My name is Marcus, a.k.a. Garrettimus, and I live in Sao Paulo, Brazil. Some friends and I have put together an amateur synth group called "Uridium" (named after a popular Commodore 64 game). We´re producing our very first album "Beyond the Shores of the Cosmic Ocean" with space-themed music. Inspiration comes from Jean Michel Jarre, Vangelis, Giorgio Moroder, Tangerine Dream etc.
Basically, we´re using the following equipment: Roland SH-201, Microkorg, Yamaha PSR 400, MSSIAH (a MIDI cartridge for the Commodore 64) and an electric piano by Yamaha. We´re using also the following softwares: Reason 4, Ableton Live, and The Oddity (an emulated ARP Odyssey).
We´re neither professional musicians nor experienced players, but we love music. The proccess is taking too long for we´re unexperienced. LOL!
Here´s our MySpace page with some demo tracks: http://www.myspace.com/uridiumsynth
Here´s a video:
I´ll be in California in August and am looking forward to buying a real analog synth there.
Take care,
Marcus.
