Juno - 106

written and recorded in 1990

Juno-106 by Roland was the first synthesizer I ever touched and played. I didn’t buy it but took up an offer from my friend, who encouraged me to learn to play the instrument and generously allowed me to borrow it indefinitely. I borrowed it for about one and a half years until he finally asked me to return it back but it was quite instructive and precious experience for me to have been able to have much time for operating this specific analogue synthesizer.

This tune originally had its own theme and preceding intro but the main purpose I meant on writing this tune was to create enough time and space for sound-editing of the synthesizer to replace playing a long ‘solo’.

This was also written for The Rotten Brains, my band at that time, and the tune became one of our main repertoires during the summer of 1990.
