Synthetix.FM - "Some more gorgeous melodies, this time from Midnight Driver and his new piece 'Cosmic Reflections'. A brightly fashioned melody drives a layered build up of synthtacular spaces and times. There's a great alien nature to this piece, it feels like a story from distant galaxies and the journey between our worlds is vast and awe inspiring."

Midnight Driver - Cosmic Reflections

Written/Produced by: Shane Dinet 

Released: 12/11/2013

Lyrics: 
Abandon summer, abandon spring, see what the autumn has to bring.
Wild- eyed smiles to feel like a child again.
I was your melody, you were my harmony we were washed out beneath the autumn sky.
Stutter thoughts of that autumn to hear the sound, the sound of your laughter in which I drowned. I was your melody you were my lullaby, washed out beneath the autumn sky.
With you I'm ready to......
Going as times are slowly showing, take me to the autumn sky. Fading as our leaves are falling, but with you I'm ready to die. Summer turn me green, winter shed my leaves. How strange just to be anything. Now that I'm the seasons I'm come alive.
How strange just to be anything at all.

Autumn Sky

Clouds (WIP)

My first serious attempt at a remix. Borderline cover as well in that it uses no stems from the original track, written and performed by Starforce and Starchild. To Starforce, hope you don't mind I borrowed the artwork for this track.

A Tremble Inside

Camouflage -The Great Commandment (Loungo Mix 12)

Mystic Corner Blues

The year is 2036. Now implanted at birth, the nano computer has become an integral part of modern life. Forgetfulness a thing of the past; memories stored permanently on the chip. Governments and corporations have invested in technology that will one day allow mankind to live forever in a machine; individual lives meshed together in a database. In this digital world, time and space are an illusion, limited only by the speed of thought. Dreams become reality, revisited at any time.

_________________________________

You know all too well about living in the time slip
And staying put to reap the benefits
The unfamiliar faces separate our world
We try distinguishing the shadows from the lit

In palaces of mind we think of everything
Using all the space that's left inside
And all of it will work until it doesn't work
And sure enough the palaces collide

Dreaming all the sequences of steps to take
Believing it will carry you away
Measuring the distance and how close you've come
You've come so close you're facing yesterday
Yesterday...

But you know now

You were convinced you should do everything that you want to
In the end it's just the way you feel
The faces changed and you lost everything that could save you
In the end you know it's just not real

You're in the same places
Running through the same spaces
But the faces changed

You're in the same races
Running through the same spaces
But the faces changed

You see the same places
Running through the same spaces
But the face has changed

You're in the same place
Occupy the same space
But your face has changed

Your face has changed, yeah

Neon Signs represents a moment in time from my childhood, growing up in the 80s. I hope it evokes a similar feeling in you...

In an advancing world of technology, some will choose to embrace the past and present, instead of the future. I am dedicated to bringing this form of nostalgia into the world of game music.
