The song's ascending string motif was recorded using a Solina String Ensemble, a classic string machine synth used by Pink Floyd in "Shine on You Crazy Diamond" and Elton John in "Someone Saved My Life Tonight." What made the Solina special was its built-in ensemble effect, which allowed it to mimic the width of a full orchestra. The first single was "Clint Eastwood," named after the actor.
Gorillaz's self-titled debut album was released in 2001, and introduced listeners to Albarn's new eclectic tastes, mixing hip-hop and rock with dub-reggae and a grunge-y vibe. I'll dive into songs from several of the group's albums in chronological order, and recreate some of my favourite Gorillaz sounds with software synths. He also used a Dave Smith Instruments Prophet-6 for the Gorillaz's 2017 tour.Īdditionally, Albarn makes use of two Roland Space Echos-the RE-201 and the RE-501 Chorus Echo-and it's likely that Albarn uses these for much of Gorillaz' spacier tracks. Albarn also seems to like Prophets-his studio has a Sequential Circuits Prophet-5 and Prophet T8.
There are several vintage Korgs such as the MS-10 and MS-20, as well as a VC-10 Vocoder. Albarn's studio, called 13 Studio, is based in West London and hosts a huge array of recording gear, including a Neve VR 72 desk and a wall fully stocked with keyboards, synthesizers, and old tape delay machines.ġ3 Studio's synth collection include several Moog synths, such as the vintage Moog Prodigy, the powerhouse Moog Voyager and the modern Moog Little Phatty. Being a virtual band, much of the group's image and promotion focuses on the four animated characters that officially comprise the band, and although these guys are sometimes depicted with musical instruments, they generally don't offer much insight into the gear used on their records.
