I played a spontaneous live jam for the shooting of an upcoming video in Oslo. Eleven minutes is the actual time it took to make this track. Yes, my live shows sound something like this now – and all elements are played live. You can watch me how I build it up synth by synth. Although you should rather dance. While the video documenting the jam is still in the making, this is a cleaned up version of that live jam (in fact these are just the loops I recorded in that moment, not the live things I did on top). Credit goes out to Gazebo for the basic drum beat. He constructed this in 2 minutes as I asked him about the drum pattern for his 80s debut single "Masterpiece." It is actually intended for a different production, but I got socially pressured to use it for this recording, too. ;-) I should probably also credit Alexander Robotnick for inspiration, as the bass line sounds somewhat like him - although I recorded it spontaneously out of my head. I have some thirty more jams like this one from the preparations to my Oslo live show that I could probably work into actual tracks. Or I could jam some more. :-) More
