Sunday Synth Jam: Multi-instrumentalist and music educator Jim McLaren unleashes a prog style synth jam video song. RAKTATAK.

Here’s what he’s got to say about it:

My first video song, an original I called RAKTATAK. What you see is what you hear, and everything you hear is seen.

Using some of my favourite instruments, this song came out of jamming on my Moog Little Phatty. Layed down the groove and added instruments – arranged with Fender Strat guitars, Fender Jazz Bass, Nord C2 Organ and Ipad Apps M3000HD and Animoog.

Drums programmed in Boom and Addictive Drums.

Is there any instrument McLaren can’t melt faces on?
