""THE TEACHES OF PEACHES WAS WRITTEN AND PRODUCED USING A ROLAND MC-505 GROOVEBOX..."

PIC(S) INFO: Spotlight on one of several Roland MC-505 units — a self-contained synthesizer, drum machine and sequencer — used by PEACHES in her early career. Courtesy of the artist.

MINI-OVERVIEW: ""The Teaches of Peaches" was written and produced using a Roland MC-505 Groovebox, in a super-simple one-machine, bedroom set-up. It wasn’t even just a bedroom set-up, she says. “It was anywhere I could find a plug… I wasn’t really interested in the traditional, layered ways of composing. I was more interested in a punk way, using electronics, but saying ‘this is the bass, this is the guitar, these are the drums. That’s your instruments and they all have their place. They all get heard’. I just wanted to make sure that the one sound is just slamming and it’s direct and it hits you between the eyes.”

"I liked to use it back then because I would find very direct sounds I really liked,” she says, "probably sounds KRAFTWERK used [laughs]. I looked at the name of one of the sounds I used a lot, and it was the sine tone. Literally the sine tone. I would slightly manipulate it, but I thought it was so direct and it had such a perfect place in what I was doing.""

Coldwave in my understanding

So, I want to tell about my way of understanding of genre coldwave. Coldwave, gothic. As I understand it. In terms, of I trying to learn music instruments – bass guitar, electrocutor, synthesizer.

 In my vision of this direction, there is no need to be a goth. And to be a depressive too. As in one interview someone said from Dreadful Shadows – If you have a depression. Then you will never do any music at all.  You will be very busy with other things, and not with music. It is such a music. Such a mood. Answering the question. And do you need to be a depressive to play gothic rock in different its ways.

For me music of cold wave. It is such a mood. Something similar. As to sit a little in a shadow. In a cold shadow. In a hot summer day. There is hot and summer at the street. And you are siting in a shadows of the trees. To climb deep into the trees. In a small forest. And it is little cold there. It is wind with cold. And little dark.

In this terms ideal is a track Clan Of Xymox – Climate Change from album Matters of Mind, Body and Soul. It is a very long title. Strange front cover. But darker part of it I like. They have strange front covers. And album itself I like a lot. Album makes on me a big impression at those times. And as a thing, I like a lot this song – Climate Change. It is ideal descriptions what is gothic and cold wave. In my vision.

Wind is blowing. Cold. A little cold outside. It is dark as darker part of front cover. And it is like in a hot day. When it is stands a hot summer. You are turn on air conditioner. Or take a little fresh and cold. Such a contrast.

Also, I want to mark and a first album Sisters of Mercy – First and last and Always. Dark and interesting. In a shadows, in a fog such visual. It has very interesting sound, mysterious. And also, I want to mark their glam moment – album Floodland. And also, a movement into heavy metal. But it is still in gothic. As I start, I will finish with Dreadful Shadows. With their song Dead Can Wait. And a song from album Buried Again. Such a rock and atmosphere, gothic tracks like Dusk. I like this track a lot. I want to finish with some strings as I remember them by memory, from one of the songs from this disc. As I get it, my own. Very my own.

ベア・ナックル II 「１９９２」

"The soundtrack was influenced by electronic dance music, specifically house, techno, hardcore techno, and breakbeat. The soundtrack for Streets of Rage 2 is considered 'revolutionary' and ahead of its time, for its 'blend of swaggering house synths,' 'dirty' electro-funk and 'trancey electronic textures that would feel as comfortable in a nightclub as a video game.'"

Bobine n°1 - Première vidéo d'une série de trois vidéos, où je mélange narration, musique, photo argentique et 3d. Tout ce qui est produit ici est réalisé par moi grâce à Blender pour la 3d, Ableton pour le son et quelques effets sont ajoutés grâce à After Effects.

L'idée dans cette série était de montrer mes photos argentiques mais d'une différente manière.
