Submission for Composer Synthestration Jam #1 hosted by Joe Chris for Itch.IO August 2025
The jam called either for directly synthesizing a classical/romantic piece or to write an original piece entirely in synthesizers.
Technically all of my output is always done -on- synthesizers with the FA-08 or with software synths in the laptop.
However I took pains in the submitted mp3 to mostly use synth tones.
In *MuseScore* however: if I used all different synth tones the player online in MuseScore's website would give an end product where things sounded very murky and bled-into-each-other. So there are some natural-sounding instrument tones albeit electronically produced, which are indicated in the score PDF as a result of that. And there are probably a small number of natural-instrument tones in the mp3 file which is the principal submission piece: however in that case it's like 90% electronic sequence tones.

The process was to listen to the Bela Bartók piece (4 Stücke Sz 22 BB 27 No.4 "Scherzo") on the mp3 player's earbuds while manually performing similarly "inspired" sections on the FA-08 and then to export that as a wav file. this wav file was then combined in MixCraft with the MIDI export also from the FA-08 and then the MIDI export used MixCraft's instruments in addition which takes us beyond the 16-track capacity of the FA-08 on its own. There are inter-cuts of brand new variations on the Whimsy series' leitmotifs, which cause this to be designated Whimsy Number 7.

A therapeutic journey into a mix of jazz, classical, and a blend of types of electronica.  And a wry, gradual observation that promotion tends to only go as far as you push it.  At least I make my fellow musicians laugh a little.

“Music gives a soul to the universe, wings to the mind, flight to the imagination and life to everything.” ― Plato

dalaitom, is an enigmatic artist whose musical journey began at the tender age of 5 when he first laid hands on the piano keys. Hailing from a lineage of musicians, dalaitom's innate passion for music was nurtured from an early age. His formative years were marked by rigorous training and exploration, leading him to pursue formal studies in music at the college level. It was during this time that dalaitom's artistic identity began to crystallize, as he delved deep into the realms of composition and sonic experimentation. In a world inundated with noise, dalaitom's music serves as a beacon of clarity and beauty, reminding us of the transformative power of art in all its myriad forms.
