Drax - Lost (wip)

This sucker was stuck in remake hell for quite some time. Sometimes there's just no magic, and I struggled for a long time with getting the groove to feel punchy but with some depth.

The secret, in this case, was adding the clav-like synth to make the groove a bit more in-your-face. I also added the solo section at the end and took some bigger swings with the harmonies.  Still a very short song (the original was around 2:20 I think), but I really think it's fine that way. It's more of a short story than a novel, if you will.

Oh, and the name. Another one of those silly puns. I just wish I had thought of "beer mitzvah" back then.

"Monochromatic Neon Lights", is my tribute to two of my favorite composers who layered the ground for my landscape in the world of music. Vangelis, Jarre, both kings who's always inspired me since an early age. The city life late at night when everyone are asleep added a melancholy emotion to this song, somehow reflects the amazing music Jóhann Jóhannsson wrote. This is my contribution to "Sound of SceneSat Vol.4"

Dearest little Liza. On Monday, May 6th 2019 you left us. Forever, leaving an empty space. No more warm cuddles on my arm, no more walks (even though they were very short towards the end). No more playing with your toys, no more big staring eyes, hoping for treats.

But also no more endless wandering and blank stares from your dementia. Nor early awakenings at 5 AM and wees/poos on the floor if we didn’t catch your fleeting signals. It’s painful, but perhaps the best thing to let you go... no more unrest.

«When tomorrow starts without me, don’t think we’re far apart, for every time you think about me, I’ll be right here in your heart.» 

In memory of Borderengas Amazing Grace – Liza <3.

Liza's Song

This is a remix or remake of the old and slightly famous demo song made for the Roland SC-55 range of GM modules. Adrian Scott initially wrote the song in 1989 as a demo for the W-30 Music Workstation, sampling the guitar with playing noises. He also needed a melody and his friend and vocalist, Penny Dryer did a vocal part. However, since the W-30 had limited sampling memory, he could only record the "doo" sound plus a line at the end of the song.

Roland's team back then was thrilled and wanted the song and the doo sample. And thus the famous «Voice Oohs» was born, which have been a fixed sound in every GM compliant module, synth and soundset ever since. You can hear Adrian talk about all these and more in this video from Roland: https://youtu.be/gWRy81QuOEU

The song was made as a homage to a great demo that had a huge impact on every kid who listened to the Sound Canvas series back in the early 90s. The premise is: "What if Leya grew up and had a daughter?".

Just for fun... the intro jingle for Planet X3 could be used as a start up chime for the Commander X16 computer The 8-Bit Guy is making. :)

The 8-Bit Guy start up chime (MT-32 version)

Electronic musician from Norway. I started playing piano/keyboards in the mid 80s. After a few years at the municipal music school, I quickly grew tired of the simple piano-only education and got to move on to classes with keyboards and synths. From the early beginning with Technics K-200 rhythm keyboard from 1983 via some Casios/Hohner keyboards, I evolved with the later Technics KN-1000 and KN-2000 before moving on to Roland XP-50. As the computer revolution made DAWs affordable, 1999 made sequencing using Cubase easy and the studio grew ever larger with more outboard gear. Today the studio has become a sizeable and functional MIDI/arranging studio with over 40 synths/modules and more centered around a MacPro with MOTU’s Digital Performer, and numerous more or less famous productions.

I have always had a musical approach towards sound engineering and composing, rooted mainly in vivid harmonic structures and saturated compositions. Inspiration has always been the likes of Jean Michel Jarre, Vangelis, Eric Serra to name a few giants in the electronic scene, but also a heart towards well produced pop music from the 70s and 80s as well as epic film scores from John Williams, Alan Silvestri and Hans Zimmer. The baby era of computer music from the late 80s and early 90s was also a heavy influence.
