Melted Butter
Similar to a previous song I built, titled Quasar, this tune is a tribute to and inspired by an old song I grew up hearing called Popcorn. I think the Hot Butter version from 1972 is the one I’m most familiar with, though I definitely recall hearing the original recording from 1969 as well. This tune features a sample of my husband making a popping sound with his mouth. Anybody can be a musician! 😉
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.

I Can’t Get You Outta My Head
I was digging through some old optical media when I stumbled across this gem that I had originally recorded way back in 2004. Over 20 years buried away… well, no longer. The folder I found didn’t have the separate stems for the instrumental, but it did contain the separate vocal tracks. So I’ve rebuilt the instrumental using my current tools and slipped the original vocals back in place. This marks the first TranSan song in the library with vocals! Hope you enjoy!
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.
Mighty Mighty 6
This song is primarily built upon one of the accompaniment generators on the Yamaha MM6, which includes the drums, bass and some of the chords. Additional instruments sandwiched in include the Korg MS-10, Analog Lab V and a few from MuLab.
