System 100 Example

Improvisation (2026)

Notes

Testing a new OBS setup, I decided to record some examples of the Roland System 100, specifically the 101 model. It only has one oscillator but it’s probably my favourite of all time. Also with Boss PH2 Phaser and RE-2 Space Echo for additional FX.

Notes

Is no one inspired by our present picture of the universe? This value of science remains unsung by singers, you are reduced to hearing not a song or poem, but an evening lecture about it. This is not yet a scientific age. - Feynman credits released October 20, 2016
