A Song of Earth and Wind
Here’s a sprightly tune built around a melodic bass line featuring the u-he TyrellN6 VST plugin preset “Oddy Wow”. With a few other virtual instruments and drum loop sandwiched in, as always.
Christmas Cookies
Here’s a Christmassy tune perfect for your holiday video projects. A moderate tempo modern rhythm under sparkling bell synths and sleigh bells, occasionally sprinkled with twinkling piano and steam pops.
Mortal Contact
Here’s a tune that starts off with a driving synth loop from Looperman artist Twistedloop, followed closely by a pumpin’ beat by Fanto8BC. Throw in some arps, booms and crashes, and you have a 90s-flavoured song well suited to action video games.
Isle of An Caillte
A cinematic piece that starts out with a low, droning synth before a tribal rhythm sets the pace. This one came out sounding like a title sequence for a modern action-adventure game.
Colonel Pop
This is a fairly laid-back tune with a pumpin’ bassline under piano layered with synth pads, wrapped in a percolating electronic marimba that elicits visions of a popcorn maker. Built upon a solid foundation drum loop by Looperman artist “abelouis”.
Auld Lang Syne 2019
Time for a new transanitized version of the holiday favourite. This new version features some pumping loops from Looperman artist “Fanto8BC”, with some Roland KR-500 and Korg i3 sandwiched in.
Send the Transmission
Here’s an upbeat, bass-boomin’ drum-thumpin’ dancy tune that includes some very cool loops from Looperman artists Rasputin and LouiveMane.
Bwolaloolaloo
Here’s an uptempo track featuring a solid, pumpin’ drum loop by Looperman contributor “axeleon”, later perked up with some effected hi-hats courtesy of Looperman contributor “Krolbeats”. All wrapped in a percolating arp punctuated by a long-tail reverb’d pop sound.
Duophonic Membrane
In this up-tempo ditty, I managed to sandwich in several sounds from an old Yamaha PortaSound PSS-130 keyboard. This compact little music maker has a unique sound, all generated by a square wave generator. Don’t forget, you can download all of these songs for free at TransistorSandwich.com.
