Cierra | Don’t Cry | Fairlight Platinum ReFill
Here’s a cool video featuring Cierra and the Fairlight Refill:
Sneak preview! Michael Moog has produced a brand new track for the 17 year old TMG Recording artist Cierra Ramirez exclusively using the Bitley™ Fairlight Platinum ReFill for Reason 6. He contacted us about it and gave us exclusive rights to publish a sneak preview of the video in order to be able to spread the word on the refill, which he adores. This video is not listed publicly on YouTube.
Cierra Ramirez will be starring in the Lionsgate feature movie (motion picture) Girl In Progress with Eva Mendez going up on cinemas May 11, 2012. The track (and this video) will be official sometime after this.
The track is a response to Echoes Of Silence by The Weekend.
Michael Moog will possibly be providing a RPS version of the track which will be provided to all Fairlight Platinum license owners. Michael Moog is also currently producing the 90s pop act No Mercy and the Fairlight Platinum ReFill is being used there as well.
Directed by: Michael Moog. Director of Photography: Eric Roundtree. Lightning / Grip: Calvin Gaines. Edited by Eric Roundtree, Siji and Timmy Temper. Published by Temper Music Group. Song copyrighted by The Weekend, 2012. Preview published by Bitley with exclusive, written permission.

Roland Jupiter 80 “Tomi-Tanks”
Info about the synth from Roland below:
Roland’s all-new JUPITER-80 is a groundbreaking live performance synthesizer that simply could not have been built until now. It’s the first synthesizer designed completely around SuperNATURAL® sound modeling technology, delivering expressive instrumental realism far beyond anything previously possible.
Since the launch of the JUPITER-80, many professional keyboard players and producers have praised its expressive SuperNATURAL sounds and live-performance capability. With the Version 2 software update, the JUPITER-80 offers new features that enhance its synthesis power, and provides more flexibility and creativity for musicians designing their own sounds.

Time for some heavy beats on a sunny monday morning, enjoy 
Deus…………………………….Josh Delozier
Robo Hobo……………………..Brad Kranich
Data-dealing Stranger…………David Surber
Prix……………………………….Jolene Kay
Neuro Nurse…………………….Vivid Vivka
Body Mod Patient………………Brandon Moore
Hivemind Agent………………..David Surber
Orwellian Cactus Conduit……..Rutger Hauer
Cloud Computing Storm……….Samuel L. Jackson
Deus decisively adorns his trusty, gleaming, obsidian jacket and outdated aviators–then hits the road in a rush.
He embarks on a sojourn through this seemingly teeming with vitality, LED-infused landscape. But it appears that beneath that utopian veneer lurks something far more dysphoric. A totalitarian government, willfully granted by the citizens. Out of the despair induced by this rampant tsunami of data stimuli, denizens no longer have the will try to filter it and decide for themselves what is important and what is extraneous–the human body and mind after all never evolved to support this level of constant mental awareness.
Always, observant of his surroundings Deus voyeuristically gazes at the Substance Datahead degenerate Robo Hobo who torches the infrared datum hand in fist.
Deus clearly disgusted by the possession of technology on the denizen’s minds forges forward–albeit with traces of his own hypocrisy.
Prix glides across a high rise android brothel before Deus’ very eyes, having too been caught up in the downward spiral of data addiction…Injecting her Substance Data µSB into her modded port and feeling her scheduled release.
The Neuro Nurse repairs the Body Mod Patient’s node-based architecture tattooed all-over his body and corrects his cerebellum disk-entry point with her laser torch whilst excising a corrupted node.
The gilded semi-conductor floats through the sky, ready to be confiscated by an ambassador known as “The Hivemind Agent” selling through taxation the information that he thinks is best suited for the lowly and soulless Robo Hobo to know.
The cloud computing storm encroaches upon Deus’ reality and threatens to rob him of the last shreds of his organic humanity once and for all.
MFB-522, Slim Phatty, Mbrane, Clap Track, DM-100
“Just messing around with a MFB-522, Moog Slim Phatty, Jomox Mbrane 11, Electro Harmonix Clap Track and Boss DM-100 delay.”
MFB-522 is a drum computer with a fully analogue sound engine that offers plenty of editing capabilities. It includes a step-sequencer with popular TR-style running-light-programming. Memory locations are available for 72 patterns as well as for 8 songs.
The step-sequencer allows programming of 72 basic patterns plus 72 fill-ins. The latter being associated to the basic pattern memory location, resulting in a two-bar-pattern when using the fill-in. Patterns can be combined to eight songs that each hold a user-definable sequence of up to 64 patterns. In addition to the instruments, a global accent-track is available. When set, the corresponding step will be played with a higher or lower volume-setting in comparison to the standard level. The MFB-522’s sequencer offers three different steps of shuffling. A stereo output will carry all instruments minus those where individual outputs are in use (bass drum, snare drum/rimshot, claps and Hihat). Using the MIDI-In, drum-sounds can be played with a keyboard or external sequencer. Here, the sound sources act velocity sensitive. Finally, MFB-522 can be synchronized to incoming MIDI-clock.
