This was a fun jam, completely performed on the Vermona PerFourMer Analog Synthesizer. In case you don’t know the PerFourMer, it’s an analog machine that gives you 4 identical synthesizer strips that you can play in parallel or in different alternations. There’s no menu, each parameter has a knob which makes it super fun to play coz you get what you see, and each strip can have an inserted effect pedal (to name a few of its features). I wrote the chord progression beforehand in Ableton and imported the 4 MIDI loops, 1 for each strip, into a Pyramid project (as the project is controlled by it). I added 3 pedals to the strips which you can’t see in the video: the main lead is pimped with the Big Sky from Strymon, the pad lead is doubled with a delay effect and there is a second instance of the lead sound which is washed out by another reverb pedal. The bass pad is effect free. I'm still learning to perform this beast and I made some mistakes but I hope still you gonna like it ;D

I developed and produced the remix completely on my Dawless setup and also performed it live during my

This is the last jam that I recorded during my holidays in the Cantone of Valais in Switzerland (checkout the other ones here and here). The track creation started with a simple bassline that I modulated using the trig lock slide sequencer of the Analog Rytm. I think it's a super powerful way to get more parameters in movement than it would actually be possible with the LFO only (there is 1 per track available).

A neighborhood with electronic musicians à gogo - we live in paradise! Wunderkammer presents six electronic musicians from our Zurich neighborhood - a band, two live electronic musicians and a DJ. Know your hood - electrohood! My 40 min set will start at 10pm. It will be a pure Digitakt performance and the embedded brand-new track below is taken from it. I named the song "Wunderkammer", just like the club that organizes the "Elekrohood" event. If you live in Zurich or the surrounding area and have nothing to do on the evening of April 30, come by and party with us :D You can find all the info at Wunderkammer-glattpark.ch Preview of my set Learn how to make your own house tracks with the Elektron Digitakt!

It's beein a while since I released some samples but here's finally another free pack for you :) This collection was created exclusively for my 1 hour live performance "Dust" (2021). The original idea behind these mostly looped samples was to create them fast! Many of them have been created using the random algorithms included in the Reason DAW modules, help players, synths and samplers. In total you get 77 loops and 33 one-shots, some in different key variations and the percussion loops have been rendered with separate stems. Bass (6 loops) Chords (10 loops) Drones (17 loops) Pads (4 loops) Percs (28 loops) Synths (12 loops) Bass One-shots (11) Stab One-shot samples (21) I hope you gonna like this little goodie and you get some inspiration!

After last week's more artistic publication, I went back to work for a brandnew 1 hour Elektron Live Set that I need for a show in 2 weeks. This is the 5th track, it has no name yet but I really like that I managed to make a song NOT with a 4 to the floor groove haha (It's actually a live dub remix of a friends track). The track has a pretty aggressive stab that I really love. And as usual, all effects coming from the onboard sections of the Analog Rytm MKII and the Analog Four MKII. Checkout my brand-new Samplepack with great and mesmerizing textures for Dubtechno and Electronic productions:

Hey hey my guys, it took me a long time but I'm finally back with a lot of fresh ideas and news that I will share with you very soon. But first of all, I have to tell you, I really missed you guys, the live sessions and the music during the past 2 months and I'm so excited to get things finally rolling again! While there's so much more to tell you, I want to share some news about my upcoming EP "Home" first! It drops August 20 and I'm pretty excited about it. Embedded below is a first preview of one of the tracks that I performed some months ago titled "Glacier". My friend Alpha Mound produced a totally fantastic remix out of it. He added some extra spices to the track and on top we hear his super chilled guitar play. What a combination, I'm super proud of this song and I think you will love it too. If you don't know Alpha Mound yet, I suggest to checkout his blog at alphamound.blogspot.com and If you want to pre-save the EP, I'd really apprechiate your love. Happy Weekend y'all and I look forward to tell you more about my future plans very soon!

I started working on a new project this week, a score for a new installation of dancer and artist Bernardo San Rafael. The performance is titled "MUTTER!" and takes place on June 15 and 16 in Stralsund, Germany (check my Gig calendar here). This is a composition that I created for the entrance scene, enriched with some sounds just for the YouTube version (which is also much shorter than the actual score). It's a fairly simple arrangement that makes use of lots of random plays and LFO modulation. Need help arranging your own tracks? Book a free session and we can see what I can do for you!

I posted a lot about this important project on Instagram and also on my blog. And now here's finally the complete performance "Shopping Bag" for you. While we had a camera guy who was filming with different gear, I was only able to use a GoPro recording for this video which angle is focussed especially on me. In the 2nd half you can see the dancers who performed to my music. They move through the church during the whole installation - if you want to see the full version with focus on the dance performance, you have to wait until the end of September when the official video premiere of "Shopping Bag" will take place. Unfortunately, the audio recording is not perfect. The reason is the acoustics of the church - I use a lot of reverb in my music, but the room already has that by nature. Which is the reason why we had to massively reduce the amount of effects. And that's why the audio track we recorded with a Zoom recorder sounded extremely dry as a result. Not to say it sounded shitty ;D We then placed several iPhones in the church room, and mixed these recordings with the dry mixer output to get a more or less wet simulation. Now that doesn't sound bad, but it's still not the best in some places. I hope you can still enjoy the performance :) If you want to know more about the setup that I'm using, you can read all about it here Gallery Photos by Anke U. Neumeister Chapters 1. Swim 00:00 2.

This week's jam is a direct continuation of last week's track "Swim". It's about an underwater landscape and part of my upcoming performances on August 12 & August 13 in Stralsund, Germany. While "Swim" is a pretty cinematic composition, this one is a very experimental track and divided into 3 sections. In the 1st part whales play the main role. All sounds you hear are played with 1 track. For the first time, I used the special FX LFOs from the Analog Rytm to modulate the global delay time. Really cool! On the Digitakt, I had to use the Midi Loopback to do that. On top, the regular track LFO changes the pitch of the whale sounds and the trigs are played by a random value only every now and then. This results in an extremely variant and generative composition that plays automatically so I can focus on the synths meanwhile. In the 2nd part the Vermona Perfourmer comes into play, supplemented by the Big Sky Reverb with its Plate Machine. The sounds are sequenced by the Squarp Pyramid using a lot of randomization effects on the note octaves and lengths. In the 3rd part it gets a bit chaotic, here the Novation Peak gives its best. I configured the touchpad of the Pyramid to control some effect parameters. Slowly but surely all the elements are coming together for the performance! I'm so excited to see everything together soon. The tracks are ready, and in the coming week I have to practice, practice, practice. Especially with the transitions and the settings of the Vermona I have to get much faster!

Fancy a cool refreshment? Then dive with me into the endless depths of the Vermona PerfourMer! This new track will most likely be part of my upcoming performance in August as well. Its title is "Swim" and I tried to capture the waves, the ups and downs and the depth of the water with the synthesizers. The focus of this performance is clearly on the Vermona PerFourMer Its 4 synth strips play single legato notes independently of each other, floating back and forth with the maximum glide feature. They are sequenced by the Pyramid, which modulates the octaves with its randomizers. Behind the Vermona hangs of course an effect pedal to spice it up. This time its the Strymon Big Sky again with the Spring Reverb Machine. I set up the reverb to play the first modulation 1 octave higher and the second modulation the 5th pitch. Thus, the entire sound gets varied and multi-layered. The arrangement is accompanied by a super deep analog sounding bass played by the Novation Peak. The sample section is fairly simple in this song, delivered by the Elektron Analog Rytm MKII. As a special feature some of its FX parameters - delay HPF for example - are kept in motion by the Pyramids LFO. Need help building your own hardware setup?

Happy weekend guys! I thought it's finally time to upload the pure & fun jam session I had with my Digitakt and Digitone last night. It has been a while I did this and I had a lot of joy with this pattern. Maybe it will make it into my upcoming streaming set DUST which airs Saturday November 6. Stylistically, my idea was to create a track that goes into a more reduced direction. That's why I only play it on the Elektron Digitakt and Digitone gear, no other hardware is involved.
