Xeno & Oaklander Documentary by Vice - crazy analog synth c

Post by thiagozt » Tue Jul 13, 2010 5:27 am

I don't know if you guys like Xeno & Oaklander and I'm sure most people have never heard of them because they're far from being a mainstream band, but as gear addicts you will love this video. The guy has one of the biggest analog synth collections I have ever seen and the way he talks about it is simply amazing. All their music is 100% analog, I think he doesn't even use any midi devices in their setup, no backing tracks, everything 100% live. There's a bunch of bands doing kind of the same thing in NY, many of them under the minimal wave label, but that's a different post I guess. Anyway, I hope you enjoy the video. I've been posting a bunch of documentaries I like recently and I can't left this one out.

Thanks for posting about X&O. It is something i should have done months ago when I was pointed in their direction. Amazing collection, and wonderful music. It is some of my favorite electro pop around!

I love when owners of the 2600 only use it for a percussion instrument. Someone should make a sample pack of the drum sounds and sell it to others.
