Absolutely beautiful and inspiring! Thank you for posting!

It really underscores the simple essence and joy of creating patterns on the A4!

nice job!

Your son is incredible! Fantastic work, and I just love the sound of swedish in a kid’s voice, maybe it brings back memories from my childhood watching Pippi and Emil fra Lönneberget Cheers!

Just awesome … wish I’d had the opportunity to learn at that age

dimi3 · 2014-02-03T19:21:16.000Z

That is great! The future is safe!

ThomasJ · 2014-02-03T19:51:25.000Z

Thanks for the kind words! I’ve told him about the reactions and he’s really happy about it

Your little man is absolutely fantastic!
Poor old Hector must know now that his time is well and truly up!

I’m not typically a fan of children in general, but this is truly amazing. Very inspirational and a testament to what can be accomplished with these machines, even without a proper manual or pro-tutorial videos.

Seriously. Awesome. What’s his soundcloud link?

Yes, it’s an interesting combination of simplicity and extreme power at the same time!

Seriously. Awesome. What’s his soundcloud link?

No own account yet, but maybe it’s time to get one He and his sister programmed&sang this track during Christmas (A4 and MD): Stream Jansson Kids - Mer Jul [Adolphson & Falk cover] by tubesockor | Listen online for free on SoundCloud
…and maybe it’s time for me to actually post something I’ve done myself

KrisM · 2014-02-04T07:21:16.000Z

Really nice hehe.

Min svenska är inte så bra

But it was cool to see anyway. Kids these days

Just listened to the soundcloud… wow. Nicely done kids!

TrabanT · 2014-02-04T08:01:21.000Z

you must be the bestest dad in the world ?!?

giving your child this kind of inspiration and let it mess around on that expensive machine is just woooooow

words cant express … it’s like the opposite of giving your child the remote control to make it go quiet …

if you have some room in the house please adopt me

I often can’t comprehend why some people find elektrons difficult. At least now I can say that even a 7 year old has no problems with it

“You just got ‘pwnt in your face’ by a 7yo little boy and 10yo little girl. Quit crying and go make music!”

Yo.

My Elektron-playing son (that recorded a song during Christmas in this old thread http://www.elektronauts.com/t/kids-using-a4-md-to-program-record-christmas-classic/2664) now has created a little tutorial on the Analog Four, from his point of view - including how to make a version of the Depeche Mode classic “Photographic”

Here it is:

Will show this for my kids!

It´s great to hear the thoughts of your son, and how he sees the unit in his view. Does he learn playing any instrument? He sees to have a good ear for hearing when the arrangement isn´t correct.

Daisuk · 2014-02-04T11:23:21.000Z

Your kids are talented, man! I loved that christmas tune they covered as well - you’ve got every reason to be proud! Hopefully (most probably) they’ll stay interested in making and enjoying music.

So true. Just follow the kid’s instructions. “Hit the red button here and you can push these buttons to make a rhythm […] Use these buttons to change the sounds.”
That’s it, really!
