Lets just get this straight.. John Carpenter is my top inspiration, I can easily say if it was not for him I would not be the person I am today. The inspiration he has given me through his music and movies has undeniably set its marks on everything creative i do. I might not be a master movie director, but the music part is something i keep very close to my heart.
One of my favourite Carpenter themes is from the Movie Christine, problem with this is that I really like the movie soundtrack better than The Splash band versions of the track.. however there are some elements in the splash band version that works... so after 33 years of thinking about it, I finally decided to merge the elements i like the most and make a cover version :)
This is completely freeform and live straight to 2-track with no multitracking involved. Also i take a lot of liberties interpreting the melodies and time signatures .. see it as my hommage to the master of horror music !
Gear used: Nord lead A1, Reface CP (intro section) + Bluesky and particle delay on the CP. Braids in the modular plays the main sequence which gets some modulation from the maths + tides + keeley caverns reverb and delay. 0-coast adds a bassline which is washed with reverb in the elektron A4.. the A4 itself adds the classic 4:4 bass notes.. main theme melody is played on the KORG monologue. Drums from the TR-8.. thats it :)
Hope you like it! And also a big shout out to mr Carpenter, thank you for making all the movies and music over the years.. you are my hero !

![BURG1k Hardware Jam Group Challenge [Challenge Ended on 12/5]](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/QqyJr6Y-LKY/mqdefault.jpg "BURG1k Hardware Jam Group Challenge [Challenge Ended on 12/5]
This challenge has Ended on 2018-12-05, thanks for all submissions!
The main idea of this challenge is to give others insight and inspiration of what they can get for 1000USD, also what the setup could potentially sound like.
My music:
Bandcamp ► https://music.ollilab.com/
Spotify ► https://open.spotify.com/artist/5lPHagff7SG960LQZfva9Q
The total cost of gear should NOT exceed 1000 USD
The cost should be for ALL music gear used, synths, FX pedals etc
Video and Audio recorder units, Mixing console and cables, peripherals are excluded from the total cost calculations
A complete list of the gear, items used is mandatory in the post detailing the total cost.
Please remember for your own submissions, videos are easier to review should there be any questions regarding the actual use of equipment, so if you know that your track will sound complex, a video is recommended.
Also, try and keep your track below or around 5 minutes, there will be a lot of music for all of us to review and listen to.
Make sure to check out my third BURG1k session, maybe this one can help give you guys some inspiration!
