We would like to welcome Alastair Symon to the current artist list here at Classitronic.net.
Alastair has been doing something really rather unusual and also very difficult, instead of taking the easy route (like me)and using a computer sequencer to play music though his modular system, he uses hardware step sequencers which interact with each other to build up and play classical pieces, so in essence the synthesizer is playing it’s self !, I seen this with basic sequences but not the same level that Alastair has taken it to.
This is no mean feat to achieve and takes a lot of time and patience to setup and get right, below is a rendition Erik Satie – Gymnopedie No 1.
He says that he will be able to make more complex works with the addition of a new Oberkorn 3 sequencer from Analogue Solutions.
This is both a novel and interesting method and to my knowledge that no one else uses and we look forward to hearing from you Alastair, Well done !
