J. Fredrik Andersson rediscovers CR-78 Drum Machine, just in time for his latest release.
"Artemis III was the first song I wrote for the EP. And for a long time I was stuck with the drums on the track. I could not get the feel I was looking for, and tried a lot of different things without any success.
Then I remembered that I had previously bought the CR-78 Drum Machine from Cherry Audio . So I fired it up and started to browse through some of the presets, and there it was! Instant inspiration. After some tweaking the song came alive! The CR-78 can also be heard on Artemis IV, and I bet it will be started up for later work
So thank you Cherry Audio for bringing the old Roland drum-machine back to life!
This is the third video from my EP "Artemis". Here we follow our spaceship on its journey to Mars. Has the long journey made our astronaut hallucinate or dream? Are there really aliens playing music on board the space shuttle? What do you think? My EP Artemis is inspired by space exploration and the visionary people wanting to explore and learn more about the universe (and life and everything :-) ) Artemis is the NASA space initiative that one day wants to send humans to Mars."
The Artemis EP is now available from several distributors.
