This one is LOUD. Sorry, not sorry.

Using the Microfreak, I created a chiptune-esque 8-bit drum patch using the noise engine and tweaking the synth settings quite a bit. It ends up sounding loud and full of distortion and overdrive.

It addition to that there's a bass patch that reminds me heavily of the game Battletoads. Yep.

I wrote this before getting the DrumBrute Impact, so it's all basically 909 sounds from Logic Pro.

Lyrics:
Your love is so complicated
I feel your soul deep in my heart
Static on the television
I wish we could be together
Speak without the obfuscation
Do you feel my admiration?

My heart feels so low without you
I feel your soul deep in my heart
Speak without the obfuscation
Do you feel my admiration?
Oh, I hate this separation
I love you no matter how far

Long Distance Love

This was created for Music Theory and Composition 1 at Berklee Online. We had a lot of restrictions (4/4, major key, 7ths and tensions, modal interchange, etc.) and I was fairly proud of the result.

Springtime in the Garden

I'm on a learning adventure in all things synth.
