about

I’ve been fascinated by outer space and science fiction my whole life.
Recently I started exploring generative music using the Octatrack only, and the idea of combining semi-generative music and the space theme came up: here is MOON, a soundtrack homage to the Apollo 11 50th Anniversary of the moon landing on July 20th, 1969. “….one small step for (a) man, one giant leap for mankind.”

MOON is a semi-generative music session based on one pattern only on the Octatrack MKII, where the elements I interact the most with are: 1) Synth-pad chords sequence - a set of chords in slice mode, pitch-shifted across three scenes and controlled by the cross fader ; 2) track volume levels ; 3) a stereo FX sound on track 5 which I triggered from time to time. The whole music piece evolves around a 9 minutes long audio excerpt from a dialogue between the astronauts, recorded while they set foot on the moon on July 20, 1969.

All the sounds you hear in this soundtrack are from the versatile ELZ_1: a very special synthesizer by Sonicware which features several synth engines capable of powerful crisp sounds; I sampled it straight into the Octatrack.

MOON - takes 2 & 3
From all the recordings I made, I chose three favorites: the one from the video, a second version which took a more subtle and atmospheric spin, and a third one, a night session. Find them all here.

Enjoy!
