Legendary Freaks In The Trash Of Time
Coming soon!!! Five years after the illustrious Paranormal Soul LP, techno derelict Danny Wolfers aka Legowelt returns on Clone with ”Legendary Freaks In The Trash Of Time”. A vivid collection of twelve genre-defying tracks: from late-night hermit house to Memphis rap influenced slowjam electro, from Amiga 1200 technorave to cosmic spaceweed trance, including the whole universe in between. All blended together in a mix of subdued sensuality and psychedelic splendour, this album is flavoured with Legowelt’s typical crunchy LO-FI sampler and synthesizer aesthetic. Wolfers’ own hand-drawn sleeve artwork illustrates the album’s mood without the need for much further promotional blurb… colourful stories embodying societal malaise and its dwellers – yet with a dash of aspiration. Music for misfits, witches, dreamers, cyberpunks, outsiders, geeks, and freaks. Legowelt’s people.

Roland D50 Synthesizer 30th Birthday
In line with the corporate whore that I am, I had a lot of fun doing some work for the Japanese Roland coorporation – programming some fresh patches and featuring in an infomercial for the 30th Birthday of the legendary Roland D50 synthesizer and the introduction of the Roland Boutique D05 – a small boutique version of the Roland D50 – not be mistaken with the ROLAND D5 from 198something. Now where are the keys to my Mercedes?????
All kidding aside, here are some mp3 demos with some sounds I programmed on the D05 all 100% straight from the little box including the FX, running from the internal sequencer or arpeggiator or just played by my hands:
Jazz Tapes: With an almost mellotron like tape warmth
Space Konijn – Orb-esque digital riff
(The above D05 patch is split on the keyboard, the higher part plays a monophonic portamento leadline, the lower a polyphonic pad string, each using 2 oscillators of the total 4)

Smackos Caramel Chorus Drive
A fresh new SMACKOS FX plugin for your Ableton (version 9.5 and upwards)! This time we enter the hazy world of the Chorus effect!
A chorus adds a subtle modulated creamy cloudy atmosphere over your sound. The Caramel Chorus Drive discretely simulates Nomium transistor circuits to add an almost subconscious organic and unpredictable behavior to your sound.
Infuse this stealthy dreamlike spatial chorus dimension with great ease – The Smackos Caramel Chorus Drive is particularly aimed at Ambient genres/sounds but you can use it on anything you want of course! Put it over your whole mix to give it a secret relish …or breathe life into mundane sounds, sweeten up singing or thin sounding samples – the possibilities are boundless!
Download here for MAC OSX & Windows PC
only for Ableton 9.5 and up
To use simply drag the SMACKOS CARAMEL CHORUS DRIVE.adg file into your ableton track.
TIP: Create even more organic flow by randomly automating the functions in the track envelope.

Wuppertal Schwebebahn
A very moody video I soundtracked for dutch artist Arianne Olthaar. The Wuppertal Schwebebahn is the worlds only suspended hanging railway and around 111 years old. A truly exciting contraption for trainspotters of all ages. More info here. And here is a cool stamp celebrating its 75th anniversary in 1976:
