It’s the first official release of Berry Lee Berry & the Benders: the single ‘Wail o Wail o Rocka Man’ from the forthcoming album ‘Berry Lee Berry & his Cherry Lee Cherry on Defence”. (Work Title!)
Martijn Benders plays a Weltmeister Claviset EP on this track:
What a beauty! Well, I dont have the original one, but play it trhough the wonderful Spectrasonics Keyscape VST plugin, who have sampled all the sounds of the original.
It was a challenge to play both dynamic and minimalist at the same time, as that would be most fitting to the track.
The Weltmeister Claviset EP, though not as widely recognized as some of its counterparts, holds a unique position in the pantheon of electronic instruments. Its charm lies not just in the mechanics of its sound production but in the ethereal quality it can imbue into compositions. For those who may not have the privilege of accessing the original instrument, the Spectrasonics Keyscape VST plugin offers a meticulously sampled homage that captures the essence of the Claviset’s sound.
Playing the Weltmeister Claviset through this plugin is an exercise in balance and restraint, demanding a simultaneous command of dynamics and minimalism.
It is a very special feeling to play along with my better half, who is (in my opinion) a great singer.
I intend to explore the Weltmeister further on future tracks of Berry Lee Berry!
