I do this because I love working like this and secondly to show how it was done back in the day, especially for live work. Each episode ends with me performing the song, recorded in one take. Could be sour notes, playing errors and more, but it’s the raw performance. No autotune or post editing. I go over each synth I use, whu I use it and the different parts will be broken down to show you what I think each part contributes to the song. I also program the drum machines to show how these old machines work. In this episode I constuct a song I’ve called ““ and in the following episodes I will rebuild some of the somgs from my latest album “Those Days“. Check out that album on Spotify or Bandcamp here: Thank you for watching!
