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.
Propellerhead
Drum patterns generated by the Yamaha MM6 and rendered by Monster Drums, instruments from ExactLite, Analog Lab V, MonoFury and MuLab.
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.
Return to Tomorrow
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.
The Need for Steed
Part of the Instrument Category Series, this tune is composed around the organ category of instruments. Featuring sounds from Analog Lab V, Surge XT, MuLab, Monster Drum and an old breakbeat loop I dug up from a random backup CD.
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.
Joy to the World
My version of the traditional Christmas carol, featuring instruments from Analog Lab V, VK-1 Viking Synthesizer, Full Bucket FB-7999, Spitfire Audio Labs, Love-Fi 3 Lite, Crystal Soft Synth, Sonatina Choir and a smattering of MuLab sounds sandwiched in.
The Twelve Days of Christmas
Here is my #transanitized version of the traditional holiday tune “The Twelve Days of Christmas”, featuring instruments from Syntronik, LABS, Sonatina Choir, FluidR3 Soundfont, u-he TyrellN6 and many from the MuLab DAW.
Christmas ’88
An 80’s-styled original for the holidays, featuring instruments from Drumtastic, Nil’s Kawai K1v, OB-Xd, Analog Lab V, Monster Drum, Mega Soundfont and a smattering of MuLab sounds. Watch this song being made with highlights from the TranSan Labs live stream:
