A Song of Earth and Wind
Here’s a sprightly tune built around a melodic bass line featuring the u-he TyrellN6 VST plugin preset “Oddy Wow”. With a few other virtual instruments and drum loop sandwiched in, as always.
Bug-in-a-Box
Here’s a happy little tune put together whilst playing with the iOS Moog app Model D, based on the infamous Minimoog synthesizer from the 70s. PopUpliftingHappyDance Pop
Victoria’s Bouncy Dance
Here’s a holiday weekend creation using a few different arpeggiators together to build the accompaniment to a melody you can whistle along to.
Strolling in the Glades
Here’s a happy little pop tune that grew from a persistent melody I had running through my head one day. When I transcribed that melody, it found its muse in a whistle, and everything else just fell into place from there.
Cybell the Seer
Inspired by a somewhat eerie bell loop from Looperman artist Ov3rdos3, this upbeat tune morphs into a more cheerful energy before giving way to the chilliness again.
DK BLT
Another in the Soundfonts Series, this one paying homage to that video game classic, Donkey Kong Country.
Whiplash 16
Continuing on with the Exploring Soundfonts series, here is a tribute to the Nintendo 64 game console, featuring a the Glove 64 soundfont by fluidvolt.
Adventures on Snes Island
Built entirely from a Soundfont by Fluidvolt called “Yoshi’s Island Soundfont”, a collection of mapped samples taken directly from the Super Nintendo Entertainment System. The tune has a “sea shanty” flair to it, with a definite vintage video game feel.
The Adventures of Skywolf
Built upon a super cool acid bass synth arp from Looperman artist Konigsberg, this upbeat techno piece drips with tones of action and sci-fi technology.
Mortal Contact
Here’s a tune that starts off with a driving synth loop from Looperman artist Twistedloop, followed closely by a pumpin’ beat by Fanto8BC. Throw in some arps, booms and crashes, and you have a 90s-flavoured song well suited to action video games.
