Good stuff, Dave. First original song is quite the milestone!

hi - i cant reply to your message unless you follow me apparently!?!

My first track/song. 
This is a remix from this original - Wasted All Of My Time (Original Mix)
Sencer Akkus Feat. Kate Wild-

I started this project on Alex Rome's EDM bootcamp. 
Made it on FL studio while watched tutorials from Logic Pro X. 
I replaced some materials with samples from my bought sample packs like drum filler and hihat loops during drops.

I used zplane's PEEL to divide the frequency and panning into nine, then randomly played the nice parts before concluding with the original recording. The track was composed for Ixi Music's December Patreon Challenge, and inspired by a sample of hers.

discombobulate (disquiet0629)

Immerse yourself in the electrifying rhythms of "You Don't Have to Be Alone," a dynamic blend of EDM and pop, with a nostalgic nod to the 90s through its distinctive organ bass sound. This track stands out with its infectious beat and an uplifting melody that captures the essence of a feel-good anthem. It's a perfect balance of high-energy beats and positive vibes, designed to get listeners moving and smiling. Ideal for any moment needing a burst of joy, this song is a celebration of companionship and the timeless spirit of dance music. Let "You Don't Have to Be Alone" be your soundtrack to good times and shared memories.

You don't have to be alone

My first original song is about aircraft 6205, the last operational Skyhawk in the Royal NZ Air Force. Its final flight should have been routine, but it wasn't! You can read my short story about the flight at https://www.davebstevens.com/last-skyhawk. And I've explained the radio messages here: https://www.davebstevens.com/last-skyhawk-song

The Last Skyhawk

Two Arturia KORG MS-20 V, and an Arturia ARP2600 V3, processing two recordings made in the airstream of a circulation fan. The wind noise both contributes to the output sound, but also is used to trigger envelopes and, in the case of the MS-20s, follow the envelope of the recordings. The ARP2600 is responsible for the Morse code-like sounds.

This is a mix of a track I created for ixi Music's January Patreon challenge. The challenge was to use a specific chord, comprising of a perfect fifth plus a minor third. So, if C was the root, the chord would be C, G, and B♭. Another part of the challenge was to not write in the key of C. I chose D as the root, and based the entire tune around the three notes (across several octaves).

I replaced the instrumental parts of a track I completed for ixi Music's Patreon Challenge, in January (https://soundcloud.com/wasabicube/andiamo?si=c1d963b8e5ba48eab5ccaf512118e147&utm_source=clipboard&utm_medium=text&utm_campaign=social_sharing), with samples of my voice saying "Disquiet Junto, number six hundred and thirty-three". The only original track is a field recording of the voice of ice skaters, skating in Union Square, San Francisco, at Christmas, many years ago. The samplers I used were TAL Sampler and Ableton's Simpler. I also used Klevgränd's Tomofon, with an instrument based on the same sample, for the "strings".
