Chilled Dawless Synth Jam with Elektron Digitakt, Waldorf Blofeld, Dreadbox Typhon and Novation Circuit Tracks

 

Sunday Synth Jam: This video, via French synthesist and producer Guillaume Blanjean (Atlas Castle), captures a live, chilled dawless synth jam, featuring Elektron Digitakt, Waldorf Blofeld, Dreadbox Typhon and Novation Circuit Tracks.

 

Guillaume Blanjean uses the Digitakt as the ‘brain’ of his system, which looks like it is about to be overgrown the greenery that masks his system’s cabling. His system is pretty compact, but makes effective use of some affordable, but powerful, gears.

 

Blanjean created this performance as part of a hardware jams challenge, which was to create a jam involving repeating elements, inspired by this quote from Rudolf Steiner, “One can ascend to a higher development, only by bringing rhythm and repetition into one’s life.”

 

Improvised Ambient Music for Voice and Novation Summit

 

 

This video captures a short improvised ambient set, by husband and wife duo Tefty & Meems.

 

The performance features voice and Novation Summit. Here’s what Tefty & Meems shared about the technical details:

 

“Everything was recorded into Ableton Live with no click. Additionally, we added Luftrum field recordings into the mix afterwards for some extra ambience. The vocals and field recordings had some extra spatial effects added from Glitchmachines Fracture and Hysteresis plugins.”

 

 

 

 

SUPERBOOTH 2022 Synth Jam

 

 

Synthesist Martin Stürtzer shared his live ambient/Berlin School performance from Superbooth 2022.

 

“After two and a half years of playing (mostly) at home, it was a pleasure to bring my synthesizers on stage at Superbooth 22 in Berlin,” notes Stürtzer. “This live set was built around Ableton Live as MIDI sequencer and audio mixer. All sounds are from the Waldorf Iridium, Waldorf M, Oberheim Xpander, Moog Sub37 and Eurorack Modular.”
