Industrial synth jam in response to a suggestion to perform a 3 minute DAWless EBM track. The inspiration for the hardware darksynth jam that I developed into this track with a three minute run-time came from a comment on one of my longer practise / work in progress jams (I haven't technically finished that one yet ?) Details on how I set out a brief for the project below ? This hardware darksynth cyberpunk track is titled 'Two By Sky', and marks a key moment in my music production with my current setup as it was the first track I've completed using only hardware since my first yamaha sequencer died in the late nineties! Also, it's the first jam I've uploaded that's less than 5 minutes along with the first time I've attempted to develop a DAWless EBM track that I can perform with the same arrangement each playthrough. A big part of the workflow and methods I'm using come from my early years in metal and thrash, so riffs and melodic phrases over the top of an EBM bassline are the approach I've used here. ______ Use the link below to get a 7% discount with Distrokid and get your music on Spotify and other major streaming platforms: https://distrokid.com/vip/seven/1646494 ?

Industrial EBM synth jam inspired by the cult cyberpunk movie Nemesis, cyberpunk literature of the eighties & nineties, Industrial music and aspects of the information overload of Emergency Broadcast Network, aka EBN. I accidentally strayed into the firing line of one of EBN's "long range entertainment attacks" when I read about them in Future Music magazine, probably around 1995 - '378' was on the cover disc. Luckily, I was out of range of their 'golf bag rocket launcher' system. Inactive at present, but check out the links to EBN's channel below if you're interested. EBN - infomercial -- https://youtu.be/GjkCQNP0VDQ EBN - Get Down -- https://youtu.be/SuVd8k3QFP8 This track 'All-Machine' first came together as a rough jam I submitted to a local music & arts festival, which had to go online at short notice so the original idea was put together the weekend of the deadline. I went over by a couple of hours due to my slow upload speed but the organisers let me off and used the original footage for the online event :) so my initial concerns that my effort was too rough and ready proved unfounded as the ethos of the festival is to support local and regional artists along with more established acts and due to the short notice, rough and ready was the order of the day. ?

I've set the user scale to half whole diminished, and manually reharmonise the bass line for the chorus, keeping it locked to this scale (as opposed to modulating the phrase up a minor third). ⚙ Novation Circuit - Percussion and sequencing. I'm not using either of the internal synths (turn them down in mixer view, muting kills MIDI) Only sequencer 2 is used in this track, to trigger my Volca FM. ⚙ Korg Monologue - I use 3 patches in this track, manually switching between for the different sections. Bit tricky to do via the dial! One of the patches is blank, so I can use it to cut the sound. The riff is a 9 step sequence, making it polymetric to the other parts running at 4/4 time signature. ⚙ Volca FM on lead, which I'm also running through my Boss DS-1 guitar distortion pedal and TC Electronic flashback triple. ⚙ AKAI MPX8 manually triggered speech samples - Source 'Nemesis' 1992 cyberpunk movie. ⚙ FX - TC Electronic Flashback Triple for delay. ⚙ Zoom CDR-70 Multi-stomp - 'Gritty Backwash' ⚙ Recorded into Bitwig, via stereo inputs ______ PLAYLISTS - Nanomancer Industrial, darksynth, cyberpunk and EBM hardware synth jams Hardware synth jams 2022: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLyiz7to8uouISb67sgFdsqgZJOnAAOAzl Live Synth Jams 2020 - 2021: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLyiz7to8uouIK2ZB4sNqY4wevEJd_G5gz ______ #Darksynth​ #Cyberpunk​ #EBM ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5JAGNyp4rsk
