deadbeatblast - hero of light

One of my many unfinished projects that have been bugging me for some years now. Took a long time to finish the song and record the video during a insane workload these past months at my daytime job. But it's done now. 

This was originally intended as song dedicated to my late mom, but we never got around to make lyrics and it just fizzled out. It became an instrumental track after all, still dedicated to the loss of those dear to me. 

Used a lot of Roland MKS as usual and some Yamaha. Even a good deal of Ensoniq gear too as well as Nexus4 for the intro arpeggios in the background.

Echoes of You

Echoes Of You

So, Alex Ball made this rather lovely track a couple of years ago, demonstrating the AMS 1580S and the AMS RMX 16 reverb and delay units. As usual, I couldn't resist taking the vocals and give them my own little twist. I started last year, but things came in the way and the project halted for a bit. Finally managed to complete it just now and here is the result.

Lyrics:

Verse 1:
Agnus Dei with blessed rains above.
Open waves, the children saved white doves.

Chorus:
And if I can’t reach, you’ll lift me, my love.
And if I can’t breathe, you will be my lungs.

Verse 2:
Domine, thine image made echo.
Empty space, ideas create that we know.

Chorus:
And if I can’t reach, you’ll lift me, my love.
And if I can’t breathe, you will be my lungs.
And if I can’t breathe, you will be my lungs.

Agnus Dei [Feat. Alex Ball] Remake

The 90s called and wanted its groove back. I told it to stop, collaborate and listen! I've had this Alex Ball song on the agenda for quite some time too, and finally got around to finish it up. As always, he made some really catchy hooks that instantly got my 66% shuffle groove going. And I of course went a little more happy-pappy dance floor early 90s style, sprinkled with some glossy 80s FM ear candy and more. 

This is for those who wonder, taken from Alex' video on the Yamaha TX81Z sound module and how he made a "90s Banger" on it. I've also used some TX sounds and enhanced the palette with all sorts of 80s and 90s relevant gear. Hope you like it! ;)

Nothing Left To Lose
Lyrics and melody: Alex Ball
Arrangement: Anders Enger Jensen

Verse 1:
Now this is the verse rap section
Cover your ears for your own protection
‘Cause I’m gonna lay it down
Drop my lyrics all over the town

I got prose up in your face
Teaming up with that Lately Bass
We’ll be here for a little while
With rhyming couplets in a 90s style

Verse 2:
‘Cause this is the way it should be
Got funky sounds from the 81Z
I got class, I’m a rapping hero
My FM sounds are truly through-zero

I got MIDI to play the notes
Sing back the melodies that I wrote
My tunes play across the nations
Slicker than CC information

Chorus 1:
Now I’m saying I got nothing left that I can lose!
And I’m showing that there’s nothing I should prove to you! Oh-oh! (2x)

Verse 3:
I’m back with more rhyming verse
The second time will probably be worse
But I’ll give it my best shot
More crappy lyrics is all I got

But I’ll bring some synth puns with ’em
References to algorithms
‘Cause I’ll be your smooth operator
You’re carrier, I’m modulator

Verse 4: 
Feedback, push the envelope
I’ll spit more rhymes as you losers choke
I got skills like learning the theory
Which is why my sounds ain’t dreary

I’ve got groove, it’s so surprising
With Stereoping, avoid menu diving
So I’m gonna smell you later
And leave you with the sounds of the tone generator!

Chorus 2:
Now I’m saying I got nothing left that I can lose!
And I’m showing that there’s nothing I should prove to you! Oh-oh! (2x)

Bridge:
(Vocal adlibs)

Chorus 3:
Now I’m saying I got nothing left that I can lose!
And I’m showing that there’s nothing I should prove to you! Oh-oh! (3x)

Collaborations Vol. 1

Nothing Left To Lose [Feat. Alex Ball]

ohh man... i can't believe i wasted an hour making this.

Dr Jones

Just one of those songs that came out of nowhere. I felt I hadn't made anything worthwhile in a long time and just started on the initial arpeggio groove, added some Yamaha TX816 bells and leads, and the rest just fell into place like pearls on a string.

I asked my friends Håvard and Terje if they wanted to add some proper guitars instead of the MIDI guitars I laid down initially, and this is the result.  Pull down the roof on your convertible and start cruisin'! ;)

Since SoundCloud is so much more strict than other platforms, the full version with vocals was removed and only the instrumental was allowed. Check out the Youtube video and BandCamp for the full experience.

After making that little shorts video with all the first chords played on 55 synthesizers, I finally had time and energy to tackle the full song and video. Here is Kim Wilde's You Came, beefed and dressed up in all sorts of pastels and wonderful glory the 80s could muster!

Kim (and her team) already did a bang up job with the original, so it was daunting to even start doing something with this song, but I hopefully added some extra flair and oompf while paying respect to the original craftmanship.

It's actually a significant use of reFX Nexus4 and their FM, 80s and 90s expansion packs, but also a lot of Yamaha TX816 (Full DX Glory!), Ensoniq, Roland, Korg and Alesis synths all the way.

This is a performance of the Commando HighScore music originally composed my Rob Hubbard for the Commodore 64.  It is performed entirely on the Casio SA-76, a toy keyboard sold for $49.  It was recorded in 5 separate tracks into Audacity and mixed.  No other post processing was done.

This track is me playing the tune to Spelunker live on my MK-100, without any editing.  I have used the synthesizer part of the keyboard to configure it to imitate the sound of the SID chip in the C64.  So it sounds very similar to the SID version, only slightly better since it has more voices and a cleaner sound to it.

This is a remake of my original "Legacy of the 90s" done entirely on a Roland MT-32 module. I did this sometime back in 2013 and forgotten about it, but dug it out recently. The 8-Bit Guy is using this version in his latest episode about the MT-32 module. ;)

Check out the original here: https://soundcloud.com/eox-studios/legacy-of-the-90s

Legacy of MT-32

Another little track made for backing purposes. Although the title suggest lots of Portal references, I couldn't find a proper title... and the little piece of GlaDOS harmony got stuck in my head. So there you have it, hope you didn't get to disappointed. I might do a proper remake/remix of one of the Portal songs down the road. ;)

Planet X2 Theme 2 (Protoids Approaching)

A few years ago, I was working with a Social Entrepreneur organization and helped develop an activity programme for kids. As a part of that project, I had made a song intended to be used for one of the dance videos with lyrics. However it never came to fruition, but the song has been on the shelf nevertheless. Apart from missing the lyrics and the rap part during the counterpart, it should be just as enjoyable as the other songs.

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.
