Sunday Synth Jam: Here’s a minimal techno synth jam, via Mr Simon Stokes.

I’d like to see Stokes do something more interesting with his video – but it does capture his live techno performance, which uses Access Virus for the synth sounds and Ableton Live for percussion.

via siedgey:

I can’t believe it’s actually been 10 months since I lasted posted a video of me making some live techno – thanks to anyone who has forgiven me and is still watching.. :]

All sorts of great things have happened this year – I have been playing more around the UK and internationally, putting out some tracks with some really nice labels and generally just enjoying myself.

This track is inspired by a recent visit to the Warehouse Project to see an epic set by Ricardo Villalobos & Raresh – he tore the place a new one and I think this track captures how it felt for me. This time round it’s a thudding techno track – very stripped, but chunky as well. The Virus is creating all the sounds in realtime as I play it, and Ableton is providing the percussion, controlled by my UC-33e.

I love making music, but I really get my kicks when other people enjoy listening to it. Please leave a comment or any feedback that you have for me, it will be warmly appreciated.

If you have any questions, I’m always happy to answer them so post a comment or send me a message.

Cheers,

Simon
