Sunday Synth Jam: Martin Peters (attorks) latest synth jam, Sadly Imperfect, uses classic synth music elements to create a reflective mood.
Peters explains the technical details below:
The title refers to the somewhat sad music and the imperfect meter (3-3-2) used.
The music starts with an 16-step sequence on row 1 of the Doepfer MAQ16/3 driving the Synthesizers.com Modular. After that the bass from the self-built Modular comes in driven by an 8-step sequence on row 3 of the MAQ16/3. The solo is played with a percussive organ-like sound on the Roland XP-80.
Then an 8-step sequence from the Synthesizers.com Q960 driving the fabulous and very versatile Rob Hordijk OSC HRM module is introduce (never mind that I forgot to set the switches to normal 🙂 After that some mellow pad is introduced on the Waldorf Q Keyboard and the solo on the Minimoog Voyager comes in.
The 16-step sequence is then altered to row two of the MAQ16/3 to give some variation. An odd note is played on the Clavia Nord Lead 1.
Beautiful
Inspiring, I like it.

Stunning as always, almost a medieval poly-rhythmic feel to the sequences. Very much enjoyed.
Martin’s music can sound deceptively simple, until you engage it enough to hear the rich interlocking aspects. That’s the kind of challenge I like to hear. Its classy and mature.
