  • A tribute to Wintergatan!
    Played on the PO-28 and PO-20 from Teenage Engineering.
    It's possible to make Arcade play the vibraphone part as well if you have 12 patterns to spare, but it's more fun to do it live on the Robot.

    Sometimes I think music is dead. Then I see Wintergartan's Marble Machine (I was originally sceptical/cynical as to whether it was real or another web-based advertising attempt at viral marketing and totally CGI. But after watching the vids, I'm in some kind of beautiful yet surreal world watching this.) being emulated by someone else using playing-card sized synthesizers that I didn't even know existed until just now.
    It's fucking brilliant guys! Jean-Michel Jarre and Pat Metheny take note!

      Well, no need to critique his hard work and dedication. He probably worked a decent bit for it to go right. And a heck of a lot more if this is the person whom invented it.
      Even then, Daniele, you are so right. Maybe this should be a lot more common. I miss a lot of chip-tune music now...

    • @manixburn6403
      @manixburn6403 9 месяцев назад +1

      Chiptune is the birth cry of a new instrument/machine. Melody bring life to it. The essence, the absolute sobriety, whole universe in a few Kb. Sobriety/melody is beauty in it most powerful term but you need to be aware of it.

I think Martin Molin is a genius I really enjoy his music. My biggest fear is that he will loose a finger or damage his hands building the MMX. I’m 70 and hope I live long enough to be able to watch new live performances. His music touches my inner being.

      LFT designed these mini-synths (yes, he's the designer as well as the perfomer) to be able to recreate many classic sounds of the Commodore 64. You should check out his "Lunatico" demo if you like this sound :)
