- Matt Traum improvisation on Pat Metheny's classic "James" with Eventide Eclipse and custom Steinerphone.
I am playing the Steinerphone EWI on this. I thought I would play a little improvised version of Metheny's "James" harmonized ala Michael Brecker. This is a one-pass recording with no overdubs. The harmonizer is an Eventide Eclipse with a custom patch designed by myself being controlled in real time via foot switches.
I am playing what I call a "Hyper-EVI Steinerphone". It's the exact same model Steinerphone EWI Michael Brecker played for many years in the mid to late 1980s with Steps Ahead and on various studio sessions. This model was the first EWI that Brecker played and he took the instrument to amazing heights. This horn was hand made by the great wind controller inventor Nyle Steiner. It is an EWI (woodwind type controller)- but I have modified it internally so it fingers like an EVI (brass type controller). The horn plays incredibly well- it's the Stradivarius of wind controllers. It is hooked up to a companion synth system also designed by Steiner. In this system are two Crumar EVI synth modules and a Steiner "wood and glue" formant filter unit (which is not used in this video). Only one Crumar module is heard in this video fed into the Eventide Eclipse processor.
A little trivia on this system you see in this video: This is the actual synth unit that Doug Norwine played on the Tonight Show with Johnny Carson with Melissa Manchester when she performed "La Vie En Rose" (you should be able to watch it on youtube).

Just wonderful, really.
Beautifully done! Love the Brecker patches...so fun to work with and so difficult to find a place to play them! Love the "fat sound" your getting!
I wish Steiner still made the analog EWI controller. Smooth
This is really beautiful and well played. Great interpretation. Love the sound of the EWI.
Amazing !!!
That was awesome! I like the harmonies it selects and the tone of the steinerphone is superb. You're an excellent musician too!
MIDI is great and all, but there is something with 100% analog that just sounds so amazing. Wish these were commercially available with CV/Gate.
That's 100% analogue synth through 100% digital FX. 😉
Just beautiful, Matt. What a treat to hear you play some Pat Metheny. I was kind of bugged that you are so good at sax fingering in addition to your trumpet fingering chops and then saw you adapted it. LOL. This is so sensitive and one of my favorite of your performances. Inspiring.
Thankyou for all that Matt. That was wonderful music and great to hear all the background info in such detail.
Best Wishes
Michael
I beg of you, please do more!
Fantastic.
vraiment excellent !!!!!!
That's the Eventide Eclipse. See the description under the video for details.
Wow... I am stunned :) You make the instrument sound fantastic!
1.Could you please tell me how you get it to sound polyfonic?
2.and what the difference between the Steiner Parker Crumar EVI and the one you are playing is?
3.Would it be possible to get such a great sound?
Thank you for the great video/audio!
Beautiful Matt!
wow, that sounds really beautiful. Would you let us know the preset/algo you are using on the eclipse? i'm receiving mine tomorrow! Cheers
Thanks all. Much more to come... Subscribe.
Should have read the description better... The enevtide is doing some harmonizing that you control realtime with footpedals. Or skipping between settings with footswitches..
Have an offer of buying the Crumar EVI for 1200 USD. Could you please tell me what do you think about this offer?
What is or what is the name of the Module sitting on top of the keyboard amp?
