Artists With OP-1

I was on a Childish Gambino kick for a while, and I found this video of him playing his OP 1 and was sold on the instrument 100%.

[youtube video]

saw that one a while back. still can’t get over that last line… “aimin atchoo like I just sneezed” XD

Martin Stimming–not familiar to me–uses an OP-1. He shares his live workflow:

^ Been listening to Stimming’s stuff on Soundcloud - I really like it.

Interesting minimal setup he has there.
Not sure I could break a track down into three seperate channels though - Think i’d need more.

S’pose he’s only doing that so he can have the 8 channels of the APC for 2x3 channels for songs then the other 2 for OP and Moog.
If you had something like TouchAble on iPad then you could copy this setup but allow for more channels per song.

It sounds to me like he’s doing it for the sake of simplicity while performing I appreciate that he uses the OP-1, too, and that it isn’t just something to look pretty on the desk.

At the end it also sounds like he needs an Octatrack in his life >.>

These guys called ‘Sculpture’ use an OP-1 along with magnetic tapes and anything else they can their hands on.

Worth a watch and a listen

That there’s a really interesting vid, thanks. +1 with @spacetravelmadeeasy, really digging his stuff.

Gareth Liddiard from The Drones…weird one.


A short but interesting interview with Mark Stimming who is working on a score for Un Chien Andalou with a very Scandinavian live setup:

On iTunes there is an audio file of C418 mentioning his new synth the C418 and that he was excited to use it for more music in Minecraft.

Finnish artist Tomonttu playing a OP-1 at Dublab earlier this year.

^ The OP-1 in the RWGrace video doesn’t have any audio-out plugged in yet the sound seems to be to clear to be just taken from a mic from the OP speaker (plus you’d hear her tapping the keys too).


Don’t think this video is as “live” as it claims to be :wink: and that the OP mightve been overdubbed afterwards?

Right.

Live without a crowd ^^
Or MIDI out -> another machine maybe…

It’s a total video.
Still nice example of OP-1ness.
