Nervy jam with Moog Matriarch, Arturia DrumBrute Impact, Elektron Octatrack MkII, Eventide Space

LISTEN/BUY THIS TRACK ON AN ALBUM HERE!: jayhosking.bandcamp.com/album...
A live, semi-improvised performance, all on hardware, and inspired by some crevice of my brain that stores all the weird dark 80s music of my youth. I set up my new Matriarch just to ensure it was in ship-shape, and ended up getting lost in this weird twisty sequence. The DrumBrute Impact proved the perfect complement to the bass line, and the Octatrack handled quadruple duties as drum processor, ambience, melody, and master-level compressor. All in all, a superb setup that was super friendly to performance.
Moog Matriarch + Eventide Space - Bass monster
Arturia DrumBrute Impact - Drums
Elektron Octatrack MkII - Audio processing (four inputs from the DrumBrute Impact), track effects, samples, melody, master-level compression
Written and performed within a 4-hour period, and uploaded as is, with only a little compression/limiting on the master.

[@tricks-and-tips]

100% agreed! Listen and read :)

One year ago this video inspired me to get out of the DAW and bought a drumbrute impact and a Matriarch as my first DAWless gear. I have learned so much and I have not looked back! Thank you!

[@JayHosking]

You're amazing! Thanks so much for the kind words, and really glad to hear it's working out for you.

[@swillm3ister]

I love this so much i came back after months and it's still incredible.

[@kristo1280]

Absolutely perfect tune. And topped with being synth based. Great live performance on a quite small setup. Smart creative and musical use of the gear.

[@dalecutlemusic586]

So inspirational! Thank you for taking the time to create and share this. I will have a Matriarch very soon, so this is so fun to listen to and watch.

[@malcolmbliss777]

Those Arturia toys are the shizz! After getting the original Spark Drum interface I too bought a Minibrute, SparkLE, MicrFreak, Drumbrute Impact, and now a Microbrute. Love,love love em all!

This is really brilliant. I’d totally listen to this.

[@Synmomusic]

That's a really great tune. I love how the highest pitch oscillator gives the matriarch a metallic sound. It's been stuck in my head!

god, the chord progression.. heavenly!! and i dig that DBI

Magnificent. Nice work, man.

Perfect for the morning commute. That Moog is sounding real crisp. Also, seems you are utilizing the OT more. Thanks for the upload!

[@djtyson435]

This sounds epic af 🔥 this could be the music for a chase seen in a movie or video game honestly! 🙌🏽

[@InvertedPopesMusic]

Nice one. Everything sounds crazy brilliant especially the Moog but then I do rather love a Moog sound always have. Like you say, appears all that gear was meant to be played.

[@Synmomusic]

I just wanted to comment on this video again to let you know this song has been in my listening rotation for the past few years, and I still absolutely love when it comes on. It get's stuck in my head quite a bit too. Anyways, I just wanted to drop a line to say that even though housing prices are sky high, your music is living rent free in my brain (though I did make sure to pay for a copy on bandcamp!)

[@JayHosking]

I really, really appreciate it!

[@imanagemydamage]

aaaah. great track man! finally not just some "ambient techno jam" flicks

[@laax8588]

insanely dense atmosphere! might steal some of your OT-utilization-ides for this minimalistic setup

[@MikkelGrumBovin]

It's such a "Filmic Chase Scene" tune and then you end it with a Sergio Leone , spagetti western type Outro, so cool, - 😎

[@WJL91]

Really hear a Jon Hopkins influence in this one. Loved it!

[@henriksvangren5956]

I like it

[@BluffMunkey]

Bloody brilliant. I agree on the DBI, the only real fly in the ointment is the iffy hats but I'd keep it for the kick and fun factor alone. Oh, and I wish the frequency of the FM voice could be sequenced, but hey ho.

[@TheEquinoxeHD]

That's gooooood!

[@MarcWeertsMusic]

Awesome track - sounds like a level from the Portal 2 game! 🙂

[@rudetee]

Juicy and tasty jam !

[@planker]

Excellent. I'm not a Musician, but an Electronics Technician. I probe circuits using an Oscope, however probing them with a small amp module I have found some interesting sounds, also listing to 433.92 MHz a DATA band has all kinds of Digital mash ups, also very interesting after a smoke.

[@punkotero]

woww very incredible performance, and the texts that you add always are very inspiring! I have a question, this samples that you play with the octa are made by you or are just simple sample packs?

[@JayHosking]

From Elektron sample packs, primarily, with that Octatrack pitch/speed/effects/etc. modulation. And thanks!

[@i_never_asked_for_an_alias]

Referring to your musical references we might have similar age. ;-)

[@christopherhenry3194]

If you could describe how you made the sequence lol if that makes sense. Is it pretty well just broken chord changes? I like how it has a bit of that never ending feel.

[@JayHosking]

I played the sequence in by hand on the Matriarch, into its sequencer. It was a bit of a pain as you have to get it right the first time and there are a lot of notes to the sequence. But essentially it's a root note, high third (either major or minor, depending on chord), then the octave, then the fifth. For example, the first chord is a C, then very high Eb, then octave C, then G. And so on. Hope that helps!

[@christopherhenry3194]

@@JayHosking Couldnt have described it any better Ill have to give it a go at home! Thanks, keep on jamminnnn!!

[@nozer88]

Awesome. Where does the lead-sequence come from? Ableton sequencing?

[@spybloodjr]

I love what you're doing with the Matriarch! Are you still jamming with the Medusa at all?

[@JayHosking]

Ultimately, I sold it. Love the sound of its analogue oscillators and filter, and love the playing surface, but I was fussing with tuning more than I'd like, and I thought the digital oscillators left a lot to be desired. That said, I've heard the more recent updates really brought the Medusa to life, so I might try it again sometime!

[@spybloodjr]

That's definitely the cold hard truth for the Medusa. It's a ton of fun to mess around with, but leaves a bit to be desired in some areas. I've definitely gotten incredible results out of the Medusa, though! I just wish there was a bigger community supporting it. Oh well!

[@busselommers2301]

where did you get those background vocal type samples? And what did you do to them? they are really cool.

[@JayHosking]

Some of them are stock on the Octatrack, and some come from a few soundpacks that were either from Elektron or Loopmasters or similar, free with a purchase (I truly don't remember). As for what I did to them, I'm not sure. I develop the scenes pretty quickly and freeform until I get something I like. And thanks!

[@busselommers2301]

@@JayHosking Thanks! I really like the sample at 1:28

[@187onasimp]

If they made Perfect Dark in 2021 this would be the PERFECT theme song for the game. Oh wait just found out they are making a new Perfect Dark game. Maybe you could pass this on to the developers???

If only someone would give me their number!
