Stylotron

By george bowles on April 22, 2012 4:50 am

this week my idea was to use a track using just these two guys. the monotron produces an astonishing amount of sounds for a cheap synthesizer, so it kind of steals the show. I mainly concentrated on using the low end of this little synth, so it supplies the bass and beats, mainly (with a few sound effects thrown in). the stylophone is used more like a keyboard. at the time I purposely left the volume low, so you get some weird line noise (since this synth has a very distinct sound was trying to cover it up a bit I guess). I ended up drowning it in reverb, so it sounds like some weird old horror movie keyboard.

another unique aspect is that I was housesitting for someone, and I brought these over and entertained the cat. not sure if creating in another person's house changes what I did, but it's at least an interesting concept, and part of why I did the small synth only track.

Did the cat appreciate your minimalist lo-fi alternagoth synthcore performance?

I appreciate this track as a homosapien.

I think you might find this useful . This track fits quite nicely with my week 15 and 13. WB 80s low-budget horror compilation? Nice track.

Cool track!  I like it.     And how good are those cheap korg synths!  Used them in a gig on the weekend even.
