The sounds and stylings of Phoenix.
What it is:
Seven Ableton Live projects featuring MIDI tracks, effects chains, drum racks, and more to nail the sounds of Phoenix.
How we use it:
Learn the sound design behind Phoenix's work.
Why it's cool:
From the patches to the parts, each session provides a foundation for building your own track.These are the Ableton Projects used to create the three selected songs from Radiohead. Phoenix’s philosophy is that they love either very cheap instruments or very expensive, high-quality ones. The French indie-rock band’s sound is a blend of poppy hooks and sonic charm, with the band using a combination of guitars, vintage synthesizers, and toy keyboards to craft their sound. Their 2009 album ‘Wolfgang Amadeus Phoenix’ won a Grammy for Best Alternative Music album, and was co-produced by fellow Frenchman Philippe Zdar of the synth-pop duo Cassius. Zdar is also an avid lover of vintage synths, and mixes on analog desks to create a driven, focused mix.
Both Phoenix and Zdar are big fans of the Yamaha CS-80, a legendary vintage synthesizer notable for being one of the earliest polyphonic synthesizers, and for being used in the Blade Runner soundtrack. The CS-80’s sound quality is first-rate, and it truly embodies the character of analog synths. It is also a true performance instrument, with extra capabilities such as velocity control, aftertouch and a ribbon controller. CS-80’s are rare, heavy, and super expensive, but luckily Arturia has created a faithful software emulation called CS-80 V.
Phoenix also use the Korg Trident frequently, typically for creating huge bass sounds, such as in the ‘1901’ intro. As the name implies, the Korg Trident has three independent sections: synth, strings and brass. The synth and brass sections are similar to the Korg Polysix, and the string section of the Trident features a unique bowing effect. The Trident also has an onboard flanger effect. Korg haven’t released a software version of the Trident, however they have released a software Polysix emulation that sounds similar to the synth section of the Trident.
