of the program.
Grammy-award winning producer and half of the

with big brass and beats, crystal clear vocals.” King Britt has prepared
a Moogfest exclusive part-live/part-DJ set fusing his mastery in track
selection with live hardware electronics, while NYC-based producer
Baltra will perform a DJ set showcasing his expertise of gritty
underground techno productions.

Berlin, April 4, 2017 – Native Instruments today released a new short
film, following a day in the life of Emmy-winning composer and producer
Deru, a.k.a. Benjamin Wynn. The three-minute video explores Wynn’s
strategies for overcoming creative difficulties, and provides an insight
into some of his favorite production techniques.
“Creativity is exploring something deep down inside of you – it’s really
trying to go deep and figure out what’s in there,” says Wynn. “There
are times when you’re down in the studio and you don’t want to work at
all, the ideas aren’t coming, and you’re frustrated. You just have to
work through all that, because that’s going to be there.”
Part of the video focuses on Deru’s use of FORM, the transformative,
sample-tracking synthesizer from Native Instruments. To celebrate the
synth’s recent 1.1 update, Deru has teamed up with NI to host a track
challenge. Users can download samples created by Deru, then use FORM (a
free demo is available) to transform them into a track. Winners, chosen
by Deru and NI, will receive prizes including KOMPLETE 11 ULTIMATE, an
S-Series keyboard, and special Deru giveaways. Visit the competition’s
page https://www.native-instruments.com/deruxform for more information.
Deru recently contributed a work-in-progress to season one of Komplete
Sketches – a series of 24 works-in-progress created by 24 contemporary
electronic producers using only the instruments and effects of KOMPLETE
11. For the track, Deru used FORM to twist acoustic sounds from his
personal library into an evolving drone, layered with meandering
melodies and a weighty bassline. The track, along with the other
artists’ contributions is available here. To see Deru perform the track
live, and explain how it was created, see this video from Native
Sessions: Creative Interfaces.
