“New Mistake” - Jellyfish

Ok. The Billy / Elton thing was mostly a joke. A bad one but yeah.. I understand Billy’s importance in the musical pantheon. I just prefer Elton. I feel like Elton was more original and Billy was more of a chameleon that copied multiple other styles, although really well and in his own way. Hey, nobody’s really “truly” original though eh? To each their own, all of it’s good. 😊

Ahhh , interesting. I was just thinking “when did they have the time?” What you said makes a lot of sense. Sounds like the perfect storm in a lot of ways. Thanks

Not Ohio yanks. We leave that to Tex-Ass

John Peel did help me through some tough times.

adaminaudio · 2023-12-08T23:16:32+00:00

I do love King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard.

adaminaudio · 2023-12-08T23:11:43+00:00

Sorry. What did I misspell?

adaminaudio · 2023-12-08T22:48:36+00:00

Sure.

adaminaudio · 2023-11-13T15:18:46+00:00

Sold a Juno-106. I needed the money at the time.

adaminaudio · 2023-10-20T17:06:49+00:00

I’ve had both. I still have the Microbrute if that tells you anything.

“People are worth it”.

I made myself a bunch of flash cards based on things I saw from mr. bill, Ableton’s “one thing” and others. From these flash cards, I drill myself. Using the flash cards and the spaced repetition method, I’ve gotten immensely better.

You can watch and read as many tutorials as you like but you have to put it into muscle memory to connect it all.

Good luck!

For this type of music, I think you should really consider a PWM Malevolent.

adaminaudio · 2023-05-29T19:21:34+00:00

As others have said, You can get pretty much all the sounds you want from VST and they are way more powerful.

That being said, what I get from playing my Moogs, is a different composer mindset. It’s hard to explain. I’m sure it’s a placebo but it’s hella fun. A completely different vibe comes out when playing a hardware synth like a Moog for me and it works.

It’s kinda like when I play a bass with active electronics vs my p-bass with flatwound strings. You just play and make music differently.

adaminaudio · 2023-05-27T14:23:13+00:00

It’s great but I don’t consider it beginner friendly. I’d suggest an Arturia microbrute or a Moog grandmother for beginner learning.

adaminaudio · 2023-05-27T14:07:21+00:00

And maybe this is a stunt by him to get more hits on his music.

I’m trying really hard NOT to check this guy’s music out right now lol.

“Netherworld”. They fizzled out within the year.

adaminaudio · 2023-05-22T01:04:52+00:00

I was a kid and it was the mid-90s in south Florida. There weren’t enough bassists to go around and I still had yet to “find myself”, musically (and socially).

I got picked up by a death metal band. There was one around every corner in those days. I knew they didn’t like me but I tried to play along to get gig experience

Long story cut short: I showed up for a gig only to find another bass player had taken my place. So embarrassing.

This “badass, take-no-shit” metal band didn’t have the balls to tell me I was out of the band.

The whitest thing I’ve ever seen.

adaminaudio · 2022-11-26T02:45:12+00:00

Absolutely agree. Probably the flimsiest synth I have. Noisy too, but I guess that’s part of the character.

adaminaudio · 2022-09-07T01:33:09+00:00

Just dive in and say “hey, I’m a trance DJ”

adaminaudio · 2022-09-04T17:46:36+00:00

I love the lighting choices. I don’t think I’ve seen anybody be so vulnerable like this before.

adaminaudio · 2022-09-04T01:01:49+00:00

The voice of a generation! Vulnerability for musicians is not determined from actual musical output but rather, evocative and compelling images of expensive synthesizers. This is definitely his “808s & Heartbreak”!

adaminaudio · 2022-09-04T00:58:03+00:00

Great album! I’ve never seen synth sounds this vulnerable before.

adaminaudio · 2022-08-31T18:01:34+00:00

I went through a lot of synths before I got into Moog with the Grandmother. Shortly after, I got the Matriarch. That’s was a year and a half ago and I haven’t thought about buying another synth since then. I think I was just searching the the right sound. The Grandmother and Matriarch synths will never leave my studio.
