Tracks/EPs/albums made with a single synth

[Rooftree]

Awesome idea!

There was an album by Solvent done entirely on a CS-15. I don't know the name of it.

Novachord Restoration Project "Music of the Electron" is awesome

great tracks nrjizer. thank you for posting them!

[Ossicle]

Good thread, excellent tracks, nrjizer!

Makes me want to choose one of my synths and do this. I bet this limitation would boost creativity.

[nrjizer]

Can't forget this classic:

Aril Brikha - Groove La Chord [Ensoniq SQ-80 w/ Roland R8]

aril brikha - groove la chord (better audio) - YouTube

[Ossicle]

Another great track (Brikha) but I find the tracks where even the drums are made with the same synth more interesting, in this sense.

Danny Wolfers (Legowelt) did the entirety of Klaus Weltman "Cultus Island" on a Korg Mono/Poly. As with a lot of his stuff, there's a nice 70's Eurohorror kind of vibe going on throughout

Some nice info about the Mono on his page, along with a few samples from his work on that album: Legowelt Studio Korg Mono/Poly

Solvent made an entire ep (RDJCS5-ep) with a Yamaha CS5 monosynth that used to belong to Aphex Twin.

[nrjizer]

Yes!

Excellent!

Pretty much anything done by this awsomw dude. Check out the other clips on his youtube channel. He has a movie or two for each synth. It's all multi-tracking:

[vstace]

Joy Electric's entire album "The White Songbook" was made entirely with a Roland 100m system.

Brian Eno's album "Apollo" was mostly DX7

And I'm sure there are many productions that have been made with only a Machinedrum.

The "snare" that can be heard in the very beginning of the song sounds very much like to the rimshot of the Boss DR-55 drum machine, that's cool.

I'm sure everyone's seen these by now but i'll put em up for any late comers:





All done on my Korgs, apart from drums and the odd bit of pink telecaster action. My third video will feature the Oberheim Matrix 6, i'm just working on patches at the moment

Very much enjoyed that, the noise percussion is lovely!

[Funk Fiction]

I've read from a few different sources that Robert Miles wrote Children entirely on the Kurzweil K2000.

[PES]

Good stuff! Like the topic, like the posts (xanderbeans: looking forward to the Matrix 6 song).

I find these kinds of restrictions interesting to work with. In one way it's challenging since you have limited resources, but it also makes it easier somehow, since you know exactly what frames to work within. If you know the synth well that is. Otherwise it's a good way to get to know a new instrument.

While it's a tried and tested concept, here is an album I did on a Nintendo Game Boy:

Damn, now you have me lusting for a sys100. They sound RICH. Too bad I've already made a major purchase a few weeks ago . Maybe in 6 months...

Andromeda by Carl Craig.

[Schlachthof]

I made all the sounds in this track with a Moog Source.

[Tridact]

Andy Meecham (aka Emperor Machine, Sir Drew, etc. member of Bizarre Inc., Chicken Lips etc.) made an album with each song done with one synth:

Monophonic Vol. 1
Korg MS10
Moog Prodigy
EMS VCS3
Roland SH101
Yamaha CS15
Moog Little Phatty
Oberheim Sem
Roland System 100
Roland SH7

Todd Terje interviews him about it:

Again apologies to anyone who's seen this before, this is something I did on just a Matrix 1000 [ except for the drums ].
