Bubble Bubble
Here’s a simple electro-pop tune with lots of percolating arps over a pumping TR-909 rhythm laced with some randomized hi-hats and a sweet loop from Looperman artist “alividlife”.
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.
Christmas in Alaska
Here’s a sleigh bells shakin’ dubstep with a simple melody of piano, chimes and strings. Featuring a wonderful holiday drum loop from Looperman artist alexisescalona and sounds from the Korg i3, Yamaha TX-81Z, Roland KR-500 and Yamaha TG33 synths, along with a smathering of VSTs. This song was created live on-stream at Twitch.tv/TransistorSandwich.
In The Forest of the Night
Here’s another tune to add to your Halloween party playlist. It starts out with an eerie low droning synth that leads into a creepy piano motif. But there’s still room for drums, a throbbing tribal pattern by Looperman artist Anubis.
The Jewel in the Eye of the Robot
This tune is built upon a looped sample of my bff Julie, from a band rehearsal in which she was playing the drums for “Honkey Tonk Woman”. This song is nothing like that song, but the drums sound very much like Julie. 🙂
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.
Pulsatronic Maize
A steady-thumpin’, popcorn-popppin’ piece featuring a delightful free VST virtual analog synth called SuperTron (from Solcitomusica), framed by a cool breakbeat from Looperman.com user “2nick8”.
Caught in the Filter
In a continuation of getting to know the MuLab software better, I decided to try some track automation for frequency filters. A few arps and a PortaTone dance rhythm later, and we have this upbeat tune!
