An instrumental made very fast just to test how the Tascam US-122 USB Audio/Midi Interface would work on my not so powerful laptop (1,60 GHz - 512 MB RAM). It managed to handle about 16 mono tracks without complaining. Written and performed by Mystery 2009.

Instruments used: Roland TR-606, Roland CompuRhythm CR-8000, Arturia MinimoogV, Arturia Arp 2600V, Korg MicroKorg. Written and performed by Mystery. Make sure to watch in HQ.

A cover version of Paul McCartney's "Heaven On A Sunday". Instruments used: Seagull S6 and Roland CompuRhythm Cr-8000. Make sure to watch in HQ.

A cover of OMD's "Bloc Bloc Bloc". Instruments used: Novation K-Station, MicroKorg, Electribe ER-1 and Electribe ES-1. Songwriters: OMD (from the album "Crush", 1986.

This piece of music was created during the first test of my new phaser; 
The Big Brick Stage Edition. The phaser was built by Michael Kukat inspired by the Electro-Harmonix Small Stone Phaser. Make sure to watch all his You Tube videos building the phaser from start to finish. And make sure to watch this video in HQ mode.

I wrote this instrumental as a tribute to Yazoo as I've always been a big fan. All keyboard parts are played on the Korg MicroKorg. Drumsounds are from the Korg Electribes: ER-1 and ES-1.The video is a slideshow of photos I took during 3 concerts I attended with Yazoo during their 2008 Reconnected Tour. Hope you enjoy!

This video was an experiment to see how OMD's Electricity would sound using only two small Casio keyboards and a drum machine. All keyboard parts are played live - no sequencing - since neither one of them have any type of sync. The video is very basic as it is my very first try at making one. Hope you enjoy!

Music & Lyrics: Paul Humphreys/Andy McCluskey (OMD)

"Today, Steen and I will show you a quite interesting small project. Steen has a broken Roland CR-78 and sits in Denmark, I have the knowledge to repair it and sit in Germany. He could send the unit to me to have me repair it, but we tried a different thing, as Steen thought that he could do the job if I guide him through the steps.

So I told him what material he needs to replace the potentially failed latches for the instrument triggers, he got the material, I told him a bit how to solder and desolder, created the desoldering video recently, and after those preparations, we started all this.

So enjoy this video and see, how everything worked out. From those 8 hours of work, I just have 25 minutes of video material which I had to cut down to 10 minutes for YouTube. So lots of fun is missing there, but we hope, you enjoy it anyway."
