Martin Peters in synth action
Here’s another one of synthesist Martin Peters‘ Berlin School style synth jams, Incredible.
“Yesterday evening I was dialing in some sequences and it sounded very nice. But after recording a video it appeared that the sound recording was not alright, very distorted. So this evening I made a new video after first testing the sound recording. Now it is OK and the session is way better that yesterday evening so I guess this was meant to be. The song starts with an 8-step sequence on the Doepfer MAQ16/3 driving the the Ian Fritz Teezer Through-Zero VCO/Blacet MiniWave voice and a bass tone from the Synthesizers.com which is driven by the Q960. The Q963 is used to turn on and off individual stages for the bass tones. After that arpeggiated tones from the Waldorf Q Keyboard are introduced. Then the volume of the 8-step sequence from the MAQ16/3 for the self-built Modular is turned up. Strings are played on the Roland XP-80 and the solo on the Clavia Nord Lead 1.
The title refers to my friend Anne; she is a truly incredible woman.”
The whole video is just over 20 minutes long and you can download the video and/or the music from Martins website.

Over the last few years on the night before the Hampshire Jam electronic music festival a special ‘Pre-Jam’ event has taken place. This year was a much more informal affair. The rules were simple, only 1 piece of sound producing kit plus some fx per musician.
The result was a very laid back experimental ambient affair lasting approx 2.5 hours. This clip shows the opening 10 mins.
A rough, multi-angled edit of the opening section of the Hampshire Jam’s debut appearance by The Omega Syndicate. An Improvisation based around the piece “Firefly” from the Limited Edition album released on the day of the event. The sound quality is so so…
