Life is Fragile - Make Noise Trio - Strega / 0-Coast / 0-CTRL

You never know when your moment is going to be. Enjoy life. Revel in sound.

[@michaelkonomos]

This is so great. So often I just hear people making fart sounds with the 0-Coast and dusty squeals with the Strega and you are actually making beautiful music with these instruments. I’ve been considering them both and this is very helpful. This is more like what I have had in my imagination of what could be done with these.

[@jon_gee]

Haha yes I’ve heard many strange experiments with Strega and 0-Coast. Thank you…they’re a great team….In a recent interview with Cortini he is using Strega’s LFO as a second oscillator in his live setup. This to me is incredibly cool.

[@AnalogMonoxide]

Love that you are using these for this big cinematic vibe.

[@jon_gee]

Love the long, morphing tones from Strega’s effect. The delay line really adds harmonic layers.

[@MagicPointTrax]

gorgeous

[@raucous_studio]

total film score. I'm impressed by this arrangement!

[@jon_gee]

Thank you. That’s every composer’s dream.

[@jthek2000]

Beautiful arrangement with the trio. I may have to try those patches on mine. This is one of your best tracks with these 3.

[@jon_gee]

✨🙏🏻✨

[@jthek2000]

I’m curious how you have a white pitch knob on the 0 Coast.

[@jon_gee]

@@jthek2000 no idea actually. I got’er used. I noticed make noise will change their colors ie Maths etc

Alessandro Cortini meets Casino Versus Japan meets Jon Gee.

Oh man I want this!!! Sweet sounds!

[@jon_gee]

Thanks man!

[@edwardnixon1782]

Just coming here from listening to some of the old Miles/Gil Evans tracks; can't say the transition was the least abrupt. Nicely done, making something (semi-)civilized out of the Strega component.

[@jon_gee]

Sweet! I LOVE Bill Evans piano playing. His touches on the keys are so delicate yet so meaningful. Yeah man classic jazz with a Strega chaser is some abrupt vibes indeed! Glad you stopped by. Thanks for tuning in!

[@edwardnixon1782]

@@jon_gee Yeah, Bill is great, but I wrote "Gil Evans" Here's a link: kzbin.info/www/bejne/pGOoophqm92tedk

[@jon_gee]

Oh man! Duh! I must’ve read too quickly. Thanks for the link. A classic.

[@fentanyljones6956]

Probably the best use of strega i’ve heard

[@jon_gee]

Super kind thank you! I have many other Strega videos like this one.

[@Abyssolune]

You make that Strega sound so good

[@jon_gee]

Thanks man! I dig your latest! Great patch.

[@Abyssolune]

@@jon_gee which one? The dungeon vibes or the weird coffeehouse “music for the deaf” noodle session?

[@jon_gee]

Music for the deaf!

[@Abyssolune]

@@jon_gee Ayy, thanks mate, that was a fun one

[@planetplex]

It was great I really like that!!

[@trashculture]

Love it.

[@spacemodular]

Spooky and expansive. I can feel the BOC vibe. Alessandro Cortini too! He left his imprint on the Strega. Nice work. Where does the feedback echo come from at the end?

[@jon_gee]

Thank you. It’s a great honor reading BoC and Cortini in the comments. The feedback is all Strega. 🙏🏻✨🙏🏻✨🙏🏻

[@halberkstresser]

what a good idea - turning the time output to be another 1v/oct :) doing right now

[@jon_gee]

Yes!!! Opens up a world of possibilities.

[@davidb7723]

Will you share the patch for this? It's beautiful ❤

[@jon_gee]

Thank you. I’m using each lane on the 0-ctrl to control the v/oct for each synth. The third lane is used to modulate the dynamics on 0-coast. Using the touch plates to mod the Tone knob on Strega and the multiply knob on 0coast. Playing around with Strega’s effects. It takes a while to tune but once you have it dialed it’s epic.

[@jon_gee]

Also just posted a new Strega tune.

[@ritsaert]

I see you've got the 3 Moog semi modulars standing next to this Make Noise setup. Have you tried combining them all together and what are your experiences regarding connectivity, possibilities and of course sound?

[@jon_gee]

I have since sold the Moogs. I cross-modulated them a couple times with fun results! I especially enjoyed running the DFAM into Strega.

[@Cutflower]

No way!! How come??

[@jon_gee]

@@Cutflower it wasn’t easy. My studio space is limited and I wanted the Pulsar. Found a used one for a great discount so I had to do it. No lookin back man! Hehe for real I had a great time with the Moogs for years. I recorded many tunes. The mother is still my favorite of them all. I still have the Matriarch for that Moog sound.

[@maxm6302]

Really really nice tune, what did you use for the drums ?

[@jon_gee]

Hey Max thanks man. I have an elektron box off camera. The analog rytm.

[@maxm6302]

Hey Jon, thank you very much ! I need to check this box out now :)

[@zhoumygod]

Reminds me of Boards of Canada! Is this all coming from the trio? Apart from the drum? I’m about to order my 0 coast and 0 ctrl soon ❤

[@jon_gee]

Yes. I usually use 0-coast for bass and Strega for the higher interval. It’s all the trio. Maybe a touch of reverb from strymon big sky in the bus mix. …and thank you I love BoC I’m sure it’s obvious…they changed the world of electronic music.
