Uncertain Times by Martin Peters

We live in uncertain times now, both personally and globally. In this track I improvise on some sequences I came up with some evening before. The music was recorded in the evening of March the 24th.

You hear sequences from the NDLR and the Cirklon. The Cirklon is clocking the NDLR via MIDI. The Cirklon is in it's turn clocked by MIDI from Studio One. So if I press record in Studio One, the Cirklon and the NDLR start playing. The Mopho and Korg ARP Odyssey are the NDLR's motif's and the Roland JD-800 is the NDLR's pad. The Cirklon drives the Oberheim SEM, the Rob Hordijk OSC HRM, the Mutable Instruments Rings, the Mutable Instruments Braids and the Synthesizers.com Modular for the bass. The OSC HRM is also used as input form the Rings for most of the time. The solo voice comes from the Moog Minimoog.

The track was recorded live to multi-track in Studio One and mixed afterwards. In the last 2:30 minutes, the octave bass and the strings were added afterwards for a somewhat more dramatic effect in the climax. Hope you will enjoy it.

Born in 1960, I grew up surrounded by great music. Started on guitar and later on keyboard with a fascination for Synthesizers. Influenced by The Beatles, Paul McCartney, Pink Floyd, ELP, Mike Oldfield, Yes, King Crimson, Rick Wakeman, Genesis, Happy the Man, Synergy, Tomita, Wendy Carlos and Klaus Schulze.
