Noodle 009 - Low-passing jet airplane 2 (foley/effect)

This uses Surge XT for 90% of the sounds, with help from Arturia Piano V and CMI Saraah. I used this to help develop hard-blown orchestral brass sounds in Surge XT. It also includes some of the patches I'll be releasing (free) soon.

Originally composed by Mike Oldfield for The Songs of Distant Earth soundtrack. This Noodle is a segment of around 30 seconds, as fair use.

Noodle 021 - Solo Cello (Jam Jar, WIP) - Surge XT

A cover of OMD's All That Glitters.

Created in Surge XT, as a demo of my patch like the Korg M1 "Symphonic Strings"

This is synthesis, not samples. Drums: Cakewalk.

There's no MIDI on the web of this piece, so these are my notes/score.

Sound design, arrangement, articulations, and mix by me. This Noodle is a segment of around 50 seconds, as fair use.

Noodle 023 - All that Glitters - Surge XT - sound texture

The beginnings of an experiment to use my expressive synthesized strings, using my Surge XT patches for all instruments.

Because this is a work-in-progress, this track might not be here for long, and I've likely improved on it already ;)

I used a public MIDI file, but I'll be rearranging it, because this seems squashed into four soloist parts. It would benefit from a more thorough voicing.

Noodle 025 - Albinoni Adagio D Minor - Surge XT - v2 WIP temporary
