Bandcamp Recommendations

Allomerus is a new band who are keen to to use new technology. Our first album has been conceived using not only real instruments but also synthesizers and sequencers on an iPad. We have used: gyrosynth, sunriser, isequence, iElectribe, DM1 and mellotronics M3000 to bring our music to you. We also use a Roland guitar synth for saxophone and trombone sounds and Electronic drums and percussion.

Allomerus is the name of our band and also of the name of the album. The music is best described as eclectic progressive rock and can be likened to Melbourne (Australia) weather, wait a few minutes and it will change. Allomerus' music varies from crunching chords with pounding drums to gentle guitar picking with percussion to ambient sounds, often in the same piece. There's something for everyone. 

You can listen and/or download our music from bandcamp

The great thing about a guitar synth is that when you bend a string it bends naturally (non-linear) and so the sax sounds more natural than bending a note on a keyboard.

I'm guessing a sax reed and a guitar string bend or flex in a similar manner.
