The HISTORY
Karl “Jeremy Uno” Treier’s first exposure to electronic music that he remembers was listening to Jean Michel Jarre’s Oxygene on Top of the Pops in 1977. Then as a teenager in the late 70’s and early 80’s he became an avid fan of the burgeoning English electronic pop scene, buying vinyl from bands such as Tubeway Army, Gary Numan, OMD, Ultravox, John Foxx, Sparks, Kraftwerk, and Depeche Mode to name just a few.
His first exposure to a music keyboard was around the same time when his parents bought him a rather quirky device, a combination of an electronic organ, cassette tape, radio, microphone, and drum machine. Struggling to learn how to play it, a few years later he sought out lessons at the local Organ and Piano shop, and it was there he saw his first real synthesizer, an ARP Odyssey Mk I. Convincing the owner to sell it to him for a mere £250. About a week’s pay from my Sale Clerk job if I remember correctly.
Fast forward a mere forty or so years and you arrive here, now. Jeremy’s passion for synthesizers has blossomed into a full-on obsession, and that obsession has grown into the desire to operate the ultimate electronic music project studio. Jeremy is focused less on publishing his own music now and more on the goal of mastering electronic music recording, production and engineering techniques, and synthesizer programming.
Oh, and yes the studio includes a Behringer clone of the famous ARP 2600, the predecessor to the Odyssey, and despite the sea of surrounding options it’s still one of his favorite synthesizers.
THE STUDIO
STUDIO '33
AN ELECTRONIC MUSIC CREATION PLAYGROUND
Beginning in 2021, after the sad passing of his mother, Jeremy began to create his vision for what an electronic music project studio should be. Prior to that point he had worked only in the box with a handful of plugins, a Proteus VX card and Cubase 5. Using the legacy left to him he turned an 11' by 11' office space into version of 1 of the dream. In 2022 that dream would grow with the move into a larger space measuring 16’ by 20’. It’s this space that you see pictured below.
The added space allowed the studio to expand to include a vocal space, guitar performance space, electronic drum kit, and additional keyboard stands that added a fourth and wider tiers. The space was also treated with Output Defi Acoustic panels that both perform and look great. Finally, with his wife’s help the space is decorated with a variety of modern art pieces that appeal to Jeremy’s aesthetic.
