Just got Legowelt Classics 1998 - 2003 from my local plastic slinger, had no idea this was coming out (repress apparently?) So many great things on here, Strange Girl is a fucking great track. Damn.

Enter the STAR SHEPHERD a synth I Build/bent/hacked/modified from old guitar pedals FX and EQ boxes, a small AM radio and a 1981 Casio 403 keyboard. The oscillator section is made out of  Pitchshifter/Harmonizers/Sub Octavers and a graphic EQ pedal to create complex harmonic tones – transmorphed from the simple keyboard sounds fed by the Casio. The sound then goes through a bunch of circuitbend Analog delays, reverbs, Tremolos & Vibratos (figuring as makeshift LFO sources) and Wahwah pedals as filters. The AM radio is figuring as a  random noise source. There is also a very simple keyboard style ‘sequencer’ made from a looper pedal.

The case is made out of cheap plywood and everything is held together with screws, glue and tape. There are also some LED strips pulsating from the inside for some extra intense magic.

It is very noisey, crackley and sometimes starts doing its own thing like some sentient synthesizer being that is alive. This makes it quite an adventerous experience.

And of course, it's not just some weird circuit-bent monster that spits out trash like you might expect given the description, it sounds pretty fucking great. Because this is motherfucking Legowelt being a crazy cool weird music master. Have him and Richard ever met up and hung out? I feel like they're kindred spirits.

danny's the best

that rules.. i love the idea of a synth with a radio in. i'm unfamiliar with legowelt.. was looking through his site just now and.. OH, he made smackos tape station! i love that thing so much but had forgotten where it came from.

"unfamiliar with legowelt"????????????????????????

Agreed with pizza, Legowelt is required listening. Consistently good and interesting and with more pseudonyms than should be allowed, but he's earned that right. :)

OK im on it.. thanks =)

Some or all of those tunes are from Danny I guess? I don't recognize them. Love that designer's stuff that I've seen over the last year or two, some of it is really awesome. 

first one..

Ah, I'm definitely picking up the oberheim rerelease, kind of wished he'd kept the original artwork though, much prefer the black cover to the new one.

Was going to order one of the shirts but clone's shipping is just too much for me (think I complained about this before in this thread, sorry about that).

Got his amateur space jazz on a whim a couple of weeks ago, mostly because it was only 15 euro's and the artwork is fenominal (?!), didn't listen before buying and it turned out to be so much better than I expected. Really solid album with great atmospheres and things to experience.   

^ Essential album. Big want.

Held a 2018 repress of the teac life in my hands yesterday, had no idea that was coming. Looked like a really nice package but it was a bit more than I could afford.

relistening to "Amiga Railroad Adventures", still one of my favourite Legowelt Albums. Would definitely deserve a vinyl re-release.
