My new album, entitled inSpiral, is out now. It’s available from digital stores including iTunes, Spotify, Bandcamp, Amazon and others. inSpiral by rozz3r I thought it might be of interest to detail how the album was made. Anyone who follows my blog will know that I occasionally put up videos of synth jams, using hardware… Read More rozz3r – inSpiral (new album out now)
Here’s a little jam to see us through these times of austerity (in posts that is). It’s the first jam featuring the mighty Sequentix Cirklon on sequencing duties. I was a big fan of the P3, Cirklon’s predecessor and the transition between them has been easy. I’ll save the details for another post suffice to… Read More Live electronica: inSpiral
Yet another in my series of live studio jams. It’s been a while since the last one as I’ve been busy sampling the Macbeth M5 which you can hear in action as the main melody in this piece. Here’s a rundown of what’s doing what: Mixed on a Soundtracs Topaz 24ch mixer. MPC60 and Sequentix… Read More Live electronica: Nostalgia for Infinity
Another in my series of live studio jams. The idea being to capture the raw groove of a song in realtime. All these songs will be further edited, overdubbed and generally mangled to form either an EP or an album, but I thought it would be interesting to post the initial song sketch as it… Read More Live electronica: White Globe

Getting away from the Mac/PC to make music is a joy. In the last year or so I’ve been making gear purchases with the goal of writing electronic music ‘live’, with the computer doing nothing except acting as a glorified tape recorder. The whole rig is based around a Sequentix P3 sequencer which provides a… Read More Live electronica: rozz3r – Bonfire Calm
Tongue firmly in cheek… I’ve been listening to a lot of old rave tunes lately, and for a long time I’ve been thinking it might be fun to write one. To make it more interesting, I used only one bit of software, FXpansion’s Geist. No host, no other plugins, no hardware. Geist is the perfect… Read More Hardcore you know the score!
I made a little demo of the Yamaha TG33 FM / Waverom synthesizer. Unlike most of the TG33 demos I found on youtube, this one is definitely aimed at anyone making electronic music. For old synths like this the ‘flicking through presets’ style of youtube demo does little to show potential. So you won’t hear… Read More Yamaha TG33 Demo
