Kebu - To Jupiter and Back demo #shorts #tbt

This is how the tune To Jupiter and Back came to be! I wanted to learn how to program my Roland TR-606, so I thought the best way would be to try to compose a song with it. I used the TR-606 for triggering the arpeggio of the Roland Juno 60 as well as the gate of the Arp Axxe. Basically, it sends a pulse every time a high tom or low tom is played. So I muted the internal tom sounds and used the sequencer for triggering the synths instead. Since I can program the triggers rhythmically, the simple down-three-octaves arpeggio becomes an interesting, playable bass sequence instead, where the starting note is different depending on where the arpeggio is. This demo was recorded live without overdubs, performed in one go straight through. The video was recorded with multiple camera takes afterwards.
