hi,
i made some new songs with the voyager which you can listen to here:
they’re free, so download costs you nothing. zilch zip. big goose-egg! nada! niente! nichts! zero! no pesetas! nyet! no! zapp!
did i mention it’s free?
free! free! mwhawahahahaha! free! costs no money! haaahahhaaa!
anyway, crazy laughs aside, enjoy the otherwise very sane music if you like moog sounds.

Hello Martin,
I found a way to download these tracks for free 
Again those very special style of yours.
Somehow it always reminds me on the pre Autobahn tracks of Kraftwerk.
But you are not copying them at all.
Thanks for letting us download your music.
Hi Martin,interesting stuff,i like the Nachtflug track,what effects are you using?
effects: non-moog delays and reverbs. everything else is made with the voyager. maybe one day i’ll buy a moog delay.
the drum tracks are crafted using several synced mono moog tracks, one by one. a deep bass, a snare, some filter self oscillation. drum tracks and percussive effects are synced to midi for funny effects. i like simple beat-box rhythms.
the improvised parts on the slower tracks are one-takes, so no post-editing is done. a lot of effort goes into practicing finger technique and studying and listening to vocal tradition.
i also own an old uher variocord reel-to-reel recorder which provides the possibility to slow down, speed up, or mangle sounds. very little is done on a computer though.
the midi track data composed on sequencers are discarded immediately after recording the moog sounds onto hard disk recorders. this is to ensure the feel of the music remains unique.
Thanks for that Martin,i record in a similar way,but i really want to know what you’re using for that delay/reverb,it’s really nice,i’m after something for a Voyager i’m about to lash out on,i have an old beat up SPX90 for the Model D but i need a combination of effects.Cheers
in the case of ‘nachtflug’, the delay and reverb come from the korg d3200 multitracker.
the effects in that machine are quite nice.
other than that i have used a tc electronics m300 in previous tracks.
that’s pretty much it for the effects.
Really great music. I especially love your playing on ‘sonnensegel’. I’m curious, are you doing all the bending from the wheel, using glide, a combination? Thanks,
dadek
the playing technique is a mixture of the following elements:
glide (portamento)
as the solo line is based on singing, i use a certain amount of glide, which is quite nice for this use. it can also turn into a mannerism (there was a somewhat heated discussion about ‘lead sounds’ somewhere in these forums if i remember correctly) , so it’s really tricky to get right…
using glide also works well because it’s part of the sound and doesn’t add midi data to a sequencer track.
filtering and modulation
depending on your favourite posture, you can assign filtering and modulation to the wheels or pot-map to your liking. sometimes i just turn knobs, in other cases i like to assign filter to the modulation wheel.
most of the time, i leave the pitch wheel alone.
using a glide-solo voice with the correct timing works best for me and turns out quite accurately.
the touch-screen is another cool technique for this. for fun, i like to play it with my nose. it’s a very ergonomical and fun approach, as i sit in front of the instrument, but it is not very accurate, especially with my big schnozzle.
embellishment
the most tricky bit. it takes years of practice and lots of experimenting with styles. on this track the idea was to capture a light and elegant mode with a light, sparkly sound (“sonnensegel” means “solar sail”. it’s a technology for space travel http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_sail - the elegance and lightness of this idea was the inspiration for the piece).
rests
when playing the moog for “vocal”-style sounds, it was important for me to remember to take some ‘breathing’ rests much like a singer would do to catch breath between phrases.
in the context of moog playing technique, it can also be a ‘thought’ rest (of course when playing a synthesizer, you don’t need to take a breath, unless you’re so fascinated by your instrument that it takes your breath away)
by thought pause, i mean a pause to determine “what the heck am i going to do now that i played myself into corner. ah, now i know what to play, etc.”
Martin -
Another terrific batch of tunes! I really liked “Flusse taler walder” - a very cool, soft, old school analog sound. It sounds as if it was performed 30+ years ago on a modular system (and I mean that as a compliment). Excellent work!
Thanks for sharing!
Greg
So that’s why they call you moognase! 
Congratulations on your lovely sonic realizations.
thanks to all who took the time to listen and comment!
have a peaceful holiday season.
martin
Very different sounding (in a good way!). Some of the sequnced lines remind me of Ray Lynch. The sonud is unmistakeably analog, and to me that is GOOD! I have to say that I really enjoyed the last track. It shall find a spot in my IPod if you don’t mind. 
Very nice stuff. Simple yet complete. Good work!
Beautiful! I put this on my iPod and went for a night time ride in the mountains on my motorcycle. Made for a great ‘real world soundtrack’. I like it and look forward to hearing more.
Thanks for posting these for free!
