My KVR OSC #159 entry: Jam Surge

Wanted to do more, but ended up just jamming around due to being late to the party...
This is mainly one take as I hadn't too much time for editing.
This is coming back from a very long break... and it seems it shows in having unused creative muscles..
Hoping to get back and more into music!

So meanwhile... just playing around and trying to have some fun

Jung Chang

Nightfall Serenade

A weird approach and experiment, on a rather bitter day.
Sorry for the 'mono' mix.

I wanted to make a tune faster (it usually takes too much time :D).
So I recorded a track, put it on audio, recorded the second track, merged (mixed) the audio with the original (deleted intermediate files), and so on for about 7 times.

Bad thing is now I can't change anything about the mix (realised everything is centered, at the end). Good thing is that it only took 4 hours to make.

What do you think?

Meditation

This melody is composed by Fivos Valachis (https://soundcloud.com/fivosvalachis)

I got a lot of inspiration when I first heard “A Greek in Vienna” so I first tried to play it by ear. The melody sounded then again in my mind having more acoustic orchestral elements, and then I thought about the idea of re-orchestrating it. I studied the recording you did in more detail (to try to reconstruct the piano), and I ended up adding some orchestral bits that seemed nice to me.

I used (virtually): a piano, an oboe,  bells, marching drums, some flutes I synthesized myself, two cellos, a string section in the background, a choir, and lots of programming for my electronic keyboards – starting from scratch.


A Greek In Vienna by Fivos Valachis (orchestrated by VDX)

This is a track about a super-brave super-hero bird in a cartoon set in the 80s :)

This track was created as an entry for One Synth Challenge (OSC) no. 176, October 2023, featuring the synth Wavetable from Socalabs.

ALL sounds coming from Socalabs' Wavetable, all patches created from scratch.
No custom wavetables were imported. Recorded live (for the most part).


Total of 17 Waveform instances:
- 6x for drums
- 11x for other sounds

Moody Piano

I had a few laughs with the Grand Master Jedi Yoda :), playing with some synths, in building a relaxing soundscape.
Should be different compared to the rest of my stuff.

EDIT: Turned vocals down a litttle

VDX feat. Yoda - You Won't Find It Outside

I hope you enjoy this, as I enjoyed making it.

The Strings Of A Briton

I've been meaning to develop this, but at this rate I'm never going to finish, so I'll post it in its current state.
This one is quite special to me :)

Message of Hope

This is my entry to the One Synth Challenge #91 hosted by KVR.
The challenge is to make a complete song using only u-he's free synth: TyrellN6

OSC 91

Gimme' Tyrell

A bunch of "failed" tracks: works in progress which never get finished.

Preview Of The Failed

It's not yet what I wanted... But I can't seem to find the time to finish it properly: it's too long and perhaps not mastered properly.

This is part of improving my acoustic guitar / voice emulation technique.

Voice Of The Mountains

Electric Guitars emulation (sort of), Choirs, Strings and some melodic ideas

Moving On

Played on a gray and cold day. 
Created to be used for KVR's Music Cafe: November Contest 2019

Main melody shot in one take, perhaps repetitive due to some unfilled inspiration tanks.

Lead based on a CS-80 type replica of a Vangelis sound.

Some flutes to fill the space and various Korg M1 sound FX in the background.

Some Choral color added and as well as some emulation of "analogue" bass.

Aging in Native America

Something a little bit weird. The organ and choirs... is ZynAddSubFX :)

VDX - Delayed

A one-shot burst from precisely a year ago. Distant, simple and spacey.

Fractured Laguna

Melodic Instrumental Rock
Playing with Electric Guitar "generators". Trying to take it more seriously. This is everything but my usual :)

I think I started with this one long ago. Finding hard time to finish stuff nowadays.

Vulnerable Rebellion

Hi. I'm VDX

I'm into electronics, microtechnology and programming. By coincidence, also a self-taught musician / composer / artist.


I often get inspired by Vangelis (would be a dream to be able to replicate his sound).  Rest in Peace, my dear Maestro!

I also get inspiration from Jean Michel Jarre, Alan Parsons, Enya.
