Hey my friends,

I have a few upcoming shows with the dance ensemble around Bernardo San Rafael titled "Shopping Bag". This piece premiered in 2022 in Stralsund and it is the first time that we have the chance to play it for the audience in Zurich and also in Germany again.

What makes it special is the fact that I sold some of the gear I originally used for this performance, namely the Squarp Pyramid for sequencing and the Novation Peak for some sound design. Since I somehow lost the backup files of the Squarp I had to re-write the MIDI sequences and also re-arrange some of the other sounds but It all went well and it sounds absolutely great.

The original performance was totally dawless, using the Pyramid, Elektron Analog Rytm, Novation Peak, Vermona Perfourmer, Big Sky Reverb and Grand Canyon Delay. Don't ask me how I got it on the plane haha

I changed it to a hybrid setup and it also works fantastic: Vermona Perfourmer, Elektron Analog Rytm, M-Audio air 192 interface, a little launch pad and my Mac who is replacing the Squarp. The first channel of the Vermona is routed Into a separate audio channel and it mostly plays a dry bass sound while the rest of the synth is nicely reverbing using the Big Sky VST Plugin.

Download the Jam audio below and enjoy!
