Eyeo Preparations Microtrack

While preparing today for my presentation at the the Eyeo Festival I made this microtrack using the GMS and Ableton Live.

Ostracon Release Show Sample

This is one of many GMS driven MKS-80 clips I recorded into my Live set during the Ostracon performance last night. We have video from several cameras and a multitrack recording of the event, so keep an eye out for a live show video soon.

Cassette Tape and Evolving MKS-80 Pad Driven by GMS

After a few hiccups we have finally finished producing our limited run of cassettes. We only have 25 instead of the 50 we had planned, but all the j-cards and labels are printed so we can produce more quickly if need be. Each cassette contains a unique download code for multi-platform listening. A big thanks goes out to Unearthed Music designer Benjamin Montag for his design work and assembly. Also, major thanks to Wes without whom it would have never happened. Finally, thanks to Chris for the inspiration. For now, to get a cassette you will have to show up to the release show tomorrow night. Later on we may consign a few at local stores, but this media is for local consumption only.

Unauthorized Modifications was written and produced by John Keston (that’s me) and Graham O’Brien. The album was recorded, engineered and mixed by Adam Krinsky and mastered by Tom Garneau. For the release show performance I have opted to christen my Super Jupiter Roland MKS-80 for it’s first live show since I have owned it. Here’s an example of what I have been getting out of it and the GMS during my practice sessions.

GMS Microtrack with MKS-80

I made this microtrack during a practice session for the release show on Friday. The sound of the Roland MKS-80 never ceases to delight my ears, and pairing it with the GMS provides a whole new spectrum of inspiration from the instrument.
