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

ALL sounds coming from Socalabs' Wavetable, all patches created from scratch.

J.S. Bach - Toccata and Fugue in D minor BWV 565

J.S. Bach - Toccata and Fugue in D min.

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

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.
