Chimes and Cellos

Another experiment using the Minimoog to create a bell-like chime. With the EHX Oceans 12 Tremolo setting, it takes on a vibraphone sound.
Analog Tingles

A Moog Mavis and Minimoog (not pictured) create a cool bell-like chime. Also using my “cello hack” on the Mavis.
Agitated Apiary

Bees peacefully pollinating flowers…suddenly, the hive is being threatened! Attack! Be sure to listen to the end to hear the swarm!
Duettino Originale

A very short experiment in composing a string duet. This song was created using a Moog Mavis module that was mounted in a NiftyKEYZ keyboard / enclosure.
Gliding Into Orbit

This song is one of my better “cello” emulations. It’s about 3 minutes, so please take the time to give it a listen. The cello part comes through with quite an emotional feeling.
Embers of Subconscious II

I felt like this song was missing a few things…mostly bass and percussion. This version fixes that with the addition of a Rickenbacker bass track, an egg shaker, a rattle and some brass chimes.

Big Mouth Mimic

June 5, 2026 by Joe

Here’s a song where I recreated the sound of the “Big Mouth Singers” toy keyboard from the 70s / 80s (Google it). The Behringer Poly D was sequenced to provide the rhythm. I’m playing the NiftyKEYZ keyboard with the pitch switch set to the highest setting. It is controlling my Minimoog via midi (not shown) because I can’t quite get this high using the Minimoog’s own keyboard. The Minimoog output is going through an Electro-Harmonix Oceans 12 pedal using the “TREM” setting with a rather choppy waveform to replicate the Big Mouth Singers sound.
