I think part of being mature is truly feeling the flow of time and realizing how short and fragile life can be. When you see people around you die, or get ill, or even when you yourself are attacked – like when strangers shot rockets at you – it makes you question your own beliefs but also be grateful for what you have.

This serves as a reminder for myself to be bold, brave, and strong. It's a call not to waste time and to cherish what life has to offer.

Maturity

Finally vacation!
Rainy Swedish summers means more time for fun.

All boy- and K-pop bands could probably be replaced by robots. No one would notice any difference…
Here is a humble suggestion.

Some silly boy band lyrics:

Throw your grippers in the air
Rotate your limbs like you don't care
Moving to the bass and snare
Feeling like a millionaire

The humans they just stand and stare
For them our skills are to unfair
They leave the club in big despair
Supremacy has been declared

We got no skin we got no hair
But girls still wants a love affair
We keep on dancing, unaware
Our bearings are beyond repair

We are right now we are right here
We know much more than m c square
Our robot dance will always scare
In dance battles everywhere

Our knowledge is extremely rare
The moves of robots, self aware
A wisdom that cannot be shared
FPGA is our firmware

I love Blade Runner!
I also think that Roy Batty was the true hero in the movie.

The only synth used is Arturias VST of Buchla Easel.
Quite different approach to sound synthesis. I wont use it again...

This is.a quick, rough, first test of Arturia's Pigments 6. I've never used Pigments before but saw that I had a huge discount available due to a crossgrade from V Collection 4. So for this first test, I just threw together some odd and interesting presets to test out.In the last part of the video, I also show my first couple of attempts at my own sound design with Pigments. My verdict overall, I really love this soft synth! Video version can be seen here - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F1t1RNYkMoM

Arturia Pigments 6 // First Test

Let me start with an apology to all french speaking listeners! I don't speak french and just translated English sentences based on French words that rhyme.

The song is a pastiche (French word!) on the New romantic band Visage.
It was the result of testing the new VST plugin “paralogy64” from Full Bucket Music, “           simulating the paraphonic Crumar Trilogy and Stratus keyboards from the early 1980s”.

French voice is provided by https://voicegenerator.io/
It has manually been split and pitch adjusted to resemble a French singer…

As usual, I have used reason and soft synths from Arturia and Cherry Audio.

I've been working on a story on and off for 3 years. I liked the concept, but it just didn't do what I hoped it would in storybook form. One day, Particle Dots asked if I was going to participate in the 2017 RPM Challenge, and immediately I knew that I would, whether I finished in time or not. I decided to treat my storybook idea as a song, and possibly an album. I knew it would help the rhythm of the lyrics and in fact it did improve the structure, and as I worked on it, it became an album. Thanks to a few MJ friends for the inspiration and the help on the songs to follow.

This is a very old (and poor quality) 4-Track cassette demo of a project I had with my girlfriend at the time in 1989. We had some interest from various labels including 4AD and Capitol Records when she up and left me (after 9 years) and took the demo tapes! This was (barely) salvaged from the original cassette master. All songwriting and instruments by me, vocals by an ex.
