Kebu - To Jupiter and back (demo)

Free download link: This song is also available in a reworked version on my debut album, “To Jupiter and Back“: I wanted to learn how to program my Roland TR-606, so I thought the best way would be to compose a song with it. The song was recorded live. No overdubs, performed in one go straight through! The video was recorded with multiple camera takes afterwards. The TR-606 sends external gate trigger-signals each time a high tom or low tom hit is activated. I muted the tom sounds and used the pattern sequencer for the low tom for controlling the arpeggiator clock of a Roland Juno 60 instead. The pattern for the high tom controls the gate to an Arp Axxe. The Logan String Melody II is run through a EHX Small Stone phaser. Both the Juno and the Logan is sent to a simple delay. I would have wanted to have the song 100% analog, but my space echo broke down, so I had to use a digital delay (TC M300). All instruments are also fed more or less to a stereo spring reverb (Vesta Kaza RV-3). The output from the mixer is recorded with a stereo cassette deck. Mild EQ and limiting was used in the final digital mastering stage. The song title? To me the song was an adventurous voyage, hence the title. :) Many thanks to Timo for selling me his well kept TR-606! www:
