Prvý sneh [First Snow]

FUN FACT: After exporting and uploading the video to YouTube and social media, I realized that I had accidentally uploaded the wrong video file. The posts were already live, the comments had started rolling in, so there was nothing left to do but keep the incorrect version online. The correct one, for the sake of my OCD traits can be found HERE. Only a keen eye will notice the minor differences :D

My first attempt and first steps into sampling using the Akai S3000XL sampler. The beat was sampled from the one and only Ned Haweeli, combined with my old upright piano, recorded using a surprisingly great and affordable ribbon microphone – t.bone RB 100. I also used my very first analog synthesizer and, in my opinion, an excellent 303 clone – Behringer TD-3. Additional sounds were created using Yamaha DX11 (keyboard version of the TX81Z) and Yamaha S30 synthesizers. Effects and mixing were handled by the Yamaha 02R and Lexicon MX200, the Valeton GP-100 guitar effects unit, and a spring reverb taken from an old Vermona guitar combo (used mainly on the TD-3). The master was recorded to cassette via a Toshiba PC-G3 tapedeck and, during re-recording back to PC, processed through an Aphex Aural Exciter Type C to restore and saturate the high frequencies.
