Berlin School Jam Features Four Moog Synths, Recorded Live In One Take
Reader Karol Pokojowczyk (Caught In Joy) shared this live Berlin School style synth jam, Shelter in Sound, featuring four Moog synthesizers: the Moog One, Micromoog, Matriarch and Messenger.
Karol Pokojowczyk takes an old-school approach, recording his performances live to reel-to-reel, using a variety of hardware synths.
What Pokojowczyk has to say about Shelter in Sound:
“If the world feels loud lately, this is your shelter.
Shelter in Sound is my most intimate work to date – a live performance on four analog Moog synthesizers, captured directly to reel-to-reel tape spinning just behind me.
It’s a space to drift, to breathe, to feel.
A quiet voyage through sound – intergalactic, yes, but always safe.”
Shelter in Sound is available on Bandcamp. You can preview it below:

“This is a re-recording of a 20-minute live set by ?@DreamsOfWires? for Superbooth25, and consists of two old tracks from my video back-catalog,” they note. “It’s quite a minimal rig, configured as two all-analogue synth voices – one for melodic patterns, one for pitched drone parts.”
