Having some fun getting back to grips with Fruityloops 20 and Nexus 2 and some of the sample packs.
You know you play too much "The Division 2" and watch too much bladerunner, when you start writing this kind of song.
A Work In Progress
Wrote this one about our messed up society and self-serving politicians.
Set against the backdrop of the UK's Brexit vote and Trump somehow making it into the Whitehouse with all the nonsense that entails!
A new track I've been working on for the past 5 hours. A nice uplifting number with some nice hooks in it.
Part of my further investigation of C64/SID chip music creation.
Track written for and used in the demo "New Blood" by Hitmen (http://csdb.dk/release/?id=152332).
Putting the, recently purchased, SidTracker64 to use on my iPad.
This is the untouched (no effects/EQ) C64 output track. Will be adding some additional non-C64 instrument and performing some mastering tweaks for the song.
What do you think?
A nice drum'n'bass/jungle number for the sixth day. I'm pretty sure this one is going to made into a full track too.
Another entry in the House music style. This one came to me very quickly, and like yesterdays entry, will more than likely be developed into a full track.
A nice bit of House/Dance.
This one is DEFINITELY being turned into a complete track! Very happy with how this one is sounding.
Better late than never! Fell asleep on the sofa last night and woke up at 2AM, so didn't get round to uploading it.
Went for a nice mellow piece. This was about my third attempt at something for today, wasn't feeling it for a long time. Definitely needs a lot more work, but a good start.
This song was composed entirely on an iPhone, whilst out and about. Wanted to see what was capable with, then newly released, NanoStudio.
At the time it was only a 4-track sequencer, so I had to downmix a number of sections to simulate additional channels. (Fortunately, they later allowed for an upgrade to 16-channels).
Still amazes me what you can achieve working within the limited constraints of:
- 3-channels (notes at once).
- Global volume level only.
