Some music i put together a while back, some of you have heard some of it and liked it so decided to throw up a lazy video showing some of the gear i used to compose it…, studio too hot this time of year and I need to reflect on the use of software .. Oh and some pics of the kids at the end lol:)…gear list
Piano (s)- Ensoniq and juno G
PWM lead- Albino 3
strings -microkorg
choir and acoustic bass- korg x5
arpeggio- albino3 VST
seq bass and other arpeggios- juno 6
lead in second part and filter sweeps- juno I06
sequencer and cs80 brass - ensoniq esq
recording- ableton live 7

One Micromoog, one effects processor, one multitrack program. No mixer, no midi. The name of the track is “Don’t Complain.”
I fixed the audio problem I had. Nerovision only works correctly in PAL now. Pic is my 70’s Moog atop my 70’s car.

Jean Michel Jarre’s Chronologie 6 played on my portable Eminent 310 and Reason 4. The Roland Juno106 is just used as MIDI keyboard.

Mathew Jonson was kind enough to film this tour of his Berlin studio to compliment our in-depth interview with him: http://bit.ly/9tXUm

Recorded through Allen&Heath ZED R16’s A/D converters with no EQ or processing.
I recently had recapped and modified my early 70’s Tonus-logo ARP 2600 synthesizer. Everything works great now, plus my tech added extended FM and keyboard/LFO functions - even better than new! You can achieve these sounds using a stock 2600 as well, but mine has a few paths re-routed for convenience, also a rebuilt key-assembly, filter and PSU, an extra LFO etc.

Somebody broke into my car and stole all my shit two days ago. But I have here a piece I did showcasing what the Emulator 6400 and some old mellotron samples can do with a litte expression. I do love that choir.

The fight scene in Looker went well enough with it. Its a good movie, Michael Crichton’s finest work, in my opinion.

Access Virus TI2 and Yamaha Motif XS8 programmed by BR (bennyrv). Thank you for listening. (bennyrv on myspace and Facebook)

I brought out my rarely used 1982 JVC three-tube video camera for this one. I have to blow up everything with light in order for it to see anything, but its cool. Seemed appropriate, plus the cord is longer.

Either way, I sequenced this days before Jackson died, but never really did anything with it, so here it is, live off the Macintosh. Had I posted it sooner, I would have felt like a Bandwagon Jump-onner.
