Orchestral Maneuvers in the Light

Another entry in the Instrument Category Series, this tune was a bit of a challenge when sticking to the strings category. I started off with an interesting pairing of an arpeggiator on the Yamaha MM6 triggering the classic “orchestra hit” voice. A bit unconventional, but it did the job of triggering a creative streak that culminated in this piece. Featuring the heavy metal drum kit from Monster Drum, more strings from the MM6, and a handful of MuLab sounds sandwiched in.
Return to Tomorrow

Another in the Instrument Category Series, this upbeat tune is led by several examples of synthesized guitar, with an assist from some punchy brass synth in the chorus. Almost all of the guitar sounds are courtesy of the Yamaha MM6 synth, with heavy metal drum kit from Monster Drum, some Analog Lab V and some Love-Fi 3 Lite, amidst a handful of MuLab synths sandwiched in.
The Need for Steed

Part of the Instrument Category Series, this tune is composed around the organ category of instruments. Featuring sounds from Analog Lab V, Surge XT, MuLab, Monster Drum and an old breakbeat loop I dug up from a random backup CD.
