What better way to hone my AI vocal synthesis skills than to cover the inimitable vocal stylings of Annie Lennox of the Eurythmics? With main and backing harmonies, falsetto, and ad-lib vocalizations, this was the perfect song to test how far I could push AI singing.

I wanted to see where I could take the arrangement too, so I revamped the bass and took a more minimalist approach to the instrument layering to let the vocals shine. I also flipped the script on the "chorus" parts making them high energy. And my favorite part was modulating from A minor to C minor at the third chorus and through the end. I did add in there are 6 bars of the original hook before the third "chorus" (as well as the middle refrain of of the third chorus) as an homage to Dave Stewart's famous earworm synth line--although I used a subtle analog bell rather than the in your face saw-bass-lead. but fully embraced it with distorted guitars in the outro.

I hope you enjoy it.

Sweet Dreams (cover)

Music by Eric J. Turman
Lyrics by Ethan Heseldin

A friend asked me to compose a song to a Halloween poem by Ethan Heseldin. I had a lot of fun making this one and adding a bit of camp to it, and I hope you enjoy listening to it. As usual, it is completely created and synthesized in Reason Studio.

(Verse 1)
Halloween night, the moon's shining bright,
Gather 'round the fire, for a spooky delight.
Costumes on fleek, we're ready to freak,
Trick or treatin', it's the night we seek.
(Chorus)
It's Halloween, the witches convene,
Ghosts in the air, and it's quite the scene.
Pumpkins all carved, with faces that gleam,
Welcome to the night of your darkest dream.
(Verse 2)
Haunted houses and creaky floors,
Monsters lurking behind hidden doors.
Jack-o'-lanterns flicker, casting eerie glows,
Candy in our bags, down the streets we go.
(Chorus)
It's Halloween, the witches convene,
Ghosts in the air, and it's quite the scene.
Pumpkins all carved, with faces that gleam,
Welcome to the night of your darkest dream.
(Verse 3)
Creeping through the shadows, under the moon,
Werewolves howling, a banshee's croon.
Skeletons dancing in the pale moonlight,
On this Halloween, it's a thriller of a night.
(Chorus)
It's Halloween, the witches convene,
Ghosts in the air, and it's quite the scene.
Pumpkins all carved, with faces that gleam,
Welcome to the night of your darkest dream.
(Verse 4)
As the clock strikes midnight, the monsters retreat,
Back to their lairs, where they find their seat.
But the memories of this night won't fade away,
Until next Halloween, when the spooks come to play.
(Chorus)
It's Halloween, the witches convene,
Ghosts in the air, and it's quite the scene.
Pumpkins all carved, with faces that gleam,
Welcome to the night of your darkest dream.
(Outro)
So, as the Halloween night comes to a close,
Remember the thrill, the scares, and the woes.
'Til next year, when we'll scream and cheer,
Happy Halloween, my friends, and never fear!

Got Reason+ from a friend - started making some music - acquired more and more instruments and now it's my primary outlet. Dreaming of finding someone that would like to write songs with me. I really can't do lyrics well.

Hello,
My name is Pascal, aka Atha.
When I was young, I studied in music school, and composition was a great dream that today I can make true.
I compose only instrumental and ambiance music, but sometimes, I can write electronic sounds.

Bonjour,
Mon nom est Pascal, Aka Atha
Etant jeune, j'ai étudié la musique au concervatoire, et la composition était l'un des plus rêves que je peux réaliser aujourd'hui.
Je compose essentiellement de la musique d'ambiance et instrumentale, mais parfois, je me laisse aller par quelques sonorités chillout et électronique.
