Washed Out | Far Away | Moog Sound Lab

Watch more Moog Sound Lab performances here: bit.ly/MoogSoun...
Ernest Greene, the man behind Washed Out, stepped into the Moog Sound Lab and transformed his song Far Away from the 2011 album "Within and Without". In its original incarnation "Far Away" was built around vibes, bells & stringed instruments, but here Greene tears down the song and completely rebuilds it on a foundation of Moog Synths.
Lead Vocalist & Keyboardist Ernest Greene performs with a Little Phatty analog synthesizer. The harpsichord-esque sound created was then synced to Ableton Live and arpeggiated, and filter sweeps are then applied throughout the song.
Percussionist Cameron Gardner utilizes the Trap-Kat MIDI controller to trigger 3 Rack Mounted Minimoog Voyagers, which combined, create the kick, snare, and hi-hat patches.
Bassist Chris Gardner forgoes his bass guitar and carries the bottom end with a single Minitaur analog bass synthesizer.
Keyboardist and Vocalist Blair Greene uses a Select Series Minimoog Voyager as a controller for Animoog, Moog's iPad based Anisotropic synthesizer to recreate the song's pads.

[@simoneromanello4387]

MAN I FUCKING LOVE WASHED OUT

[@KingMob4313]

What's really absurd about this band is that I've heard so many different arrangements of their songs, played radically different live over the years.

[@anthonycostine5067]

Epic.

[@ModernDevotion]

The chords are from the ipad running animoog. it's being midi controlled via the Brown Voyager notice they go away when she switches to the white voyager for the lead.

[@2463572]

This is so fucking good. I've been listening to this all day.

[@RobTheBernardinosaur]

Wait a second this shit sounds unbelievable for being live holy shit

[@AMTunLimited]

Yep. The drum pad it sending one-off signals to a few rack-mounted Voyagers. If you look at the blue shining moogs behind the girl, you can see the red lights flash in time, like at 2:38

[@officialluckyturn]

[@ErichOsten89]

this sounds so nice

[@DaisukeKunNyo]

the chords/pads came from the moog animoog app
he seems to do the arpeggio if i saw/heard right
but you can hook up multiple moog slim phattys to a moog little phatty to get a polyphonic chain via midi

[@doom705]

[@morak56]

[@joaovictorcabanas8519]

[@ellcue09]

Lovvve it!

[@BlakJak003]

fuckin amazing

[@maxsanchez4006]

yeah. i was trying to figure that out, too. i thought the LP was monophonic, but apparently i stand corrected

[@flowerpower111]

Moog lab is the shit!!!

[@midiphy]

Awesome! :-)

[@Rickysaur]

even nicer than the original version

[@armcannon1998]

Read the description and it tells you that they are. It also tells how.

[@Pauloalvesmendes]

So good! :(

[@LF0]

I need a wee, but I can't get up now I've clicked on this video

[@ModernDevotion]

The chords are coming from the iPad running Animoog the voyager is just a midi keyboard at that point. The other Little Phatty Arpeggiator is the other use in this song.

[@femmenrouge1]

Adam Rojo I was wondering how she was playing polyphonic on a monophonic synth but now I see how

[@DaisukeKunNyo]

you can hook up multiple slim phattys to get a polyphonic chain via midi

[@arekkusu2006]

The live band stuff was fantastic! I think the original was the best version, then the kexp live band one is a close second (debatable 1st)

[@ozkaroxte]

Trap-Kat XL

[@dilliot2k]

are the drums all synthesized with moog gear?

[@nicciGT]

amazing :]

[@a.j.gonzalez438]

They should have performed "feel it all around" in that room.

[@amarok5048]

Where can I buy Moog Sound Lab music?

[@Madamonitor]

Blair Greene uses an amazing synth patch for her keyboard solo! I wish i knew what it was....

[@MostfaandMostfa]

make it :D

[@_Thorsten]

It was a Moog :)

[@bromaier]

jeeeeesus get an mp3 up in here plz

[@novicabozunovich]

The LP is monophonic, but you can daisy chain SP's to it and create more voices.

[@kevintran9689]

WE NEED A DOWNLOAD LINK FOR THIS VERISON

[@saswanie]

lovely rendition. is there a place where you can acquire/download this moog version?

[@2ammusik]

Where did those chords come from,, it seems like he played the chords on the Little Phatty? Cool song BTW!

[@doingmybest222]

Zoning

[@officialluckyturn]

[@glsemawang]

Anyone know what brand is the drum pad?

[@faiAhmed94]

[@Galewinds]

When I close my eyes I can see Radiohead performing this.

[@mtkbeat]

[@aladaris]

Stranger Things?!

[@Lirka_906]

This song is way older

[@Travybakersk8er]

This might as well be Enjoy the Silence.

[@216trixie]
