"Dino Steps" (edit: Mastered with iZotope Ozone on 25 September, 2023)

Here is a song which - despite it being played in minor key - was originally meant to tell a story of a celebration! You see, I recently got a chance to get a new electric piano sound library and especially a new lovely Dyno Rhodes sound which I so dearly love and which I believe to have been listening to all my life on countless of records and songs. So, I sat down, started to play and here is the end result. The sound, beauty and expressiveness of Dyno-My-Piano modification of Rhodes electric piano never ceazes to amaze me. You can play almost anything with it. The name of the song "Dino Steps" was partly related to that "Dyno" sound but also came to be as a reminder of the known fact that sometimes in life a step that seems small can be or mean a giant step. Finally, the name also came to be as a wish from a certain private party (that is, a certain natural person:) who happens to love dinosaurs.

The song was played by me using my old Korg SGProX digital stage piano as a midi keyboard and the Yamaha Montage 8 as a audio interface. The main electric piano sound here is the lovely Dyno Rhodes sound from the wonderful Dyno Expansion of the Neo-Soul Keys Studio 2 by Gospel Musicians (cf. Dyno-My-Piano), added with some MKS-20 type of keyboard sounds (UVI Key Suite Digital) and the Scarbee EP-88S. Then there is the iconic Marcato Strings sound from the UVI Emulation II+ (cf. Emu Emulator). The drums are the Native Instruments Abbey Road 1980s Drummer (with a layered Linndrum snare and a layered 808 type of kick). Then I have a Moog type of bass sound (UVI Ultramini, Arturia Mini-V) and the pad/horns from the UVI "PX memories" (cf. Memorymoog). 

The wonderful lead sound is a lead sound from the DX7 (Syn-Lead1h, converted to Yamaha Montage by Hideo Harada, Kamoda Music).

LYRICS:

Woa woa watchu gonna say?

BTCH you know that I don't fcking play

But that is the wrong way

BTCH I'm so fat like fcking Rod Wave

Like call me superman cuz imma save yall!

even if you fall and get hit by the wall

And I really like shopping at the mall

Like what's at the mall?

Is there some Tee's? Like what are these?

Imagine paying for a feat, that's the dumbest shi I've ever heard

But i don't care cuz I'm fly like a birdd

Shawty tell me what's the word?

Like gawd damn imma get that wam wam

And tell me get that around

And she liked my old sound

And tell me that I'm the one you found..

Don't tell me the other shi..

Break it up, Break it up

But nah, cuz that shi is so funny

and she told me that she bunny!

And I'm so sugar like a gummy..
