Kangaroo Nebula

a space nebula with kangaroo-shaped anomaly

A pop song with a spacey vibe, built upon some rhythm patterns triggered from an old Korg i3 Workstation (circa 1993) and rendered by Monster Drums.

Tachyon Pulse

rays of light streaking through a space nebula

An up-tempo tune with some initial 90s flare, inspired by a beat from Looperman artist @milostubbsmusic. PREVIEW

Happy Pill

A white pill with wings floating in space

A cheerful, uplifting tune to brighten up your day. Made with Apple Garageband. PREVIEW

Quasar

My heartfelt tribute to one of my very first synth heroes, Vangelis. Based on his synthesizer classic “Pulstar”, released way back in 1976 on the album Albedo 0.39. This is not a cover. PREVIEW

Propellerhead

Drum patterns generated by the Yamaha MM6 and rendered by Monster Drums, instruments from ExactLite, Analog Lab V, MonoFury and MuLab. PREVIEW

Loose the Metaltron

creepy robot on an alien world

Hard rock? Heavy metal? This is very much a keyboard player’s attempt at something resembling either, or both. The result is somewhat PS2-ish. Enjoy! PREVIEW

Roller Coaster Life

Inspired by a loop from Looperman.com, with an arp’d MuLab bass, some Analog Lab V and Surge XT pads and a bunch more MuLab instruments. PREVIEW

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

futuristic city at night

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.
