Week 51 (North Dakota)

By ConfettiTsunami on December 21, 2014 2:12 pm

This Weeks track is pretty much all op 1 again. I built this nice sounding organ pad using the OP1’s FM synth and it really suited the key of A minor so that pretty much decided how the track would go.

After recording all the instrumentals within the OP1 I decided to use the Kramer tape emulation plugin I bought during the waves sale on every track for both as an effect and for mastering purposes. It was the only effect plugin used outside of the OP1 bar Ozone for mastering.

The voice sample came from a link on “the moth” podcast. I heard it and thought it suited the mood of the piece so sampled it with the OP1 and ran it through the CWO effect. I highly recommend the moth to anyone who likes listening to Podcasts.

What a versatile instrument -- at least in your hands. Nicely done.

The beginning is very catchy and surprisingly upbeat for being in a minor key.  The change after the vocal sample brings a different but pretty vibe to the proceedings.  Cool stuff.

Thanks guys :-)

Really amazed at the things you achieve with that tiny instrument. The tape plugin gives the whole track some kind of Casio-esque atmosphere which is warm and fuzzy at the same time.

I've been listening to your stuff on and off, but I can say it has always been original and inspiring.

wish you the best for 2015. Happy New Year !!!
