This video depicts the creation of the Selene keyboard, envisioned by Adrian Younge, Jack Waterson, Michael Wait, and Luke Jones. Commissioning the craftsmanship of Luke Jones (Ken Rich Sound Services) the team created a keyboard that is akin to a modern Mellotron. Younge recorded organic instruments through vintage mics, and compressed them hard to analog tape with an Universal Audio 1176. With an embedded Universal Audio LA2A compressor, the Selene serves the purpose of being a sample-based keyboard that plays and sounds like vinyl. The Selene can be heard throughout "Something About April," the follow-up album to Younge's "Black Dynamite Score" on Wax Poetics Records.
