Micro​/​Minimal

A Detroit Minimal Techno/Micro House album of DJ tools. The title comes from the type of music therein. And the synth I used to make it. Every synth sound was created with the mighty Korg MicroKorg. A hugely popular, yet still highly underrated little beast of a synth. 80%+ of the drums on 9 of the 10 tracks were created with my Vermona DRM1 MKIII Drum Synthesizer. With the other 20% or so coming from my Yamaha RY30 Rhythm Programmer. Which is a sample based Drum Synth. The "Song of Solomon" was made with the MicroKorg and my Roland TR-909 before I sold it. I used my Akai MPC 1000 to sequence. As well for overdubbing a few synth leads, etc from the MicroKorg. The "Condensed Grooves" aspect is in regard to the fact that I sought to pack in as much emotion and vibes as possible utilizing the fewest elements. Ultra minimalist tracks. One main loop and or groove. With minimal embellishments. Just raw, gritty tracks for the head, body, and soul.
