Behind The Scenes - Life On The Road

This last year of touring has been one of the most memorable, fun, and amazing experiences in my life. You guys have gotten to see me on stage, but now I want to share with you a bit of what goes on off stage. Hope you enjoy this little glimpse into my world :)

See You Again (Cover)

Hey Patreon Fam :) Got something a little different for you all this week. I was really moved by this song--it got me thinking a lot about loss and the people I love. I shot the video right after I finished arranging and recording all the vocals on the track when I was really caught up in all my feelings. Wasn't planning on shooting that day (hence the hoodie, hair, lack of makeup), but something about the rawness of that moment felt like the right thing for this song. Happy Monday friends

Hey  beloved Patrons!


Here's "Sorry", one of the bonus tracks from Elements. Lately this song has been a favorite of mine to sing, so I've been wanting to make a video of it for some time!

Jamming out a tune on the fly

Hello Patron friends!

Thank you all newcomers for joining in the last couple of weeks! Deeply thankful! All the small donations add up, you know! It's really helpful. So thank you!


Here's a little jam using the Analog Keys and the Analog Rytm to jam out a tune, and make a live performance. I'm gonna play on a sort of conference tomorrow. I'm afraid it's not gonna be covered by any media, so I thought I'd share some of my preparations, at least :)


My thought with live improvs is to prepare a few great kits in advance. Kits that I know really well. Full of Performance Mode changes and Joystick action. Since I'm very much a melody guy, I need to focus a lot on the keyboard, not making full potential of the Rytm. But just muting and unmuting the Rytm tracks is very helpful in making things move a bit :)


If there are any questions about how i set this up, or anything, don't hesitate to ask right here, ok.


Cheers for now.

Bob Cunningham I do so love these covers. Simple, clear and uncluttered. Revealing more of the beauty of the song itself. I can hear and understand every word of the lyrics. Something which is all too rare in much of today's pop music. This is music that makes me lean in to the speaker to hear every nuance. Perhaps this should be a new sub-genre in pop: Call it the "Lean-In" version (especially since the "unplugged" meme seems to have faded). Of course, I like both ways of doing a song: I'd never crank this version up and go crazy on the dance floor...

I Could Lose - Acoustic Demo

So I recorded this song in the bathtub with the back of my parlor guitar pressed up against the tub to amplify the sound. This is definitely one of those songs that'll sound better on headphones than on a laptop. 


Lyrics:


What are we doing here

My body it aches and toils

And my soul is restless for tomorrow


Wringin' out all my fear

Oh what are we waiting for

Don't you dare say it'll be easier tomorrow


I could lose everything

And I probably will

Everything but my faith in you


Countin' up all my Kings

Security can't be bought

It can only be bargained for tomorrow


And girl you ain't worth a thing

Except what your hand has caught

So don't you wait for it to be given to you tomorrow.

Live Jam Preview of new "No Filter" patches

Hello,

I've started to work on a collection of new patches for the Analog Keys. This time I want to explore rhythmical sounds, percussions and new types of keyboard sounds where I'm not using the filters.


The philosophy behind this is that I think the use of filters can sometimes hide otherwise lovely raw synthesis. There are ways to make soft sounds without the filters, and then you get to keep the rich overtones too! Mainly it's happening with the feedback and AM stuff.


So here's a little jam where I'm using a lot of these new sounds. It's one of those jams where I build up everything from scratch in one take.

I'm using stuff like Multi Map Mode, for the drums; Performance modulation for all of the tracks to make variations, Quantize, Swing etc. Also making frequent use of the reverb.


I know I just posted a video yesterday, but I haven't done any music for all summer, so I'm practially bursting with musical needs. I hope you don't mind ;-)


Cheers!

Homeless Balloon Nice! I love the courage you show when jumping into creating a tune without any safety net! The main reason why I chose the Analog Keys (I also have the Rytm and MonoMaschine), was the quality of the raw sound. I picked it instead of the Prophet 12 and Pro2, which both have digital oscillators. The analog quality of the A4 and Analog Keys is so inspiring. Thanks for this tune!

sara fosdick Nataly---the drama you have created with your songs, starting in January with 'waiting room' --yes--the drama is immense--it works to the point where quite a few people have been able to get through horrible lost love breakups just by listening to your words and music. You wrote us all an update along with the song 'haze' that i don't need to repeat here---and you've followed that plan in your writing to this final song. Which seems very final indeed. And you can read where people are so convinced by your performances that they are asking in comments--wait--what? What's going on? --to this song where we hear you say you are 'never coming back'. All these songs seem so deeply heart felt and convincing. They work. They work so brilliantly until now--with this final song you actually don't come back right away to answer your patron's praises. So now people wonder--not coming back to--oh no--or not coming back--maybe-- to US ? You have brilliantly followed out your plan. The songs this year will make an incredible 'side 1' for your album---and your patrons and followers on youtube are left in suspense. Is she gone? My god--tell us! And i have got to say--if you keep going the way you are--this album will have a heart pulse pounding louder than any poem by edgar allan poe. --leaving the question---where is there to go from being gone? i think we'll all stick around for 'side 2'
