Transistor Sandwich

A Windy Day in Whisperville

Trees bending in a strong wind on an alien planet

Made with a collection of MuLab sounds, some controlled by BlueArp VST, as well as sounds from BBC Symphony Orchestra (Spitfire Audio), Fluid Soundfont, OB-Xd VST and MonsterDrums.

The Freakin’ Pen is Blue!

Started out with a custom auto-accompaniment built from several layered arps. Instruments from MuLab, SynthMaster Player, Syntronik, Monster Drums, PG-8X and an old Casio CTK-650.

Brandon’s Lunar Odyssey

Astronaut walking on the moon with large earthrise in background

Made with a Chrystal Pad synth in Kontakt, Hydro Lead Light in Syntronik, Distant Majestic Lead in Vital, SEQ Elements in Synthmaster Player, Swept Away in Crystal Soft Synth, and horns in BBC Symphony Orchestra, all pulled along a throbbing rhythm generated by the Tattoo Percussion Synthesizer. Other assorted instruments from MuLab DAW and strings from a Yamaha P115 digital piano.

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.

Teenage Dreamscape

This poppity throwback was built using mostly sounds from Arturia’s Analog Lab V (VST), with a few helpers thrown in from MuLab’s built-in synths.

Snappy the Turtle

A turtle flying through space orbiting a planet

Made with IK Multimedia Syntronic, Audio Damage Tattoo Percussion Synthesizer, KV331 Audio Synthmaster Player, a smattering of samples and assundry MuLab presets.

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.

Cybertronic Starlust

A hard-pumping pop track built from auto-accompaniment sequences from a vintage Korg i3 Workstation sandwiched into a collection of modern VSTs.
