The dynamics you can create are breathtaking. Imagine this scenario: Far from using it in a club with massive, pounding beats, Suzy and I are using it in a venue where we play acoustic music and you can hear a pin drop. We love the live performance elements of the Tempest which give you real expression. What does it give you that other instruments don’t? We have a very well-equipped analog studio where Suzy and I record all our material with a very large CADAC analog console and ATC SMC25A monitors which reveal the smallest detail.

It’s difficult to pick out one, but if we have to, it’s all about the sound variety and quality plus the ability to tailor them exactly to your needs. What’s one of your favorite things about it? Live performance is our passion and we will be taking the tempest to all our shows. Along with a plethora of fine acoustic instruments, it incorporates ambient, and not so ambient, electronic elements which contemporise the material. One of them is an “acoustic” contemporary folk record that we will be releasing in 2020. Suzy and I are principally songwriters and have a number of simultaneous projects on the go.
Simon had used a lot of Sequential and Roger Linn drum instruments in the past and he has a great amount of respect for Roger and Dave. It was also very important that it could be used in a live performance environment. Not only did it have the finest sounds available but they can be edited to a very fine level of detail. We were looking for the finest drum machine on the market and the Tempest was really the only choice. We chatted with Simon and Suzy on how they’ve been using the Tempest: Simon released a contemporary folk/Americana album, The Knife in 2014 which was produced by Andy Seward and featured several highly-regarded musicians including Andy Cutting, Malcolm Stitt, David Kilgallon, and BJ Cole.

Suzy has a folk background ( see for full details) and was featured in Bass Guitar Magazine in 2018. It features the Sequential Tempest interwoven with traditional acoustic instrumentation. They are currently deep in sessions for “The Coat,” a new acoustic album which will be released in summer 2021. Suzy Starlite and Simon Campbell are a powerhouse songwriting and musical partnership specializing in contemporary folk and Americana.
