't live in each others neighborhood. And things got quiet then. At New Year 2012 one of my objectives were to see if I or the three of us could perform live at E-Day/Live sometime. So I mailed Hans and Rene to see what was possible. Because the three of us never played together we first wanted to see if we could cooperate to make music worthwhile. We did very little preparation for this session so it was a real jam session interacting to each other. And I think it worked out very well. This video was made at the end of the day and shows 3 ideas: at first a sequence of mine on the Doepfer MAQ16/3 driving the Creamware MiniMax ASB, second a sequence of Rene on his MAQ16/3 driving a Waldorf Blofeld and third an arpeggiator sequence of Hans on his Moog Little Phatty. Anne filmed the session using an iPhone 4. Hope you enjoy the video and music as much as we did enjoy that day.

PS: the laptop you see in the video was only used to record the music."

"I recently bought the Camera Connection Kit for my iPad and an ESI MIDIMATE II MIDI interface which has two cable which both can function as out- or input. And here a video using Little MIDI Machine sequencer App on the iPad. One ESI MIDI cable is connected to the Creamware MiniMax ASB which MIDI Thru is connected to the Waldorf Q Keyboard. The green 16-step sequence screen is driving the MiniMax and the orange 8-step one the Q. The second ESI MIDI cable is connected to the Doepfer MAQ16/3 sequencer to synchronize it. The 8-step sequence on row 1 of the MAQ16/3 is driving the Ian Fritz Teezer Through-Zero VCO which is driving the Blacet Miniwave. The 4-step sequence on row 2 is driving the self-built Modular. The gate of row 3 is shifting the Synthesizers.com Q960 sequencer which has an 8-step sequence for the bass with only step 1 active on the Q963 trigger bus and later on also step 7.
