@magician-2: Great comment, much appreciated :)

@puzzle-man-1: Hi there, thanks so much for all the comments ! Not sure where to start so I'll start here. Indeed Cubase is a more fully fledged DAW than Garageband although it's surprising hat you can achieve with Apple's freebie. Are you using a PC or Mac ?

@puzzle-man-1: Ah, you have an iPad ? In that case, take a peek at the iOS Version of Garageband and other great standalone synth apps like Sunrizer, Animoog, Galilleo, Thumbjam and many more..

Well that was full of super synths and they was certainly flying very well indeed Nathan. Superb track my good friend and very well enjoyed the blast indeed.

Cool electronica sound. Love the way this builds. Cheers for sharing Nathan

I thought Dr Who as well.  Meets Jean Michel Jarre maybe?  Great atmosphere and build.

every week I share scifi synth that takes you on an audio journey across the cosmos.

a big thanks to those of you making awesome music!! remember support the musicians guys!

add your synth tracks to the group, my favorite tracks of the week get added to that weeks playlist! https://soundcloud.com/groups/synthwavegalaxy

No Exit

Feeling "synthed up" after my recent collab with cosmic girl https://soundcloud.com/selena-jay I decided to dig out an old synth track and beef it up with Positive Grid's "Final Touch" mastering app. The result was pretty good.
100% made with iPad apps.
Trippy video version of this track here :

Lyrics as follows.

Hey baby what is it with you
Have you got something you're trying to hide
The sun ain't shining when I'm around you lately
There's something eating you inside

I get this feeling your keeping something from me
Buried deep locked up inside
I can see it in your face
That look of fate
That might just hit me by surprise

Hey girl I don't know what you're going through
But I'm not to blind to see
There's something deep that's gotten inside of you
Something you need to set free

Dealing with your problems will rid you of this curse
That's spreading in you like a germ
Rub salt into the wound 
Don't be a fool
Let out this canister of worms

Hey babe you've bitten off more than you can chew
It may be an heavy cross to bear
But dealing with corruption is never an easy thing to do
It might even make such matters worse

It's a complicated situation where more problems may arise
That might be a cause for concern
Something more you'll have to face
Something you might hate
Just get out this canister of worms

Dealing with your problems will rid you of this curse
That's spreading in you like a germ
Rub salt into the wound 
Don't be a fool
Let out this canister of worms
Let out this canister of worms
Let out this canister of worms
Let out this canister of worms

Lots of fun with the analogue delay & chorus pedals over an insistent P-bass groove.

SUBJECTS : Gordon Midgley & Joan Silentio

Sometimes

Bot spoken merge of words by Marylin Whirlwind, from Northern Exposure, with The Zen koan about the Hundred Foot Pole, along the observation that if birds could speak, they in fact, wouldn't be able to fly! Mainly because, words are like boulders, they weigh us down! A chord progression I really like Dm Am Dm BbMaj7 C Dm7 G7 here as a backing for hopefully improving guitar solos, which are the true basis of my endevours! To soar like Gilmour ;-)

Failing Upwards

Wistman's Wood 2019 : The Hunt

March 29th 2019 sees the Five Year Anniversary of Napier's Bones and we'll be releasing an album of our personal favourites from the five albums : respectfully remixed and remastered with a few strategic overdubs.
Oh yes, we've even picked up a real live drummer for the birthday bash.
Wistman's Wood was the very first track and still exists in its original form here : 
https://soundcloud.com/gordon_m/wistmans-wood-vocal-nathan-jon

To whet your appetite we're posting this excerpt which sees our hero fleeing across the moonlit slopes of Dartmoor with the Devil's own hell-hounds in hot pursuit.

Wistmans Wood 2019 : The Hunt

Written by Terry Reeves.  
Arranged, Produced and Mixed by Gordon Midgley.  
https://soundcloud.com/gordon_m
https://soundcloud.com/napiers_bones

Gordon Midgley: Guitars, Bass, Percussion, Backing Vocals
Gary Reeves: Lead Vocal, Drums

This song’s about a bloke I know.  He tends to find life a bit difficult because he overly frets about stuff.  I mean, you and me might worry we’ll lose our loved-ones in some monstrous accident, but he’s the kind who’ll drive himself into towering anxiety about a remark he remembers making in 1973.  

So as a result, I suppose you’d say he’s something of a recluse, but will occasionally put in a surprise appearance, and invariably gets the very warmest of welcomes.  But although he does want to be, he’s not back.

Gordon has done such superb work on this song - he’s captured everything it is about and so much more.  Gal and me are incredibly lucky to be able to work with such a fine musician - he makes the process so pleasurable and so easy. 
(Terry Reeves)
  
NOT BACK

Alone again on my own
I don't know where the time has gone
But I'm not back
And I'm not back again

Words of friendship in my head
Too many spaces with nothing said
But I'm not back
And I'm not back again

CHORUS:
I don't know who I want to be
It's not me
I don't know who I want to see
It's not me
It's not me

Many friends say they understand
Distant echoes of a silent band
But I'm not back
And I'm not back again

There's no witness to the tears I've cried
No Samaritan will live by my side
But I'm not back 
And I'm not back again

CHORUS

Waking silence a constant voice 
Answer questions not always by choice
But I'm not back 
And I'm not back again

Much to do but so much pain
Straining muscles inside my brain 
But I'm not back
And I'm not back again

Middle instrumental break

CHORUS

Waiting moments a chance to breathe
Thinner air makes it harder to achieve 
But I'm not back 
And I'm not back again

Sideways thinking but nothing heard
One voice to keep you happy another voice to keep it blurred 
But I'm not back
And I'm not back again

No I'm not back.             
And I'm not back          
Again…

Not Back:  Cripple Club & Gordon M

Music for dreaming, floating, flying away...

Floating

This song started as a project in Spanish, with our virtual band La E-Union. Kirine adapted the  lyrics into an English version and it resulted into this symphonic ballad, a meditation on love and loss. Enjoy! 

Instrumental  composition: Alf Schumacher aka Spektralfarben
Melodic line, English lyrics and vocals: Kirine (https://soundcloud.com/kirine11)
