UFO 61

Built in the 1970s, this simple synthesizer has a smooth, quaint tone with a warm, pleasantly fuzzy texture. Like many early suitcase organs and portable synths that proliferated during the era, it has just a few core instrument voices, a single speaker, simple rhythm box and a basic selection of classic organ controls. The 1970s saw an explosion of dozens of one-off and small label synthesizers coming out of southern and eastern Europe, especially in Italy. These pioneers in electronic musical instruments popularized synthesizers and brought the sound into the mainstream through both popular music and popular television and film soundtracks.   ARTIST JOHN VALASIS [WEBSITE] [MUSIC] [FACEBOOK] UFO 61 was recorded by John Valasis.
