ccMixter (remix)

Youth is wasted on the young

George Bernard Shaw

I heard this a bit more vintagey in my head, so went and did that.

Samhein:

With Halloween in the air, this is a hommage to the fest it is derived from. Samhein was celbrated by the old celtic people and was later transformed in Halloween and All Souls. A lot about this on wiki if you are interested.

When busy with this i stumbled upon RizKeyG’s AON samples and managed to use them in this track. Was nice to use the samples cause one of my first albums was the album that featured Beatbox (diversion one) and Close to the Edit which both have these drums. I never succeeded in synthzising these, and i am glad someone did! So many thanks to RizKeyG!

For this track, i re engineered a lot of Sylenth1 sounds into Vital presets, which when i have enough of them, i will publish. Sylenth1 is still a payed softsynth while Vital is freeware and can easily do the same job in most cases, only the freeware version comes with a lack of nice presets, which for me is not realy a problem, but some people i spoke with, tend not to try it out cause of that. Daw used is Reaper, with Reverb and Delay channel from Reason plugins and Master channel has EQ, basslane, reaxcomp, and fabfilter Pro-L2.

Narated with my own voice, cause i would not use AI for it. When someone with a better narating voice wants to do them for me, be my guest!

Lyrics:

when the leaves turn all kind of colors

harvest is done, summer is ending

people cather around

for the fest of Samhein

the veil is thin

this time of year

maybe see some ancesters

or even fairies

call all your friends family and others

cause in the darkest hour

we gather round

and light the bonfire

Thanks to Speck, Martijn de Boer, and Javolenus.

What if you chopped up part of a mix and randomly sequenced it?

This track is available to license.

Having heard Admiral Bob’s Iustus Es, I was reminded of a similar piece I had in my Gregorian chants library from years ago.

That sparked an idea!

With a little pitch matching and a few tempo tweaks, I managed to blend the two versions together.

Experimenting with the arrangement, adding a deep drone bass, male vocal drones, strings, synth parts, and drums.

It was a real pleasure bringing these elements together and seeing how the two versions could complement each other.

I certainly had a lot of fun with this one!

Again. I got drawn to this pell by MalreDeszik. A bit of nip and tuck on this one to fit the vibe but Great Vocal

Forest of Dreams - Featuring Queenie

One of the most beautiful voices here on ccmixter. When i started here on ccmixter this was the first accapella i ever used in a track and working with modern Daws was also new for me. This is for me a retake on the track i made back in the days, but now with more skills and knowledge of the programs and music as a whole.

Uplifting Vocal Trance track, 135 BPM, i hope you enjoy it.

Stems are available

Just adding some rhythmic electro elements from Dreamonizer’s Big World to Javolenus’ Return of the Paladin (intact).

Additional (odditional?) drums uploaded as well.

Thanks to:

Martijn de Boer - bass

Javolenus - guitar

Mr_Yesterday - drums

Jans Music - drums
