Stop the time

This evening I was not that lucky with the recordings. The first take wasn't that good, the second I liked very much but it appeared I forget to start the audio recording and the third take was somehow distorted again. Then I had a webcam meeting with my friend and walked the dog. After that I decided to try one last take because it was getting very late. And the result is a 23 minute video of which you see the first 15 minutes.
The music starts with two 4-step sequences in Dm from the self-built Modular and the Ian Fritz Teezer Through-Zero VCO combined which the Blacet MiniWave. Some chords on the Roland XP-80 are played and after that an arpeggiated chord on the Waldorf Q Keyboard is heard. The volume of the sequence of the Synthesizers.com Modular is turned up which sequence length is varied during the track. Again some chords on the XP-80 where after the length of the first two sequences is altered to 8-steps. Then a bass note is played on the iPad using an Eden synth voice in NanoStudio (preset A02, 7th Heaven). The arpeggiated bass on the Waldorf Q keyboard is introduced accompanied by notes from the NanoStudio voice and the sequences are transposed to Fm, Am and Cm. I use the two X-Y pads in NanoStudio to alter the sound of the voice. After a while the solo is played on the Clavia Nord Lead 1. At the climax the music is brought back to a minimum and the individual synths are heard.
The title refers to a phrase my friend and I sometimes use when we are together.

You can see the whole video or hear the music from the video music on my website.

@FlametopFred Not in this video, no.

[maxauto44e]

have you ever thought of getting a genoq nemu or octopus? (midi sequencers)

[attorks]

@maxauto44e Yes, I have thought of those but they are quit expensive. And I like the simplicity of the Q960 very much.

Wow again, great work Martin!

[LouiePlaysDrums]

What can I say, Martin? You've done it again. This is another excellent 'build-up' piece. I especially liked it when you started going into the key changes. It was like walking up to a door for the first five minutes and then when the key changed, it was like that door kicked open. Great piece, Martin!! I'm looking forward to hearing the full version once it's posted on your website. Your music gets better and better with each piece you post. Keep up the great work!
