Great stuff Vandenhengel. Bulletrank has a free play offer right now, you should try it out and get some plays

The guitar riff was basically begging for a drum and bass rendition from the moment I heard it :)

Junkie XL - At The Speed of Force - Liquid DNB Remix #NowScoreThis

Tom Holkenborg (Junkie XL) provided the original guitar stems of “At the speed of force”. The theme from the Flash in Zack Snyders Justice League series. It is not a contest but more of a show case of what the community of producers, composers and music makers can do with it. No prizes to win.

I’m not much of a sample flipper so I took the stems for imspiration and the key of the track. I also did not make it a movie score but a dance track with a melodic base line, typical for me. The speed was upped from 80 to 130 bpm. 

The gear used are emulations of the TR909, Oberheim OB-Xa, Moog mini, Yamaha DX7, Buchla Easel, Solina String ensemble, Melotron and Roland Juno 6. I also used a choir instrument from Pianobook and Spitfire Labs (Choir: Long). From the Spitfire I also used string harmonics from original strings. And finally the Hammond B3 makes an appearance.

Even if I did something completely different compared to the original, the main riff as played in stem 5 is still recognizable. I made 4 versions of it for a different experience throughout the track. For the first I cut the high end a bit and added a (Roland Juno) chorus. I also added auto pan (Pancake) to this for movement. The second variant adds a higher octave, using Soundtoys Little Alterboy, giving it certain sharpness to add to the intensity. Variant 3 contains a ducking filter (W.A. Doge Pro) to add a rhythmic flavour to the sound. The 4th variant, Is without Litle Alterboy but with the ducking filter. 

I used stem 2, 3 and 4 as a base for drones. Reversing, chopping, panning and eq-ing them. Putting distortion with iZotope Trash on stem 4. The track contains, next to variations of the main theme a part around the B3 and a choral part. All the parts (except the stem samples of cause) where played live from my midi keyboard. Every part is played fully with variations. No copying a bar into infinity. I also rarely touch the quantise button. Only when it fits the purpose in the track.

 I hope you enjoy my entry. You also can find me on major streaming platforms as Vandenhengel and on Instagram @roy.vandenhengel. If you have questions just ask. I will release more dance tracks later this month.

Vandengengel Harmonica

A short track, inspired by a sampled harmonica (by Roy van den Hengel) found on pianobook.co.uk. The harmonica sounds very nice, and I decided to do something with it. I loaded my Fazioli grand from Waves (Grand Rhapsody). This grand piano is sampled in a London studio (Metropolis Studio) and it is the same piano that is used in the Adele song 'Hello'. So I decided to use the chords of that song as played in the beginning, and to process the sound as close to as it sounds in the Adele song. On top of it is the harmonica, accompanied by a little string sound from the Roland Juno 60, as produced by the U-He synth Diva. And this is the humble result...
