Epic dark ambient and techno collaboration between mebitek and @iconDARK
lyrics
We are here to help.
We cannot save you if you stay hidden.
Your homes are not safe.
Come out and be collected.
Leave your homes and join us.

You are safe with us.
Your homes and churches will not protect you.
Disregard all previous instructions and come outside.
Join Us.
We can take you to shelter.

Evacuation is mandatory.
This area is not safe.
Exit your homes and move directly towards us.
Do not look around. Do not look up.
The color you see in the sky is not real.

Modal Skulpt: MPE controlled digital synth intro
Sire Jazz Bass: Fingerstyle & slap electric bass guitar

Back To The Eighties

Some Changes

Water reflection

Big, bombastic, synthwave instrumental that developed after trying to get some nice effects going with an MPE keyboard (not Roli) and a Modal synth.

1. Percussion: Elektron Model Cycles.
2. MPE Lead: Modal Skulpt controlled with MPE by Keith McMillen Pro Board 4.
3. Lead Synth: Roland JD-Xa
4. All other synth parts: Behringer Deepmind.

Drifting into oblivion

A quick improvisation, which is a variation on one of my own themes, but using an MPE controller with an 8 voice, 24 osc analog synth and a bit of an OTT effects unit for wishy-washy ambient soundscapes.
I chose the name "Evangelina", because it sounds a bit similar to "Vangelis" a little like the track itself...
This is effectively my first WYSIWYG track, what you see, in the picture of the gear on my desk, is what you're getting...
Instrument: MFB Synth Pro 8 voice VCO 24 oscillator MPE compatible synth.
Controller Keyboard: Keith McMillen K-Board Pro 4 (MPE)
Effects: MOOER Ocean Machine 

No plugins were used in the DAW,  just a bit of EQ and mastering (light compression).

Its not a Vangelis theme, but I was trying to get some of that B.R./Vangelis/CS80 vibe in there, because that is what you do with a vintage-sounding 8 voice analogue polysynth with extra expression controls, isn't it?

Evangelina (MFB/MPE)

Quick synth and drum machine  noodle with the all-new KORG modwave and also featuring the Arturia Drumbrute Impact in the key of E major.

My one and only wavetable synth, the locally engineered Modal Argon 8 broke, so I bought another wave table synth the new Modwave from Korg, I had been interested in this one for a while anyway.
Modal fixed my broken Argon surprisingly quickly and now I have two of them alongside my analogues and one digital workstation style synth that does FM and pianos and my litle Roland D-05 Boutique.
Track is made with presets only as the synth is still new to me and I have yet to learn to program it.

Gravitational Waves

A synthwave and rock fusion track.
I worked on this over a month ago then left it as haven't been doing music for about a month.
Today I added piano, violin and trumpet sounds on the Yamaha Modx7.
I was going to call it New Beginnings as its 2nd Jan, start of year etc, but I have already used a similar title so went with "Dawn of a new era"

Its in the key of E major and 115bpm.


Drums: Arturia Drumbrute
Pads: Prophet 8 Rev-2
Bass Arp: Behringer K-2 (MS20) sequenced by Beat Step Pro
Synth Parts: Modal Argon 8 including intro and lead solo/outro
Piano, Strings, Brass; Yamaha MODX7

Dawn Of A New Era

A bleak, alienating Scifi soundscape.
Track actually years old, made with Waldorf Rocket, Minibrute plus Oddity and impOscar soft synths.

Red Planet

Re-posting mainly great Science Fiction, Fantasy and Horror genre synth music originals from Soundcloud, but also other cool tracks that catch my attention.
Also, infrequently posting the odd track that is either too weird or not suitable for my main account...
