Inky Fest 26 | Unit: E - Live Hardware Jam | Acid Tech House
Inky Fest 2026 — a live hardware jam in memory of Inky. ❤️
Inky was a hardware jammer and part of a community built around making music live, hands-on and in the moment. She was a friend to many, and an inspiration to all. She left us far too soon, and Inky Fest continues each year as a celebration of her life, her music, and the creativity she inspired.
For my contribution this year, I put together a 14-minute continuous hardware performance built around two connected pieces in G minor and D minor. Everything is performed live, moving from a deeper house groove into a darker, more driving acid and techno section.
No pre-recorded mix. Just hardware, sequences, samples, knobs, mutes, effects, and a little improvisation.
Hardware used:
Roland TR-1000 — drums, sequencing & Reface CP samples
Roland TB-03 — acid bass
Roland S-1 — synth sequences & chord stabs
Roland JD-08 — melodic hooks & atmosphere
Roland SP-404MKII — reverse textures, noise & Rhodes samples
Yamaha Reface CP — electric piano & Rhodes textures
123 BPM | G minor → D minor | 11:30 - minute live jam
This one is for Inky and for everyone keeping the spirit of live hardware jamming alive.
Rest easy, Inky. ❤️
