The recordings charts in the last weeks have been dominated by pharmacopia’s recordings. pharmacopia is the solo outlet for wind synthesist, RjDj’er, composer and producer Peter Dragotta.  He also released an album with his most famous recordings on jamendo!

Peter creates most of his recordings by patching the output of other devices into his iPhone instead of using the microphone. Which gives him better control of volume levels (especially on  shake scenes). His most famous charts topping recording was created with GarageAcidLab and uses sounds from adult oriented video material.

“I used material from those videos because for the most part you know the kind of audio source material you are going to get will be very consistent and over a techno beat it just always sounds great. As a guideline, I would never watch the video before composing the piece to maintain spontaneity. Yet on my recording using add_blips it was a bit more challenging in the beginning of that piece. It was validation for me that RjDj scenes are real instruments and the more you get familiar them the more expressive they can be.” To further prove my point, last night I composed two new pieces that are already posted up “Godzilla Has Entered The Building” and “God Loves To Text U”. On both pieces I would watch a video I never seen before and manipulate the audio input signal using a mini-Kaos Pad in one hand and RjDj in the other. On these two I focused on dynamics and change in mood.
