Discobobulate
Made with Love-Fi 3 Lite, LANDR Chromatic, SINE Player, Monster Drums, OB-Xd and a smattering of MuLab instruments.
The Lost Prince
Made with layers of hardware synths including Yamaha YPT-320, Yamama MM6, Yamaha TG-33 and Roland D-5, as well as the VSTs Monster Drums, Vital and Synthmaster Player, along with a smattering of MuTools synths.
Dah’ren Sunrise
Another experiment in slaving a collection of VST instruments to a malfunctioning Korg i3 Workstation (1993). This time, I capture a pop rock style preset. This old i3 doesn’t produce sound anymore, so by capturing the multiple MIDI channels of a preset style pattern, I’m able to breath new life into it by assigning those channels to a sandwich of VSTs.
Flight of the Blue Dove
Jamming on some synths while accompanied by an AI-generated backing track.
Christmas in Rockland
A laid-back but power rhythm leads a Vangelis-esque pulsing bass drone, accompanied by a choir synthetic and sampled voices from around the world. Add a little bit of regal horn and sparkling hand bells, and you’ve set the scene for Christmas in Rockland.
Alternative Epilogue
A happy little tune composed on a thrift store rescue, the Yamaha PSR-12 (with some modern strings at the end).
O Christmas Tree
Apple released a new drummers pack for the iOS version of Garageband, so I decided to give one a try with a Christmas classic.
Tinsel Time
Here’s a little something for the holidays, a relaxed winter holidays-styled tune of orchestral instruments atop a percolating percussion loop with hints of the traditional “Jingle Bells” melody.
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.
Pan’s Cold Steel
An interesting drum loop laced with drippy-jingly foley followed by a spastic steel drum loop makes for a unique tune.
