Some synthesizers seen to be raised to a mythical status. That’s definitely the case for the Oberheim OB-X. The way people talk about this legend made me wonder if all the hype was true, and I have to say, I was surprised by what I discovered! You be the judge though… Was the OB-X over hyped, or do you feel it was really THAT amazing? BONUS QUESTION: Was the OB-X’s successor, the OB-Xa, enough of an upgrade to render the original completely obsolete?

Instead of going over the technical details of mixing, I wanted to zoom out a bit, and challenge you to wrap your mind around the purpose of WHY you should approach mixing as an art form all of its own. ENJOY!

Do you know what I mean when I say “that 80’s sound”? There’s an over arching sound that contributes to the way we feel and remember that quintessential 80’s feeling in the music.
If you’re not a fan of 80’s music, then listeners and watchers beware… we’re going pretty deep into the tech that contributed to creating this decade's iconic sounds!

Let’s get philosophical. What is “art”, and are we killing the artistic spirit within the medium of music? I’m hoping to really get a conversation going, and explore how we define art, and challenge ourselves to do better in our creative aspirations.

I'm assuming that you probably use either Spotify, Amazon Music, Apple Music or at the very least YouTube to listen to music.
But how do you feel about it, really?
Do you miss physical media?
I'm just wondering if I'm not alone here, because I'm finding it difficult to enjoy music the way I once did.
Either way, I want to start a conversation with you about it.

As a Christmas present, I got Playtronica's MIDI controller, Playtron from my brother-in-law. I’ve been excited to open it up and test it out with you! This strange MIDI device has a bit of a learning curve, but also prompts some unexpected, but fun reactions.

As some of you know, Dark Side of the Moon isn’t necessarily my all-time favorite Pink Floyd album (points to you if you remember which one is ;) However, I really do love the original, and wanted to invite two of the biggest Dark Side fans I know to join me in listening to Roger Waters new take on it, The Dark Side of the Moon Redux. As the lesser authority on the original album, I was thrilled to spend time taking it in with two more seasoned DSOTM fans, my husband, Will, and my father in law, Bill.

This is your invitation to make a music resolution with me! It's nothing too long or as arduous as promising to give up on coffee (or some nonsense like that)! Nope! This resolution is to challenge your song writing muscles. Should you accept this challenge, I'm asking you to write a song a day from January 1st, through January 14th.
The goal is to start off 2024 with the intention for it to be a creative one!

“Carol of the Bells”: Will it synth??
To me this is a silly question because, technically speaking, any song can be rearranged for synths; so this is not a question of can it, but in YOUR opinion, should it???? Yes, I’m leaving the decision in your capable, albeit sometimes, highly opinionated perspectives. This is going to be a share your thoughts with the entire class situation here! Let’s try and all be respectful, and let those opinions fly!

Did you ever think of crossing synthesizers with Charles Dickens' A Christmas Carol? Well, are you in for a ride! Not only did I do weird things with this 1951 version of this Christmas classic, but I also discovered something surprising with the original score that lent to the creative process!

As synth musicians we need to talk about what happens when we get too wrapped up in the work of creating a synth sound, but forget to play with it in meaningful ways. This video illustrates the problem that we may not realize we struggle with, and offers a few tips to prevent this from happening.

In this video I share my three key secrets for helping musicians improve and excel in their musical endeavors.
Musicians, you can get your copy of my eBook, Holistic Music Development here: https://artisanal-painter-8287.ck.page/products/holistic-music-development-e-book?promo=BFLAUNCH
Get your copy of my eBook, Holistic Music Development, at my special Black Friday Launch price of $21.00, and...
Stop spinning your wheels, not knowing why you're struggling with your instrument by learning how to apply music psychology to your practice sessions.
Increase your confidence and ability using easy music theory to unlock your amazing potential, and see how music theory is an intrinsic part of you (and not that overwhelming!)
Learn effective techniques to help you discover who your most authentic musical self is, gain awareness of your musicality, and hone it to carve out a path in your music career!
I woke up today, and felt the need to synth freestyle with my Moog DFAM and some growl-y Mini V3. Honestly, this is coming from a need to create, and I've been slacking on the creativity front lately. I could blame my crazy schedule, constantly being in a position to teach (not play), or any other excuse for that matter, but I need to just do it, and not over analyze here, so I am! I hope you enjoy this, and I hope it inspires you to get up and create yourself!

Musicians, I think we’ve all been here, and maybe felt sheepish about asking for something in order to perform well. The fact is that you need it, and should be confident to verbalize your needs. It doesn’t reflect badly on you as a musician, and it shouldn’t alter other musician’s perspective of how valuable what you bring to the table is. So I just want to drop this bit of encouragement, and let you know you’re not alone if you’ve ever felt obligated to basically play with one hand tied behind your back.

What is the difference between East Coast vs West Coast synthesis??? I’ll be honest, I wasn’t even aware of the dividing schools of thought between the two. But what I discovered was really cool, and I also had a lot of fun learning about these two origins that inspired so many streams of ingenuitive creativity and synth pioneering.

Musicians, rhythm and tempo are two very different things!
If you think you might feel a little foggy on this topic, then I made this video specifically for you! My goal for this short lesson is to create crystal clarity and confidence for you, and it’s a great step to put control in your fingertips (where it should be!)

Musicians, is it really possible to play any piece of music if you play it slow enough? I’d wager it is!
In this video I go into a bit of detail as to why I believe that, how it works and what part of your brain could be sabotaging you from using this technique to succeed!

My goal is to get you to a point where you understand music theory to a point were it’s intrinsically a part of you. How do you do that? By assigning a feeling/thought/or sense to the academic knowledge of theory.
I believe in your ability to get this! It's already a part of you… you just need to label what it is, so you can recognize it.

Giving yourself permission to sound bad feels wrong and counterintuitive, I know! As a musicians, we all want to sound, not just “good”, but so amazing that we transcend the activity of simply “playing music”, to being awe inspiring in a way that hasn’t even existed before you picked up your instrument/sang. I 100% understand! BUT you can’t even possibly begin to get there until you’ve done this thing I tell you about in this video, and I’ll explain why!

Do you have any insight as to why Roland's Jupiter-8 was so popular? I did not, but after doing some research, I feel like I wanna get my hands on one, and experience what all the hype was/is.

In this video he shares his story of where he started musically, some incredible experiences along the way, a valuable wealth of knowledge, and the path that led to his discovery of FM Synthesis.
I was truly honored to have the opportunity to talk with him, and look forward to hearing all the valuable conversations this interview sparks!

Musicians, have you ever felt the pressure of perfectionism? If so, you are NOT alone! In this first episode of my new series, Mindset for Musicians, I want to begin to talk about how a perfectionist persona may be actually harming your musical growth, what you should focus on instead, and an awe inspiring famous pianist that defied America’s expectation of focusing on being “perfect”.

Mindset for Musicians is one of TWO new playlists I'm launching (second one will be announced next week!)
In this episode, I'll be giving you a little bit of an idea what topics I'll be delving into!
These videos will be dedicated to addressing and working on various mindsets that make or break musicians.
Over the past 15+ years of teaching, I've been observing my students, collecting information and taking SoOOooo many notes on what works and what causes musicians to want to give up.
All this information I want to share with you in small pieces each week!
I hope you get something valuable out of our journey together!

Okay, so what is this rare record I'm unboxing?? If you remember, I did a recent video on the little known genre of modular Bossa Nova (if you haven’t seen it yet, you can see it here: https://youtu.be/xUA3qqNMPtQ ). In that video I talked about the earliest mention of the combination of the two that I could find- Carlos Ayala’s album “Bossa Nova Organ Synth Moog Sonoramico Latin Lounge ” or “Organo en Bossa Nova”. The ONLY way, that I could find where I could listen to this album was to just buy the ONE record for sale on eBay! So I bought it! It came all the way from Ciudad de Mexico! So In this video I'm going to open it up, and share a little sampling of what it sounds like!! I'm so excited because I have NO IDEA what kind of experience this is going to be, but I wanted you to be here for a shared mutual discovery!

In this video we dive into exploring the basics of this monophonic monster, the MiniMoog. This legendary synthesizer revolutionized synth music, so I feel that it’s time to highlight it’s awesomeness. We’ll be going over a bit of its history, as well as some of its powerful sound capabilities. The MiniMoog remains a synth that has transfixed the attention of some incredibly experimental musicians (including Herbie Hancock, Pink Floyd and even Dr Dre!). Join me on this sonic journey through the captivating world of the MiniMoog!

Did I discover a little-known, but (in my opinion) amazing genre?? I believe I have! In today’s video I want to share with you what I think is an exciting fusion of two unlikely niche genres: Modular Bossa Nova! The combination of Modular Synthesis and Bossa Nova create an entirely new sonic experience. The beauty of these wildly contrasting genres intertwined create something fresh and new.
Whether you are a bossa nova enthusiast, a modular synth lover, or simply an avid seeker of musical discoveries, prepare to be transported to a world where traditional Brazilian rhythms meet the boundless territory of synthesized landscapes!

What do I mean "Queen did not like synths"?? This is a little known fact that was true for a period of time for the band, Queen. But why??? And how did I come to find out about this grudge against synthesized sounds, you might wonder? I learned of it when filming one of my very first YouTube videos. Going back to the earlier pandemic days, when we were all starving for at-home experiences, I bought a record player, and decided that if I couldn't go out to concerts, listening to full albums (in their high fidelity form) would be the closest I was going to get! So I found this little, "jab" (you might call it) towards synths in the record's liner notes of the album, A Night at Opera. It said blunty "No Synthesizers!". If you're familiar with Queen, you might be surprised to learn that, considering how experimental they were with their music... And I'll bet you're thinking "I'm sure I've heard synthesizers in their music at one time or another"... You'll just have to watch this video to get the full story!

Today we’re wrapping up this three-part series where we've explored how some of the greatest composers in history might have responded to the use of synthesizers in their compositions. In the final installment, we turn our attention to Ludwig van Beethoven, one of the most celebrated and innovative composers of all time.
Throughout his career, Beethoven was known for pushing the boundaries of classical music, experimenting with new forms and techniques to create some of the most iconic works in the Western canon. But what would he have made of the synthesizer, a technology that wouldn't exist until long after his death?
In this video, I dive into Beethoven's life and music, explore his attitude and style and examine how he might have responded to the unique sounds and capabilities of the synthesizer.
I also look at a modern interpretation of one of his most famous pieces (using a synthesizer of course!)
So join me for this fascinating exploration of Beethoven and the synthesizer, as we imagine what one of the greatest composers in history might have created if he had access to this powerful tool.

In today’s episode we’re continuing to explore the question of which classical composer might have loved synthesizers the more.
Have you ever wondered what Mozart would have thought about modern music technology, such as synthesizers and electronic music production? In this video, I dabble a bit with this crazy question and explore the possibilities of how one of the most influential, popular and prolific composers of the classical period might have felt about the use of synthesizers in today's music industry.
So, whether you're a fan of classical music or electronic music, this video is meant to spark some thought-provoking exploration of the intersection between music history and modern technology. Join me on this journey and discover what Mozart might have thought about synthesizers!

Classical music of the 1700’s and 1800’s has a fixed place in history, but what if composers such as Bach, Mozart and Beethoven had synthesizers??
This crazy question was a passing musing in a recent conversation I had, but I immediately knew I had to not only explore this question, but also pose it to you all… who would have loved synthesizers???? OR which of the old composers would have rejected it??? So I did a little digging into their personalities and composition styles to get an idea.

For today’s video I felt that it wasn’t time to leave the topic of abstract adjectives in music just yet. So for part 2 of this series, I decided we need to dive even deeper into the world of music descriptors. With one change however. This time I wanted to focus more on sounds created by guitar pedals to illustrate the use of abstract adjectives in music (they can get really out there, in case you didn’t know!)
Whether you're a musician looking to expand your vocabulary and understanding of sound, or simply a sound lover interested in exploring the nuances of your favorite songs, the goal here is to demonstrate how abstract adjectives help us understand and appreciate music on a much deeper level.

Whether you’ve ever noticed it or not, adjectives to describe music are quite abstract! Why so abstract? Well the reason may be something you’ve never thought of before! Adjectives to describe sound (and therefore music) are very limited, and borrow from other senses, and as a result get pretty abstract! How abstract? Well, watch the video to find out! Maybe you’ll hear music in a different way, and begin using your own adjectives to give color and abstract characteristics to this one of our 5 senses!

You may already know that I love synth music, but in today’s episode, I wanted to share my worship music exploration style (what you may or may not know is also a deep love of mine). Now for those of you who may not be interested in this genre, don’t worry, this is just a small glimpse into my methodology of how I create synth sounds while participating in worship music exploration. For those of you who love The Word and worship music, I want to invite you in to my new Live Twitch Stream that be happening every Saturday at 11:00am EST. I will primarily be leading you in an hour long worship session. To hop into my Twitch Stream, follow this link: SoundPaintSE on Twitch on Saturday Mornings at 11:00am EST!
To all of you, I just wanted to tell you what an amazing, uniquely created person you are! No one has existed, or ever will exist again that’s like you. I want to encourage you, no matter what your creative outlet is, express that uniqueness that is you! You don’t need to emulate anyone else… just be you.
It's an unlikely pairing, these two instruments, but I have always loved juxtaposition! In today's episode, I wanted to introduce my electric upright bass to my analog Moog DFAM! I'm curious to see what happens, and how well they hit it off... Maybe they'll make beautiful music together. ;p

Today I wanted to share a little bit about my story of how I was steered in the direction of playing the bass (which I now refer to as my soul mate instrument), and the impact it's had on me. I believe everyone has a developing creative story about how they came to discover something they love in life... I'd love to hear how you found one of yours! If you're willing to, I'd love to read about it in the comments section of this episode (on the platform you watch/listen to it!)
Looking forward to learning more about you!

So a while back I purchased this Arturia pluggin, and shamefully didn't do much with it. Today's the day I right that wrong, and share these sweet bass tones with you! It's short and sweet, but a bunch of good tones nonetheless!

Happy Saturday, Sound Lovers!
Have you ever found something in the wild (aka a retail store ;p ) that you knew that if you were to obtain it, it would become something you loved and used often? Well, that's what's happened with my DFAM... I hope you're not already getting tired of my fixation with my new toy, because I'll be making a few more videos like these in the future (among many other non-DFAM related ones as well, I promise ;p ).
So for today, please enjoy the sweet sweet tones of my DFAM, with that added improv compositions I came up with and layered over it. For an extra fun bonus to this video, please leave feedback and vote for which added synth sound you preferred, Reality Open or Oxegen? For the one that gets the most votes, I'll compose a longer version of the composition, and send it to you!
So please vote by writing either "Reality Open" or "Oxegen" in the comments section of this video/episode on your preferred platform that you listened/watched this episode.

Happy New Year, and Happy Saturday, Sound Lovers!
Today is our first time together in 2023, so I wanted to do something new with you!
I wanted to share with you my excitement for one of the new toys I was able to purchase for my birthday/Christmas this year! Thanks to some generous gift certificates to Sweetwater.com, I was able to afford this majestic piece of equipment, a Moog DFAM!!!! (Thank you again to those AMAZING people who helped make this possible
Happy Saturday & Happy New Year, Sound Lovers!
As I reflect on this past year and look forward to the coming 2023, I feel inspired to challenge myself in ways that will bring about new creative endeavors, and I wanted to offer for you to join me in some way.
This episode is a short one, but I just wanted to share my heart with you, and wish you and your loved ones a very Happy New Year!

Tomorrow is Christmas... it's PRACTICALLY HERE (in the Grinch voice). But I'm not here to talk about The Grinch (though that one is also near and dear to my heart). No, I'm talking today about another Christmas classic, Charlie Brown Christmas... Or rather a song featured in it, that is an all time favorite Christmas tune for me! In this episode I break down a bit of the theory and a lot of the feels you get from the jazzy sweetness that make up this amazing song.
I hope you enjoy this special Christmas edition, and I wish you and yours a very merry, and happy Christmas season!

We've all heard those upbeat, happy sounding Christmas songs that make you want to either forget all your troubles (though personally I always felt like "Here Come Santa Clause" sounds more like an ominous threat, than a happy song), or put on The Nightmare Before Christmas to get some darker sounding intervals in your brain (that Danny Elfman is amazing though, just saying). It's your prerogative really. I personally prefer some minor Christmas songs, and appreciate the darker themed, old British-y or Latin Gregorian chanting Christmas songs myself. So in this episode I decided to talk about the difference between happy sounding Christmas songs and minor songs a bit, and maybe make you feel differently the next time you hear "Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer".

Happy Saturday, Sound Lovers!
Welcome to December!! It's good to be here in your inboxes! If you haven't heard me say it enough recently, I am grateful for you!
As for today's episode, I lied to you... I had originally told you this nerd-out theme would be exclusive to November... But then I remembered Doctor Who, and HAD to do one more special December edition! So please allow me to show you how cool this opening theme is, and maybe we can be nerds together! ;p
PS. Please excuse the abrupt ending... The MIDI files for this arrangement are massive, and made my little laptop's internal processor very angry... especially while running a screen recorder, so I could show it to you!
Hope you enjoy!

Nerd-Out-November continues as we explore the music of popular fantasy films and shows! Today I'm comparing two of my favorite opening themes from two different (really amazing) shows, West World and Game of Thrones. The reason I'm mashing these two together in one episode is because they were both written by the amazing Ramin Djawadi! If you've never heard of him, I'm excited to introduce his music to you in this episode!
I would love to hear from you! Which theme was your favorite in this episode? West World or GOT? Have you seen either show? Thoughts? Lets be nerdy together! Lol
Just a heads up, we will be on break next week for Thanksgiving festivities. I'll miss our time together, but all will be back to normal the following week!
Happy Thanksgiving to you and your families! I'm truly thankful for you, and all your love and support of this little podcast of mine
We're continuing on with "Nerd-Out-November" (exploring the music of popular fantasy films and shows) by going back to the truly epic, masterfully composed Lord of the Rings soundtrack. Now don't worry, this is a short episode... because to be honest, I could literally stay here all day unpacking all the great themes and musical ideas within this body of work! So I chose two themes, and just dabbled a little bit with them. I felt I needed to revisit the OG in light of the (in my opinion) lackluster Rings of Power opening theme composition. I felt I had to give Howard Shore credit where it's due, and remember what was great!
I would love to hear from you though! What LOTR themes are YOUR favorites?? How do YOU feel about the opening theme to Rings of Power?
And don't worry if you're not a LOTR fan at all... next week we go on to a different tale!

I'm so excited for the journey I'm taking you on this month... So much so that I'm calling it "Nerd-Out-November". What exactly does that mean, you might ask? I'm so glad to tell you! This month I'm going to touch on a few popular fantasy films and shows, and examine the music that evokes SO much feeling and overall adds to the enjoyment of the experience. For today's episode I wanted to talk about the intro music for Amazon's "Rings of Power". As I have not yet finished watching this show, I will only be exploring the opening music, and asking you if it meets the emotional reach the original scores had on millions of LOTR fans (like myself!).
So I would love to hear from you! What did you think of the opening music to Rings of Power??? There's no wrong answer!

By now you may have heard me voice my frustrations with my ongoing CPU issues (central processing unit) with my computer. Today's episode was no exception, HOWEVER, I decided to lean into it with my secret weapon called, LOFI... If you're unfamiliar with this term, you'll have to watch the episode to find out what it is, and how I used it! Life is always going to give us frustrations... it's how you navigate through it that determines your success... THERE! Your motivational start to your day!

Confusing title, I know, but it's relevant to what I touch on. Today's episode still keeps with our self-care session theme for this month, but I'll be honest, it was really me who needed this unwinding... And when I unwind, sometimes we're gonna go in random directions! I felt better after this session though, and I hope you find it just as therapeutic as I did!

Today we're going to keep going with the self-care theme we started last week, so think of this as your time to unwind to the sweet sweet synth tones we come up with. Today on this chilly, fall day I was inspired by a plugin called Tokyo Dreams, so I went with it! You really never know where your creativity will land, when you allow your random whims to go where they want to drift, so that's where we landed!

Today I wanted to do something slightly different... talk about using music as a form of self-care. We can all use some from time to time, and I believe music is an incredibly powerful method for taking time to take care of yourself; but also is a concept no one ever really talks about in this specific way. I want to change that! For the next few episodes I want to do what I always do... explore a specific sound/instrument (today's featured instrument is Arturia's Prophet V3), but with a bit more emphasis on being a time-out, well-being session for YOU. I hope you like them, and get something out of these "Using Music as Self-Care" sessions!

If I haven't mentioned enough in the past, I'm a big Pink Floyd fan! The title of this episode is in reference to a song I've been dabbling with. So I decided to share a window with you into my process a bit... The title is just a working title, and not its real name (it's a reference to a Pink Floyd song that my song's sounds were reminding me of). It's a work in progress, but I hope you enjoy where it's going so far!

Today we are returning back (again) to the Jup-8... Why you might ask? Because we didn't really explore what could be done with the Jup-8. Last week we played with the default settings, but this time I wanted to see what other sounds we could make with it! This isn't the deepest of exploratory excursions, mind you, just a casual look around. So join me in my meanderings, will you?

Today I kept it simple. A while back (in an older episode) I had dabbled a little bit with a sound that I really liked, but didn't go any further with it once I finished with that episode. It's stayed in the back of my mind ever since, so I decided that today I wanted to explore the sound of Arturia's JUP-8 V3 synthesizer with you! So relax, and enjoy the sweet tones of this interesting creature.

Today I decided to get a bit nerdy with you. Among lots of other sci-fi franchises I get into, the British show Doctor Who would have to also be one of them! I'll admit, I'm new to this particular fandom (my husband got me into it several years ago (shoutout to my video editor ;). So when I learned just how modular synthesis was incorporated, I was hooked on the sound/music of these productions! So for today I want to play around a little bit with the tech that created the infamous Dalek sound (I apologize for anyone who's not familiar).

On to our topic for today... Weird things happened this week, my friends! NASA shared with us what a black hole sounds like!! Whaaaaaaat you must be thinking (if you hadn't heard this already)... doesn't sound need air to support sound waves??? Yes it does!!! A+ for you! :p HOWEVER, there is a black hole that was close enough to gasses being emitted from a nearby galaxy, and it was just enough for the sound to be heard!
If you haven't caught on by now, I love science... especially where science and sound connect, so I couldn't resist taking a crack at analyzing and giving my interpretation of what a black hole sounds like, and try to recreate it!
Hope you like what I came up with! Send your comments my way for anything you would've done differently! Let's start a conversation either on YouTube OR join my new Circle.So group: https://soundpaint.circle.so/c/sound-science-space/what-sounds-do-you-think-should-be-used-when-recreating-the-sound-of-a-black-hole

Happy summertime weekend, sound lovers!
It's been a hot and sunny summer, so lets play with the waves... you know I mean sound waves of course! We're going back to the place where we experiment, create stuff and have fun!
In this episode we play with saw-tooth and sine waves, combine them, and sharpen our ears to pick them out individually (while hearing them simultaneously!) Be prepared to sharpen your hearing/discerning skills, and just maybe next time you hear some sweet sweet synth sound in a song, you'll be able to tell what waves were used to create that sound!
I hope you enjoy!
To watch on YouTube, follow this link: https://youtu.be/98oDNwNeezo
And PS. I mention this in the video, but I will be taking this coming week off from my podcast to enjoy the summer a bit. SoundPaint: sonic exploration will return on Saturday, August 27th...
HOWEVER, you can still catch me in podcast form as a guest on Jason Tramm's live podcast, Music Matters! I'm super excited to be a guest on his show, and would love it if you joined us live on Saturday, August 20th at 6:00 pm EST!

I think we've talked enough recently about the details of colors and hertz, so today we're just continuing to put it into practice, and just make music... with an added challenge of an overheating CPU... BUT I still pulled it off (whew)!!
I like what I came up with, but if any of you have any recommendations for instruments/key signatures/notes/colors you'd like to hear me use in the future to write/play with, LET ME KNOW!!
Next week stay tuned for a dive back into sound waves and synthesis!! (I know many of you have been asking me to go back to that jazz... and thank you so much for the feedback!!)

As I promised last week, we're painting with sound today... with a little application of what we've been learning the past couple weeks, and some directional inspiration from the artist, Kandinsky... I may limit my range of note usage, but sometimes simpler is better, when there are fewer notes, the sound needs to be more interesting, and using only a few colors in abstract forms allows the viewer/listener to have more freedom of interpretation.
So with that, I hope you enjoy where we explore today! As always, thanks for taking the time to listen in! We play with sound, we have some fun, and we learn some new stuff!
The goal of this podcast is to just explore sound and have fun while creating... No musical experience is required to enjoy! I also welcome suggested topics for future episodes!

Happy weekend, sound explorers!
I'm SoooOOoooo excited to share this one with you guys... I'll be honest, it was a bit of work to wrap my mind around, but I feel like I got a grasp of it, and was able to explain it in a semi-simplified way! Don't worry, just cool stuff here... I'm not gonna ask you to take your calculators out or anything... I did all that for you!
As I said last week, I have no claim to be an expert in this topic, I just want to go exploring, and take you on this ride with me!

I (finally) found some detailed information on the science/math equation/breakdown of how music and color have a direct correlation. Now don't get TOO excited just yet... I wanted to do this as a two-part thing. In this episode I first want to explain what a frequency (basically) is, so that we have some groundwork to build on next week!

Happy 4th of July Weekend, synth lovers!!! In today's episode I had to take the opportunity to celebrate/commemorate the 40th anniversary of one of my favorite movies, and a HUGE influence on my synth-y musical obsession, Blade Runner. If you've never seen it, there's so much to appreciate musically! We dive into the specifics of what made its iconic soundtrack, and pick apart the sounds of its sequel, Blade Runner 2049.

In today's episode I wanted to take it back to where we started... just a simple bass line and a few musical ideas to play with! But as always, you can be sure synths and color are involved!

I get SO EXCITED about this topic!! Hang in there with me... we'll arrive to coherent thought eventually... Or at the very least, you'll be exposed to something REALLY COOL, and find some enjoyment in the ramblings.

Today I'll be going over sine waves. We're going to use it as a base for a nice, sustained pad sound. Pad sounds are typically found in music associated with a calming spa atmosphere. I thought this would be a lovely vehicle to take us on a group excursion to a relaxing moment together.
Enjoy!

Squares can be cool... especially in wave form! You'll like this if you grew up listening to the sweet sweet tones of 8 bit 80's video games! I hope you enjoy, and feel like a kid again!

Today's podcast took me in an unexpected direction. I started out with a sound, that led to a thought, that made me reflect on one composer who has had an influence on me. The amazingly talented, musical visionary, Vangelis passed away this week, and it didn't feel right to not take a moment.

Today I wanted to play more with the oscillators, but this time dig a little deeper into the other functions you can have fun with. I definitely got into it... especially because I got to play with my favorite waves, SAW TOOTH WAVES!!! Yes I had to put it all in caps... I get excited about it! :p
So with that, I hope you enjoy where we explore today! To watch this video on YouTube, follow this link https://youtu.be/cV_DQJxG6rU
This week I wanted to dive deeper into what exactly a synthesizer is by playing with its base components, sound waves. The vehicle to carry these sound waves, or the "cooking pot" as I call it, is the oscillator!
So with that, I hope you enjoy where we explore today! To watch this video on YouTube, follow this link https://youtu.be/eU49ZmivPN4
As you're probably aware of by now, I really love synthesizers, but in this episode, I want to show you something else I love, my electric bass guitar! So, the difference between the synthesizer and the electric bass is that the bass is analog; simply put, my hands plucking the string is the direct cause of the effect of hearing an immediate sound.
So with that, I hope you enjoy what we make today! To watch this video on YouTube, follow this link https://youtu.be/eU49ZmivPN4
Thanks for tuning in! This week I wanted to do more with sequencers, and show you a little more in depth just what a sequencer is.
I always believe in showing people a new thing, by first giving something familiar to bass new concepts off of. So, for anyone who has ever seen the Netflix show (or just the opening credits of) Stranger Things, you will recognize where we're going with this one.
We play with sound, we have some fun, and we learn some new stuff!
When I recorded this one, I was feeling inspired by the day; the sun, spring making everything come to life, and feeling the vibe of it all made me realize that I felt direction in my creativity... colors came to mind, and I was aware of what elements of the day I wanted to translate into my music. That's when I realized that one tool I use to write music is appreciation.
I hope you enjoy, and your own creative inspirations are sparked by it!
Hey! Welcome back!
Today I wanted to see what musical ideas that Jup-8 synth sound (that we created last week) might inspire me to come up with. I really like the direction it took me into, and I paired it with a beautiful, German grand piano sound that I felt created a nice juxtaposition with the grittiness of the Jup-8.
I hope you enjoy!
Hi all you lovely listeners!
Thank you so much for tuning in to my very first podcast!
I hope you find this to be enjoyable and even calming, as I play around with a synth pad sound!
I would love to hear your thoughts and/or suggestions for future episodes!
Keep listening and exploring with me, and have a great weekend!
