This began as a proof of concept to do a full live mix seamlessly mixing between projects on the Deluge for what would constitute an hour long set. I ended up stepping backwards through 10 of my most recent projects and then up a couple after I'd reached down to my newest set... So, I went from 248-238, then 249-251. I was transitioning blindly in the sense that I didn't know what was coming next, which key it would be in, nor what level of intensity it would drop with. So, it was an experiment. One that, after several listens,…
Hi Friends! So, you may know that I'm involved in several music projects... One of the original projects I contribute to is a live and studio project with my brother Dave called Mystik Luminate. I've just posted a video edit I just finished of a live mix I did on the Akai Force for my Mystik Luminate project with my brother Dave (aka Luminate). We recorded the material over the New Year in 2022/3 down in Austin Texas during a family vacation. Unfortunately Dave got Covid and so we were recording in separate studios. This is a summary of the…
Hi Friends!We have a winner, folks! Check out the latest soundtrack audio below! Summer is finally upon us, here in California. Following up on our video game soundtrack project with Alien Science Games and the space exploration epic Starlight, here's the latest for you to enjoy! By mid-June, I had worked up a few further tightening rounds of revisions with the Starlight game audio concept and sent a revised soundtrack to Greg at Superframe. Greg is now over in Amsterdam, NL, working remotely and testing his bourgeoning suite of games with users across Europe. In addition to Starlight, he is…
Round One Concept Presentation Four primary approaches have evolved for first-round consideration. Artwork is unofficial. A. Starlight / Elevate Hybrid ("Elevate - Starlight Mix") v1.3 This is a bit of a hybrid concept track using some of the parts from Elevate. I also composed this one with a different buildup, including piano motifs which developed from some exploration in concept development. I quite like how it gives the song a bit of a theme, even with a traditional instrument, while also introducing and being supported by electronic elements. Heavily layered. Another theme shows up later in the track with some…
Initial guidance (From Alien Science Games) “For Starlight, I am looking for a soundtrack that I can release with the free demo, use for trailers and social posts, now and for the life of the game. From the beginning, I have been interested in having a contemporary electronic soundtrack, something with street cred. Not EDM exactly, I have tried that and it tends to take up too much of the foreground, but with the same feel.” Emotion Matrix: WANT: Exploration Contemporary / EDM Upbeat Electronic Enigmatic AVOID: Heavy / Apocalyptic Sad / Melancholy Arcade / 8-bit / retro Intense Re: Track…
