Geoff from geoffmobile.com does a 20 minute improv jam on his Roland Gaia SH-01 synthesizer. (Entirely original improvised music!)
My primary objective for this session was to explore the tonal qualities of the synth, rather than melodic or harmonic ideas. I focused on creating new sounds and effects.
At one point in this video I attempt to use the Roland Gaia’s Phrase Recorder, but the annoying metronome and confusing interface resulted in me abandoning this effort. However aside from the confusing Phrase Recorder, I find this synth very easy to use in general.
Recorded in Vancouver BC Canada on November 4th 2012.
Are you a filmmaker in Vancouver (or anywhere around the world) and are looking for a composer for your score? If you would like me to make some music for your short film, please email me at geoff@gpeters.com and I would love to hear from you!
