about

One Riff Trip (short) music video: youtu.be/7W1vp7E2hys

"Years ago I visited Roisto's studio and got my hands on his x0xb0x synthesizer. Now, I have never had the honour to play a real TB-303 (invites are welcome!) and purists might whine about "get original or nothing", but for me this little machine was easily good enough and very addictive. I got absorbed in tweaking the controls, love how the same riff can change so much its groove and mood. And the singing filter gave warm nostalgic feeling too, as there were tons of acid samples around in 90s when I started making electronic music with trackers.

I was unaware (but glad) that Roisto recorded about 10 minutes of it. Afterwards I used it pretty much uncut, added a beat and started to play endlessly different layers and variations on top of it. Eventually it had grown to be this trippy piece of synth journey drifting through different scenes, riding on just one riff. Which alone should be enough anyway.

Curiously that is far from the only time somebody records me without me knowing. I play a lot, but rarely record. Fortunately this annoys Jarno during our Soft Knees weekends, and he keeps hitting rec on me all the time :) A practice I should develope, too."
