TUOCD-002 Sunshine Jones – JUPITER 4-6-8

NEW RELEASE!
TUOCD-002 – Sunshine Jones – JUPITER 4-6-8
// Meditations away from computers, internet, telephones, and even MIDI. This is a 10 minute exploration of the Jupiter 4, 6 and 8 clocked from a TR-909 Trigger output only.

Part 1. Awaken in space
Part 2. The experience of weightlessness
Part 3. Near-miss
Part 4. Lonesome machines which keep us together
Part 5. Aching for flowers
Part 6. Roots in space (tribute to many things)

With the exception of some drums from the TR-909 in the ending section, all sounds are programed and produced in real time using only the Jupiter-4, 6, and 8. No presets were used. Entirely performed from manual mode (–)

Roland Jupiter-6
Roland Jupiter-4
Roland TR-909
Boss J-5 Multiple
Roland RE-301 Space Echo
Roland-Aira Demora
Recorded live to a Revox PR-99 open reel tape deck in one take.

You can listen to this release on my bandcamp here

Stream all glorious 9′ 21″ of its unindexed movements (and guess which one is which) for free on bandcamp, or you can score it and have it in your files for only $5 (more if you want).

I started this project last year, making the most of having a Jupiter-4, Jupiter-6 and a Jupiter-8 all in the same room at the same time and in prepartion for my next full length release (hopeully out this year) where side one and side two are each recorded in one take. I quickly realized that I would need some real, loving, and committed practice to this ambitious undertaking. ‘Be The Best Folk Singer You Can Be’ was a collection of 4 tracks on vinyl recorded this way, and this is a further exploration/meditation to help me coordinate so many things at once (the hardest part is vocals, so many takes, omg).

I really hope you love and enjoy this as much as I did making it.
More to come, but always, and only, from the deepest part of my heart. From me to you, with love.

LOVE
