The Acid Symphony Orchestra

The Acid Symphony Orchestra is the brainchild of Jori Hulkkonen. Imagine 10 Roland TB-303′s one Roland TR-707 drum machine, and one Roland TR-808 drum machine. All wonderfully in sync, all tweaked by members of the band – ‘conducted’ by Jori – it’s a techno producer’s wet dream.
The Orchestra is:
-
- Juha Matinmäki
- Aku “Huoratron” Raski
- Kalle Karvanen
- Jussi-Pekka “Monoder” Parikka
- Janne “Burdock” Puurunen
- Tatu “Mr Velcro Fastener” Peltonen
- Kimmo “Acid Kings” Oksanen
- Pete “Sintetik” Salonen
- Tuomas Toivonen
- Johannes “TinMan” Auvinen

You can find used TB303′s TR808′s and TR707′s with our auction finder. We also sell Roland TB-303 fridge magnets at our online store – go check them out here: Synthesizer fridge magnets.
So wait a minute. This guy can afford TEN 303s & an 808, but opts for a TR-707 instead of a TR-909? MADNESS!
I am actually amazed he was able to keep it from sounding like pure chaos. I think he is mixing one or a few up front and the others out, or way back in the mix.
