NIGHTFALL IN NOVEMBER:
Smoothly colorize your November and beyond with this fusion of Bossa Nova and Lounge where super-chilled electric guitars meet together with sensual electric piano and atmospheric synthesizers as these harmonious and melodic elements shine through the elegant soundscape while laid-back Latin percussions and an analog drum machine provide an exotic blend of electro-acoustic rhythms to relax your mind, body and soul as nightfall approaches.
ORIGINAL RELAXING CHILLOUT LOUNGE MUSIC BY GERRY MONINGKEY
Prod: Gerry Moningkey
Recording & Performance: Gerry Moningkey
Sound Design: Gerry Moningkey
Mixing & Mastering: Gerry Moningkey
Music Backstory:
- “Even though I wonder how was the story from her perspective, sometimes there’s peace in not knowing. The sense of mystery is far more comforting than a potential bitter truth ready to backfire on one’s curiosity.”
Music Notes:
- The drum/rhythm section of “Nightfall in November” consists of a combination of two different drum machines: the Roland R-8 MKII, responsible for all the Latin percussions and cymbals throughout the music, and the IK Multimedia UNO Drum. The latter is mostly an “EDM-esque” instrument, but its deep dancefloor kick brings a really Lounge-ish Electro-Bossa vibe to the track.
- Like my most recent music releases, “Nightfall in November” is made completely with hardware/real musical instruments and some hardware effects processors. One notable effect unit that colorizes the sound signature of this music is the Elektron Analog Heat which brings thickness, depth, and warmth to many of the instruments and sounds used on this track.
Gears used:
- Yamaha Pacifica P112J (Electric Guitar)
- Yamaha Reface CP (Synthesizer/Electric Piano)
- Roland R-8 MK II (Drum Machine)
- IK Multimedia UNO Drum (Drum Machine)
- Korg Triton Rack (Synthesizer)
- Roland MKS-20 (Electric Piano, Vibraphone and Bass)
- Oberheim Viscount Minigrand (Lead Piano)
- Elektron Analog Heat (Effect Processor)
- Canon EOS R-50 (Mirrorless Camera: for music cover/thumbnail and video recording)
Both the thumbnail and video for this music are my original photograph/video recording.

![MFB-501 Pro Drum Machine Unboxing | Vlog
Skip to 1:38 for sound test.
The perfect drum machine for Chillout Lounge music. MFB-501 Pro is a modern analog drum machine sporting a vintage/retro look and has very distinct analog sounds, most notably its characteristic Bongo sound which is also present on the MFB-501 Pros little brother, the MFB-301 Pro. Besides the analog side of things, the MFB-501 Pro unlike the 301 Pro has a Sample capability thus also making it a hybrid drum machine (Analog and Digital, like the TR-909). The sample engine of the MFB-501 Pro is very lofi and crunchy which adds to the uniqueness of this drum machine besides its deep and rounded analog sounds. Sampling on this unit however is unlike Akai MPCs (directly record/input the audio), the MFB-501 Pro uses USB connection to computer for sample transporting.
Overall a great purchase on Thomann, this thing came all the way from Germany (although Thomann is located in Germany, MFB is also a German Company, and the MFB-501 Pro is a Made in Germany gear, adding variety to my drum machine collection which mostly consists of Made in Japan ones [Roland, Yamaha])
The thing about MFBs synthesizers and drum machines is that theyre all very limited production. The precursor to this unit, the MFB-301 Pro is in production for a very short time from 2019 and already discontinued last year just when 501 Pro has been released mid year so all things MFB will eventually become rare and collectable, like the Tanzbar and 522 drum machine etc. MFB-501 Pro Drum Machine Unboxing | Vlog](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/nEeqsFcdSJA/mqdefault.jpg)
