One of the best studio tours ever. He has the gear, has it all plugged in, knows much about it, takes his time and runs through everything. Just awesome.
I find this video so inspiring. And I like the fact that most of the stuff he plays sounds more like his Franz Falckenhaus productions than Legowelt ones.
I know nothing about synthesizers but I watched this entire video. I've loved his music for about 10 years now. And he is extra sassy here, he even combed his hair. And that sweater is dapper as hell.
"I really like this kind of like Brian Eno "On Land" ambient atmospheres, like, that it sounds like you're in nature, but actually you're not, you're in a studio with lots of nasty radiation and chemical fumes from this nasty synthesizers, it's quite horrible in a way..." So much win in so many words... :D
VIRALITY except Eno didnt use so many on."On Land", its largely tapes, foynd soynds, effects and even some guitars. I love that album, csnt see much of a connection to Legowelt and 90s formulaic techno/chicago house tho
He makes me miss my poly 61 I had forgotten all the weird things it did. But yes I always though it sounded very boards of Canada. This was my first ever synth.
I gotta join in on this one. Get your wildest reporter on RDJ’s house and have him do a B&E AND FILM ALL OF HIS GEAR!! Just show us the gear and no one gets hurt man! Ha ha ha!!
Guy made a name for himself without most of what's in this space. These are nice and I want them all, too. But clearly, his talent shown itself anyway, despite not having all the bells and whistles back then. It'd be a shame for anyone to not explore music production because they believe they need thousands to start off with. I'm sure Wolfers would agree.
Refreshingly good modular sounds. Funnily enough all the latest and greatest module chasers end up sounding quite similar as modern modular is going, ironically, less modular and more towards one module per voice. This gives a lot of modular music quite a slick, preset synth sound.
And again, the cheapest things in both studios are the chairs :D But absolutely nice two setups.. Amazing how everything he "bleeps" out of those synths sound 110% Legowelt. Yet again, machines do not operate without a human who generates the desired parameters. Nice... Nice... Nice!
The real gear lust was growing in me with every minute of the video :-) ... and the killer line: "Let's go to the other room, I've got more synthesizers there" !
i found his music yesterday and now i don't know how i lived before it...i cant decide which one is my favorite,all of them are so good..which songs are your favorite ..anyone?
"This is a Roland JD-800. It is a digital synthesizer from 1992.... I bought it from a new age composer and it smelled very much like incense when I bought it." BWAHAHAHAHAAHAHAAAAA!
Nice video, lovely studio, charismatic man. Would have liked to know more about his recording methods. How does he use such small mixers with so many synths? (I don't see any patch bays). Does he record to the reel to reel or to a computer? What does he sequence with now? This is less of a studio tour and more an overview of his (admittedly impressive) synth collection.
oldcomforter Yes, sound craft mixer, electribe plus the pedal, amiga, alpha juno, hohner, tascam 4track, akai module, D-50 .. If you take your time you can get the whole list for under 1K
Memories ... With a few exceptions, have worked with all of them demonstrating in a music store. (almost) Never used a manual, just dig in ! (when I look at the x000's of pages of manuals with my software today ... sigh ) Great synths, great sounds, great times !!! Really dig this guy's understated attitude :D
In the first room, i wonder if he is sequencing only with the Amiga. In a sense a minimal studio... loads of synths and drum machines but only the reverb and fxs in built into the mixer? Im intrigued to know more of his workflow with synths. Also there is the FACTMagazine vid of Legowelt.
How did he get this "Brian Eno atmosphere" sound with his doepfer system ? :o I want to create my doepfer modular system like this, but I don't know anything about modular system and how to start this... :/ Somebody can help me ?
