Somewhere during the 90's Martijn Grit discovered computers....
Combined with his passion for classic science fiction, the result had to be synth.
After working mostly for other people as producer and technician (a.o.
Harm Wierda ,
Klaske Oenema ), Grit decided that time had come for him to retreat to his own studio and start working on his own passion; science fiction music, also known as SciFi.
Martijn Grit works with a combination of old (almoast scrappy) instuments such as a Philips organ, Elka 490, a nameless guitar (really, i don't know the type), a home made balalaika and other equipment that any 'self respecting' musician would be ashamed of, combined with a computer studio environment.(Update, I bought meself a Gretsch Syncromatic, type Bo Diddley, it's red and square)
"It is amazing how you can make a computer sound like it's analogue"
(M. Grit-2006) ;-)
It is this interesting combination of lofi and hifi that gives his SciFi an extraordinary sound, it has that warm touch of old analogue, be it created in a hitech environment.
This music is NOT inspired by Hollywood films, it IS inspired by the real classic sci-fi, like Solaris (not the american remake) and 'the past through tomorrow'.
Enjoy.
