Legowelt interview

One hour of hardcore aimless brabbling about synthesizers, studio stuff and music production. You get to watch me play the legendary Akai Timbre Wolf.

I was a little bit under the weather from some cold so please mind that while i sometimes stumble in Dringlish (Dutch english ;p ) And I am drinking a cucumber juice there. Sometimes there are some glitches becasue of some wobbly internet in the countryside.


‘Enough’ Compilation raises 10000+ $ for wounded children in Gaza conflict

The charity compilation ‘Enough!’ curated by Mayss Naber raised $10 095  so far for the Ghassan Abu Sittah Fund for wounded children in the Gaza conflict. This will all go to  treat injured children, rebuild the destroyed medical infrastructure in Gaza, and establish a sponsorship program for 20,000+ orphans from the conflict.

The compilation has my track ‘a vast comfortless universe’ on it (which will also see a vinyl  release on my upcoming ‘A Field Guide to. the Void’ album on Clone). There are many many cool artists on the compilation like Martin Rev, Suzanne Ciani, Nicholas Jaar, Drew mcDowell (Coil), Nick Klein, Beate Bartel (Liaisons Dangerouses), Sarah Davachi and many many more!!!

If you haven’t checked it out yet, you can can listen and buy it here on bandcamp!

DX7 Painting & Magic Patches Car

A new painting of a Yamaha DX7 FM synthesizer in an abandoned backyard and also a whole bank of Legowelt programmed DX7 patches (“the Legowelt magic DX7 cart”) to load into your DX7 or compatible synth/vst 🙂 Lots of dreamy and archaic dark ambient pads. Download here (4kb .SYX file on wetransfer )

If you don’t have a DX7 but have a DAW you can use the wonderful free open source DEXED DX7 vst that emulates (and edits) a real DX7 quite comfortably. Get DEXED here 

There are many other DX7 FM vsts and modern FM hardware synths that are
compatible with these patches, check if it can read original DX7 sysex and you will be able to use these.

A few sound demos /tracks made with these sounds some multitracked some with some extra FX reverb and delay

LEIGO FESTIVAL BALLET PERFORMANCE 

For the first time I will be composing music for a ballet performance with 30 dancers and the Horn brass collective on 10 august at the Leigo lake Festival in Estonia.

On an evening in August at the lake Leigo in Estonia, you can see a contemporary ballet with original music, installations, pyrotechnics and lights created through the collaboration of director Teet Kase, neuroscientist Jaan Aru, Composers Timo Steiner, Sander Mölder and Legowelt.
