NightJam @RobinRimbaudScanner

Uploaded November 2021 | Updated September 2026, 3 weeks ago

Music video for tracks Sleepless City and S'alright created for Scanner's collaborative music project 'NightJam'. The tracks are set to images of the nocturnal city, using photographs produced with the New Horizon Youth Centre in King’s Cross. Bleary traffic lights, curtained windows, party people and figures moving across the city are captured against the dark backdrop of the night.

$Sensel Morph + Madrona Labs Aalto A little improvisation on a rainy Saturday morning, as grey skies hang heavily over the mood of the day. I love such simple set ups as this, using the Sensel Morph - a tablet-sized pressure sensor - with Madrona Labs Aalto software. The Morph offers such a playful and sensitive way of approaching performance, where every little twist and turn of your fingers can affect the sound, very much like a traditional instrument like a piano. Here Im using one of their overlays which emulates the design and functionality of the Buchla Thunder controller, and at a fraction of the price! Aalto is one of my favourite pieces of software, a semi-modular software synthesizer with an innovative, patchable interface, and here Im using a patch that Randy, the developer himself, created. So this took all of 30 seconds to set up and play. Happy listening.$
