A new take on an old song! Any mix comments? I've spend a lot of time on it and I feel like it's good overall but lack some low-mids, like some beat density or something?

This week I wanted to try making some soundtrack music to go in the background of a dystopian sci-fi film.

I wanted to try out using some hang samples. I only had a free demo version (20 minute usage limit) of a plugin for NI Kontakt, so I used that to create a loop.

I don't have any big sample libraries of good orchestral and film sounds, so I had to work with what I had. The free BBC Symphony Orchestra VST (Discover) is good, but I quickly found the limitations when I wanted to add some brass. There is almost no variations in sound and performance styles available in the free version, so I had to change tack a bit.

The title of the music is taken from Yevgeny Zamyatin's 1921 dystopian novel 'We' - a must read in my opinion!

I hope you enjoy the music! :]

I’m not really sure where I was going with this week’s entry. I just needed something cathartic. There’s so much uncertainty. Daily updates on a war. Astronauts braving reentry. Friends and their health problems. AI. I watch The Pitt to unwind and play Marathon to relax. That’s insane.

Study, practice, preparation, meditation - lofty ideals and worthy goals. Yet in the moment, all we really want is to scream through a tube.

Featuring didgeridoo, flute, clarinet, and tenor saxophone.

Sketched on MPC. Synths replaced in Ableton. Largely used Surge, open source synth. First time using it. It's really good. Very impressed.

I arranged this song to the video for Acid Rain by Lorn.

That was a freeing process. It felt like tracing. The structure was all there visually already.

I did run over past the end of the video quite a bit though. It's hard to be concise.

Another throwback tune with a faux acid line. I swear every synth and rompler around has an M1 house piano patch until you actually try to find one.

a whirlwind of a week, returning from the UK after a really great show, catching a cold, and dealing with some work grumblings. sorta annoyed the weekend was wasted by being a bit under the weather. ah well. this track was just a quick sketch in ableton using arturia acid v then ni maschine for the percussion and some other synth riffs. too long, but so it goes.

A bit strapped for time this week, but this sorta fell together nicely enough
