Nixinger (Doepfer Dark Energy)

Because you can never have too much analog power, I just purchased a second-hand Doepfer Dark Energy module.

First experiment... all Doepfer multi-tracking.

Great little German machine, full of fun noisy possibilities.

Inside "Life on a Sinking Ship"

The blog has been quiet these days, but I'll post some musical excerpts from the upcoming "Life on a Sinking Ship" album this week...

Attack of the Bee Woman

Experimenting a bit with analog pedals...

The Moog Little Phatty is passing through EHX Memory Boy delay, providing various insect lead sounds.

The Korg Poly-800 is plugged to EHX Electric Mistress flanger.

Dude, Where's my Monotron

Korg's new analog toy, the Monotron won't be shipped to our European shores till July, but there are already quite a number of US videos online.

Most of them aren't very interesting, but here's a nice one, featuring some good external audio processing through the MS-20-clone filter of the Monotron. As seen on Matrixsynth (http://matrixsynth.blogspot.com), and created by Musicradar (http://www.musicradar.com).

New Album Due July 1st

The title says it all, eh?

My next commercial release will be "Life on a Sinking Ship".

The date is July 1st 2010, on CDR and iTunes.

I'm currently polishing the mix and experimenting with short songs to segue the main tracks. I'll post some excerpts and work-in-progress demos until the release.

The tracklist so far:

1 – Colour of Bone (a very very poppy song... boy is that poppy)
2 – Who the Fuck are You (a new faster and much better recording of a song already released round these parts)
3 – Life on a Sinking Ship (a funkier, moodier trip, with a hypnotic feeling)
4 – In the Clockwork City (part.1) (not sure if this will make it through the final release, it's a vocoder tune)
5 – The Opium Spider (inspired by the instrumental off the "Chasing Ghosts" EP, a dark psychedelic cue)
6 – In the Clockwork City (part.2) (reworked from an instrumental, with some weird vocal experimentation)
7 – Machines are your Friends (a long, almost prog-electro piece about living with machines)

More pics of my new modded Microkorg...

As usual, click on the pics for higher resolution.

Next step : closing the back (it's open right now, needs some wood work).
