Flat Earth (New Wave Anthem #3)

By NWSPR on January 24, 2016 3:23 pm


Week 3 of 52 unabashed New Wave Anthems on analog synths (apologies in advance). Flat Earth is a more down tempo track reminiscent of OMD.  I used an old Yamaha DX7 for the chimey sound and some pads.  A lot of KingKorg (terrible name, surprisingly decent synthesizer) for bass, piano and strings.  And I used a Moog Minitaur for the melodic leads.  Drums are Roland Tr-8 and TR-626 along with additional syn-drum sound from the DX7.

I would like to add vocals if anyone wants to collaborate.  I'm not good with vocals and usually come back later to add them to a final mix.

Very cool!

Love that dx7, and the melody
