Do you feel this music as I do versjon 3

A little slow balladesque track I started working on in 2015 with Gina and Kristine. Never got around to finish it back then and has been sitting on the shelf for so long that it was about time I did it. Changed the intro sound a little since it bugged me with its resonance peaking all the time, it should be more homogenous now and in lieu with the rest of my current production.

A demo song I made using only sampled sounds from the Technics sx-K200 Electronic Keyboard (1981). This was Technic's flag ship back in the days with 8 rhythms, 8 polyphonic sounds and 6 monophonic solo sounds. Sampled in 24 bit and re-combined into new sounds to give a broader palette to work with than the original 14 sounds.

The only extra added sample not from this keyboard is a crash cymbal borrowed from the Hohner PSK-30 keyboard since it has none built in.

My second keyboard back in 1989/1990 was the Hohner PSK-30 (Basically a Casio CT-460 inside, I believe Casio let Hohner rebrand the case for sales in Europe) because it was the only one I could afford at the time. Also very limited with 27 sounds, drums, sound effects and 20 rhythms. They boasted it had 465 poly mix sounds, but it was just combinations of two of the existing sounds together which was really crappy when I found out. :P

This song is made from only samples of these sounds, recombined in Phalanx sample player with effects, reverb, delay etc. to boost everything beyond what the keyboard is actually capable of. Still, it's the genuine sounds of the Casio chips at work here. Enjoy! :)

Hohner PSK - 30 Song

A song I made when rewiring my studio and had to test if everything worked properly afterwards. Turned out that it had to become a proper song after all. ;)

Back in 1997 I wrote this half-way thing called "Epic of the 90s" which I had intended for The Gathering (Norway's famous data party). However, I never got around to complete it, and just recently found the original files on my Roland XP-60. So there was only one thing to do: Rework it and make it into something suitable for 2018. 

The song is a little homage to all the great artists in the demo groups and crews who made these parties what they were and are today.

Verse:
My life has been such a busy thing, with everyone telling me, what to do, to think, to, to feel.
Suddenly I realise I no longer remember the song that I used to sing.

For many years I've been practicing, living my life without bringing life to it.
Loving with my heart in an absent manner, all in all it made me forget the song that I used to sing. (I used to sing)

Bridge:
What is real and what is not, what's important, what’s not?

Chorus:
I have lost a song, that I used to sing. (I have lost a song)
I have lost the love it used to bring.
And suddenly my words, don’t mean a thing. (Suddenly my words)
I have lost a song, I have lost a song I used to sing.

Verse:
The right words and the special sound, the magic string.
I’ve been searching for it everywhere (Everywhere)
I just can’t find it anywhere, it’s oh so silent, a song long ago.

Bridge:
What is real and what is not, what's important, what’s not?

Chorus:
I have lost a song, that I used to sing. (I have lost a song)
I have lost the love it used to bring.
And suddenly my words, don’t mean a thing. (Suddenly my words)
I have lost a song, I have lost a song I used to sing.

Sax solo

Chorus:
I have lost a song, that I used to sing. (I have lost a song)
I have lost the love it used to bring.
Suddenly my words, don’t mean a thing. (Suddenly my words)
I have lost a song, I have lost a song I used to sing.

A Song Long Ago

This is a track I started on way back in 2013. I had bought the Realivox Blue from Realitone - a vocal sample plugin for Kontakt, where you can build syllables and phrases. Recorded just one lady singing so you can get some nice stuff. However I couldn't get it to be exactly as I wanted because the pronounciation is a little limited and things tend to get artificial. So it's only oohs, aahs and such here.. but I finally got it together and finished now.. only five years on the shelf! ;)

Isabella's Dream

This is the main song I made during my stay at Thomann's Synth Reactor 2019 in Germany. The question was if it's possible to make some good retro 80s synth music with budget synths (around $500), and it most definitely can.

I set up a little miniature version of my studio with a Yamaha Reface DX, a Yamaha MS61, a Roland Juno DS, Roland SE-02 and a Behringer DeepMind 6. Combined with my MacBook Pro with MOTU Digital Performer, Microbook IIc and MicroLite MIDI interfaces as well as a Thomann T-Mix DM-20 Digital Mixer (also around $500) and some sample packs from my collection. All melodic parts are played by these synths, the drums are slightly from the MX61 (percussion and hi hats) while the drums are Zenhiser 80s Retro Drummer because there are virtually no good retro kits to be found these days. It's all modern stuff apparently.

Thanks to Thomann, Roland, Yamaha and Behringer for letting me borrow these fine pieces of gear.

Retro Grooves Vol. 4

Chrome Explosion

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.
