Marius Leicht – Nachtblau (Matrix 1000 version)
Composer + synthesist Marius Leicht shared this live performance of Nachtblau, featuring the sound of the Oberheim Matrix 1000 synthesizer.
“The piece Nachtblau has gone full circle,” he notes. “I originally wrote it as a synthesizer piece, when I got GForce Software’s Oberheim Eight Voice emulation, OB-E for review.”
“While recording my first solo album, Weltmaschine, I transformed it into a piano piece and recorded it with Nils Frahm’s Zwicki Piano at his studio in Funkhaus, Berlin.”
“As there is not always a piano available when I play live shows, I rarely played that piece on stage. But since it gets requested a lot, I now went on to create a sound on my Oberheim Matrix 1000 which can be played very nuanced in dynamics and color, so I can do this expressive piece justice.”
