I'll admit, it was getting a bit late and we had a couple of drinks. Sooooo, not our finest work but I think one of the most fun ones. For us. Plenty of mistakes but who cares.

More pedals, more arps, more drones. Still exploring the new setup and the pedals. I'm now finally in the position to get to know the pedals better and what combinations work best.

Long jam alert! My first jam using the new patchbay setup, so I just routed a few synths through a few pedals. Result: some nice drone textures. So I just went with it, created some melodic elements as a contrast. I got a nice beat going and there it is. I really love this sound. Lots going on but it all depends on which you focus.

I have the Wavebone Headquarter desk and I couldn't be happier with it. It has a moveable keyboard tray underneath (which is adjustable in height, the desk itself just a tiniy bit to adjust for uneveness). It had 9x 19" rack space, plenty of workspace and a plateau for your screen and monitors. It's very affordable and very sturdy.

I love these jams where it looks easy and it actually was. It came together pretty quick, everything fits, one take and done! Even mixing was very minimal except for the vocal which needed cleaning up (which is normal when you record while music is playing). I think I only used a bit of EQ and saturation on the rest. With compression only on the master.

Just a fun little mix of analog goodness, melodic techno, dub elements and an overall chill vibe. I forgot to add the bass back in after the break, luckily I caught it a bit later. Well, mistakes happen.

I think the vibe was just right. In the beginning light and almost upbeat. But then that growling Sub 37 kicks the door in and starts having a go. Very nice jam if I say so myself. Not really special but just nice enough to knod your head to. Fun one!

Just a fun summer analog techno studio jam. One camera oversaturated because my camera knowledge is non-existent. Lot's of drums and analog synths to get you through the day.

A bit more straightforward but nontheless a pretty cool result I think. The beats work, the synths work, the Malevolent delivers a beautiful arp and the Moog Sub37 can do these raw drones.

Live vocals, one take, analog goodness and at least one of us had the decency to dress up (hint, it's not the guy in sweatpants). Cool session, no set structure. We were both like "alright let's see where this one goes". Of course there is some idea because all the building blocks are there, but still.

Pfff again with the titles. I'm just trying stuff that would kinda work in the almighty youtube algo. Anyway, lots going on, depending on your medium it could sound really messy. But is has a nice drive to i.

I almost have my patchbay setup complete. Just a little short of 100 meters of cables to go. And this was the first time I hooked up the Behringer Spice. Of course it's a new plaything so there is much te learn. I feel I didn't get the scale right, it was a bit contrasting with the rest, but it's a cool little machine. Thankfully Inge had time the next day to record some vocals. It really spiced (no pun intended) it up.

Haha yes even the most hardcore Behringer hater will have to admit they nailed it with this one.

For the Hulkenberg podium I presume 😜

This was the second time I switched the Elektron Analog Rhythm mk II on, just on whatever kit was loaded. I did a bit of sounddesign and created the patterns, nothing too fancy (yet). It plays really well with the rest. And of course a Hulkenberg cap! First podium!
