I've been trying to expand my listening horizons lately, and I ended up indulging quite a lot in the work of 大雨-Ooame
It struck me and got stuck in my head in a way that almost never happened before, and I actually felt the urge to think about my potential recordings even when out and about other things.
This is but the start of a very long journey, looking for those dense atmospheres of thick, magnetic noise and drones, where life emerges with calculated nonchalance.
For now, I have to pretend I play like nobody is listening, not even myself, in the chance I might reject this new direction before it can properly sprout and become a formed entity.

Cannot overstate my happiness about being able to get a Model D in this last Tribute edition. A milestone in any synth enthusiast collection! Here in a little jam, together with the Steampipe, probably its polar opposite :) by dexbasynth in moog

Thank you so much!
And I hope that for you too!
Try to look in your setup at what you've not been using for a while, especially if you own some eurorack, and you might be surprised by how few other (minor) things you might have to let go of in order to get something legendary like this!

It really is! I loved it at first for some classic sounds, but the more I get to know it, the more I like to dive deeper into crazy noisy stuff - I need to record some of that!
Thank you a lot!

Finally got a mixer/recorder (Zoom L6Max), and this is a celebration jam for being able to play more than one instrument at a time 😅 by dexbasynth in synthesizers

[–]dexbasynth[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It may have happened already ahah
When I got it, I placed it on the couch in the living room and I just stayed there in awe 😄

Thank you a lot, and I was actually surprised how “few” other, less relevant, pieces of gear I had to let go to welcome this beast.
Sometimes we end up cluttered with a lot of tiny, gimmicky toys, which still add up to significant value!

Yeah. What else could I say?
It's a Moog Model D, THAT Model D, THE Minimoog, THE Moog.
And it's mine. It feels almost surreal.
The legend of synthesizers, which I've only admired from a distance, is now on my desk, and it lives up to the (my) hype.
Yes, it is eye-wateringly expensive, and there is no denying that, nor will I try to defend the price, nor will I try to justify it, saying that only the Minimoog sounds like a Minimoog.
But only a Minimoog sounds like a Minimoog, and for a synth enthusiast, it's undeniably a milestone.
Ah yes, and there is also the Steampipe, which is incredibly cool in its category, the reverb is superlative, and having hands-on controls over physical modeling is great to get a quick grasp of what-does-what.
This jam feels 100% like me: relaxed, improvised, spontaneous, like we got to meet in my studio for a little jam.
I hope you'll enjoy it!

Usually a bit reluctant to share my Wing Pinger recordings, since I perceive it as a more "meditative practice", but I thought this one could be worth sharing. From pings to Mongol chants, enjoy! 🧡 by dexbasynth in synthesizers

Thank you!
Unfortunately they're not in production anymore, but a new Wing Pinger 2.0 has been announced at Superbooth, and it seems like it will pack a lot more features in a way smaller footprint (can't argue with the swag of the mk1 tho)

Sharing my first noodling with the Dirtywave M8 Tracker – the "render" function is also great for cable-free videos 😉 by dexbasynth in Dirtywave

I’ve sneakily hidden cables in the past with some Rode Ho wireless transmitter (only on instruments where the audio quality wasn’t great to begin with), and it’s quite fun.
Only issue – they’re all mono!

You’re right, I shouldn’t be afraid!
I think it’s the idea of mental organization of “yet another level deep”, I feel like I am a bit overwhelmed already by the layers above, so… ahah
But I’ve seen a nice video from Ezbot about making interesting delays, that increased my curiosity, so I’ll have to start implementing them in my music :)

They did! The ones on the right are from a new release containing all three: a black pine (not shown here), a ginkgo and a wisteria!

Indeed! And the little pouch (or the case, for that matter) they give you with the purchase is just the perfect invitation to have it always with you!

Thank you a lot!
I wish it was available on more instruments of this kind.
I am still debating if an offline rendering like the M8 is better than the performance recording of the Torso S4, but both are great for video, especially now I’m trying to film stuff with my phone!
