Yamaha CS 15 through this Yamaha 4 x 12 in Jump In

Posted in Making MNDR Songs on May 25th, 2009 by MNDR

Finally added the grounding synth for MNDR song Jump In.  Peter and I ran the Yamaha CS 15 through the Dynachord PDD-14 and out of the Yamaha 4 x 12 (probably keyboard amp.  Sounds slightly out of tune in that great way.  Reminds me of my favorite early Electro Reggae off of Taxi Gang, Sly and Robbie’s label. Here are the real time photos in the studio!

McDSP Synthesizer 1 TDM Soft Synth

Posted in Making MNDR Songs on May 25th, 2009 by MNDR

Peter Wade and I have been using the McDSP Synthesizer 1 a lot for MNDR songs or other artist songs.  I can tell you I am way into this synth.  The interface is great for me because I like to dig deep and it allows me to do so along with allowing me to draw my own wave forms! Peter and I were asked by the designer to make some presets.  We designed one patch that we use on my new MNDR song Fade To Black (Swon Song) entitled The Egyptian.  The sound reminds of a modified Optigan.

Keep your eyes out for McDSP stuff if you are on Protools.  Only thing I gotta say is I hope he makes VST versions as well for us Logic/LIVE people.  Either way…awesome synth if you want to really get an original sound, but still make the synth pop.

I made this digital score for this film back in 2000.  I used REAKTOR, Logic Platinum, and made it on one of those clam ibook’s, the tangerine one.

First 0th SKYPE show tonight in Oakland, CA

Posted in Bands on May 12th, 2009 by MNDR

My band 0th is playing a show at 21 Grand tonight in Oakland, CA. I am in NYC and the rest of the band is in The Bay Area, but we are still playing with all of the visuals. I am so excited. Proves that you can keep playing with all of your friends no matter the geography!  We are hoping to stream the show on Youstream, but they might not have enough band width at the venue.  Either way we are taping it and I will post it as soon as it gets to me.  You can buy our first full length Tammy at Resipiscent.
