Some Underwater Motorik
Zeeon, Groovebox, Kosmonaut, AltiSpace, Audio Reverb, Feedbackguitar and ebowguitar played on Epiphone electricguitar through a mic-ed up Fender VibroChamp, recorded with ToneStack's MultiTrack Recorder.
Inspired by the pharmaceutically-fueled U-boats of WWII.
Thanks for listening!

Liked it a lot. The simple little main synth riff loop and its variations in and out really made it for me. And a nice slight variation on the 'classic' Motorik beat. My only complaint is the drums, the snare specifically, sounds swishy, like a 128 kbps mp3. If intentional I beg pardon.
How do you like the VibroChamp? I ran across a1970 or 1972 model recently at a small-town insurance agency/music shop (yep, they do both, also where I stumbled upon a pristine vintage Moog that I bought). Didn't play it but I thought about picking it up, but he's got a Twin Reverb from the '60s he's not quite willing to sell yet that I might try to hold out for.
Cool song, I wasn't familiar with the Motorik term before but that drum style is familiar.
Thanks!
I did do a little bit crushing on the snare.
The VibroChamp is a beauty. A 66 that my wife bought for me about 25 years ago. Oddly enough, the first amp that I ever owned as a teenager was a 65 Champ. Like an idiot teen, I quickly sold it because it "wouldn't blow down the walls" nor was it big enough for me to climb onto and jump off from! I bought a Peavey TNT because it was big and loud, man!😄
As great as the VibroChamps can be, I still wouldn't blame you for holding out for the 60s Twin. I have a 72 Twin with the Steve Jones mod of replacing the original speakers with Celestions. Sadly, I rarely get the opportunity to crank it up at home unless I desire a visit from the police.
Thanks!
The motorik is generally kick/kick/snare/kick (add hihats to taste) all day long. It's hypnotic...and addictive to make.
I hear ya. I don't currently have an amp, but I don't play live anymore so I don't really need one...I quite like DI tones and the Fabfilter Saturn. I used to always play with a Classic 30...perfect for Telecasters. I still feel like I need one, but I don't have a proper mic to record...and so on and more excuses until another expensive wormhole is inescapable.
I know about that. That was the first thing that I recorded using a real amp in quite awhile. I generally use the VibroChamp as my sofa amp when I'm sitting around noodling at home. Most of the time I use Flying Haggis or Bias for recording.
May I present you with the Klaus Dinger Seal of Accuracy!
Inspiring track, Jeff, thanks.
Klaus Dinger is such a powerful freakin drummer. Have you heard his Neóndian album? Funny this thread came about, I've listened to two Ashra albums and the aforesaid Dinger album today.
SYNCHRONICITY!
Touché!
Thanks!
I am truly honored.
That's a great track! Love that style of music.
Thank you so much.
I like it a lot. Think it could do with a little more love though. Clean up the drums a bit, get a more even performance for the synth part, spend some time on a better mix and master. I only say that cause I think the track is worth the trouble. Sometimes good compositions that could be great languish on soundcloud and it's sad
