Joy Division - Disorder (Synthesizer Cover)

Taking a much needed break from my own material for a minute and felt inspired to cover JD but with a Moog! I learned the parts by ear and and fit it within the keyboard the best I could. The Moog Matriarch does all the melodic work as well as some special FX and drones. Drums were programmed into Ableton with a mouse. I would like to add a new drum solution soon but undecided.
Mixed in daw and summed to a Tascam 424 MkII!
Update!!! You can download the track here! Thanks so much for all the support!!!

Absolutely unreal! I want to thank everyone for all the recent support! I'm so happy to announce Disorder is available to stream on spotify and download directly on bandcamp! open.spotify.com/track/2KRmANLIeESFXaKpGDhsUE rabidue.bandcamp.com/track/disorder It is a privilege to be able to make music and have a life that allows me expression and creativity. During the pandemic I had a lot more time and resources to make videos like this and it's really cool to see one be loved by so many. It would be incredible if we could bring that energy to streaming whether you share with a friend or add it to a playlist! Every little bit helps! Currently I have been pouring all efforts into my project with Portia. There is an EP on the rise I have recorded and produced and several shows on the horizon! This Should be coming out before the end of the year with a physical release. So much love! Thank you all again!

This is like if Joy Division was in the New Order era I love it!

[@judethree4405]

I’d say it sounds like joy division in the joy division era. That synth sounds close enough to the stringed bass and 6 string guitar.

[@B0K1T0]

@@judethree4405 Not sure what weird effect pedals you usually plug your guitars in but sounds like some funky stuff.. But I think both of you are just looking to it from a different perspective :) Obviously it sounds like a Joy Division song (since it is a cover of a Joy Division song), but I do get the New Order associations (Moog synth, programmed drum patterns..).

I know, right? Garrett totally nailed all the cues and parts.

Very tough to do the vocals to this and not make a complete fool of yourself, but you managed it. There aren’t many good Joy Division covers around but this is definitely one.

[@hanswurst5493]

i was was scared when i saw he want to sing,and surprised ,he nailed it.brilliant.

[@phoenixdaronco9540]

You guys should be grateful that Garrett made an attempt to do vocals anyways. Covers are not always easy to sing, especially if your voice is much different from the original singer's. Even if his singing wasn't perfect, Garrett isn't Ian Curtis, and he did what he could to fit the energy of the song while still putting his own spin on it. We can't expect everything to be perfect.

[@jsm67]

The aesthetics of this video are on point. Really evokes that Ian Curtis type of vibe.

[@squiremuldoon5462]

[@garrettdebell]

Awe thank you so much!! Yes I sold a ton of gear to get the matriarch. Sometimes I feel it’s too big for my space or I’m not making full use of everything it offers but I can get some nice sounds :) I’ll look into it, I’m not really a cover artist though. This was for fun and the love of Ian, Joy Division, The impact and mystique they’ve had on me.

[@andydj261]

@@garrettdebell Whatever you sold in exchange - it was definitely worth it!....one of the few synths I still really crave tbh. Been using Ableton Live, Vstplugins & an iPad Air3 in conjunction with analogue synths. 64-bit apps have improved exponentially - e.g. Drambo is incredible....imo wavetables are the way forward - offering seamless import between Hw & Sw. years ago, I played boards for an indie band, hence have many Creation Records contacts, we played only two covers ever live - in essence once you've ascribed your own take of a track, it just becomes a vehicle to express your individual sound.

[@garrettdebell]

@@andydj261 I've never used a wavetable! I'll have to look into them. Can the Digitakt do synthesis like that you know of? I've been thinking of getting one for drums and some midi sequencing but that'd be a cool bonus. Oh whats Creation Records? I only started learning the Keyboard last summer, still need a lot of practicing. Although never really know where to put that effort lol! I've been reading Unknown Pleasures by Peter Hook and it seems a lot of JD songs came about that way!

[@andydj261]

@@garrettdebell Try out Serum - the wavetable library is extensive - sound very analogue with no artefacts, there's an Animoog soundbank & classic 80's polysynths etc - v.easy to load contrasting oscillator types, for cool sound design.
