Live Techno Series #8 - Simon Stokes [Virus, Blofeld, Ableton]

Thanks for watching. As always, it's been an age since my last live video. Well tonight I have rectified that with an overnight stay in the studio resulting in 2 new tracks and a shiny new video for you...

In this track the drums and percussion are programmed straight into Ableton Live. The main synth part is being played from the Virus which is sequenced by Ableton and tweaked live. The Blofeld is used to add some keys and the UC33e is used to control various parameters in Ableton Suite 8.

All comments are warmly received. Things are looking good for 2012 with a new European tour in the planning stages (get in touch if you are a promoter!) and various other goodness to come over the year. I will also be putting out a good few releases this year on some great labels so stay tuned for that.

In the meantime, add me at the following places to keep in touch:

For those in Glasgow who would like Ableton lessons, I am running them full time from my studio. Get in touch through Facebook for more information.

Thanks for watching!
