Berlin-School ambiance with 2 LP's

I have made a video of a recording session for the forthcoming album “Permafrost” using 2 Little Phatties and some other hardware.

Hemisphere (Excerpt)

The sequence is done with Renoise using a function code which alows me to skip different points in the sequence like a Moog 960 module (check the demonstration video here).


From YouTube:

Another track for the forthcoming album “Permafrost”. This is an excerpt of the original file, which is about 13 minutes, and this time with a video I made during the session.

Equipment used (partial):

  • Alesis Micron
  • Apple MacBook Pro (with Renoise)
  • Echo AudioFire 12
  • Evolution UC-16
  • Korg Kaoss Pad
  • Korg MS2000
  • Moog CP-251
  • Moog Little Phatty Stage Edition (2X)
  • Moog MF-103
  • Moog MF-104Z
  • Soundcraft Compact 10

Enjoy! :wink:

What defines the “Berlin-School” sound by the way? I always wondered what are the things that make that up?

Wikipedia has a simple explanation:

The style is characterized by soaring electric guitar or synthesizer melodies in high-register accompanied by complex, shifting analog sequencer bass lines. The lead soloist’s warm, human improvisations were counterpoint to the cold, robotic precision of the bass-lines. Sound effects such as wind, and washes of Mellotron choir, flute, or strings were often added for color.

Those clips sound great Maskin. Looking forward to hearing your album when it is done.

Thanks Jazzpunk!

I’m still working on the album, but if it’s done I will let you know. :slight_smile:
