21st Century Man

By NWSPR on June 10, 2012 11:16 pm

Hey, surprise!  This week's track features loads of analog synthesizer, drum machine and new wave styling. Syncopated guitar that has been modulated via the sawtooth wave on my Yamhaha CS5's LFO to sync with the drum machine.  I have recently been running the rhythm tracks of my songs through an old Lexicon rack effect that gives the mix a warm feel. I picked the Lexicon up used at a local guitar/junk shop for next to nothing! I started noodling around with this track on Thursday and it wasn't until last night I started to like it... now I'm pretty happy with it. 

The illustration below is from artist Matt Held who through out his back this morning so doodled this robot for me while laid up.

Saw's steady tone is surprisingly cool.  Really loving your sound!  I think especially since I love when there is a low drone, and the higher sounds are just too FUN.  What are you using for the vocoder?

New wave ftw!  This song is crammed full of good synth sounds. Super fun track.

ohhhh squelchy vocals oohh, nice. LOVE IT!

Love the synths, amazing sounds
