Melodic Distortion

Melodic Distortion is a synergy synthscape of synth, drums and percussion. I started it by accident as I was making mixes for my Soundcloud page and this website when it came out all weird and mangled only one luckily and I managed to fix the problem but I had this idea of making a long soundscape or synthscape. I used a lot of plugins from Artuia and one from Roland I would have liked to add more synth stuff in there but I was worried about my CPU and I was recording at the time as I recorded the whole making of which can also be found on my YouTube Channel where I post frequent feel free to subscribe if you want. I do enjoy experimenting with sound and I have dedicated a few pages right here on my website which can be found in the main menu in Videos and Music Creations. I added more sounds to the hour-long file I had of the mangled audio, but I couldn’t resist making something out of it as I heard it playing it back and thinking I could use this for something and I’m glad I did now as I had so much fun making the audio and the visual which I did after making the audio. I always wanted to do a soundscape never thought about synthscape before but I always wanted to make something long and changes a lot and coming across this audio I made I found just the thing I hope to see if I can make another one following the steps I did when I was making the mixes. I hope it comes out the same as I do intend on doing another one soon as this turned out quite good and I enjoy listening to it and I hope you do too. I would describe the synth as a 70’s to early 80s synthscape throwback mixed with Hip Hop beats and lots of different patterns and twists and turns to keep you entertained for a while.  I am a bit of a synthesizer addict and I have quite a few plugins now some I use more than others but I do try and make use of all of them including the ones that I don’t really like but my favourite plugins are from Artuia the V Collection they are replicas of old synthesizer hardware including the Fairlight CMI one of the oldest synthesizers out there and used a lot by artists like Kate Bush. I also like Diva, Replica and Repro from U-He which are all out of bounds at the moment I swapped computers and can’t get them to work on my new computer but I will have to get in touch with them so I can start using them again as I do like the U-He products, especially Repro which is one of my favourites to use for synthy stuff but other stuff as well.  I like to experiment with sound and when I can be bothered I like to record sounds on my recorder and see what kind of patterns I can make and luckily I have a few filters which help with the job but I didn’t use one filter on this synthscape the parts that sounded like that came out like that already but I’m happy with it and didn’t mind the hours spent on it. Below are some fun things I put together including the making of the video and the actual final video itself. The making of videos is a bit long so you don’t have to watch them all but there are there if you want anyway enjoy.

Trial & Error – Session 1

TRIAL & ERROR - SESSION 1

This post is an experimental post all about the experimental music I made using a cassette player, Tascam and FL Studio. I recorded the samples onto the tape player and used the Tascam device to get the sounds from there. The sounds are from my holiday videos and were when I went to a place called Flambards, an amusement park in Lizard, Cornwall in 2017, and also I used a public information film from the 70s. I also used RX7 to clean the file up a bit. This is the start of a series I’m doing with all experimental tracks using the cassette player and more experimental fun and is me trying to make use of the cassette player as I still haven’t used it that much I mean a couple of times. I’ve done some experimental tracks in the past so I thought why not do more with doing the Baby Bot and everything, also I posted quite a few experimental tracks on SoundCloud recently as I noticed I’ve done quite a few in the past but this is all for my website but all the links are in the description. It’s not one of the main genres I do but I thought I make more but something different from the Baby Bot 3000 and make something out of it on my website which is what I’m doing.

FLIM FLAM

Here are the tape recordings of the samples I recorded onto the tape and are from my holiday videos when I went to Lizard Cornwall in 2017 and a place called Flambards, an amusement park.

Here are the samples after I cleaned them up I only used Fab Filter and I didn’t use any effects also the samples are a free download the link is at the bottom of the page to the final samples from both tracks. 

DEMO TRACK

Here’s the original track I got the samples from. I found them all on my computer and is a short intro to a track called Flam Bars off my holiday album Rebitten By The Lizard I made quite some time now and is now unreleased but all on SoundCloud home to all my unreleased stuff.

TAPE RECORDINGS

Here is what I recorded onto the tape and from the public information film which I think is called Dark And Lonely Water and is a PIF about the dangers of swimming in lakes and other water dangers. The other samples are from what I made ages ago and still have the samples of and some of my older track samples.

FINAL SAMPLES

Here are the final samples from what I recorded and that I Eqed and compressed not any effects on this one too I’m trying not to use the filters all the time as it will make it sound different.

DEMO TRACK

Here is the demo track I got the samples from and is an old track from my album called Unsafe Dummies the samples are from a public information film which I think is called Dark And Lonely Water and from the 70s.

22/03/2021 - New Album Release; Game Lounge - Vol. 2

The next instalment of Gaming Lounge from MIDI I found on the website Kingdom Hearts Insiders which is a good source for MIDI gaming music.  My favourites on the mini album are Ambience Aquatic, Marble Zone, Paper Round, Palace Gates, Honda and Cortex. which I used the MIDI and my synthesizers to rearrange the music into something a bit longer and different but keeping the same patterns from the MIDI files I found online. I picked my favourite gaming tracks from a wide range of consoles and arcade machines and the ones I learned and played a long time ago and I doubt I remember how to play them now. Music from the games Bubble Bobble, Mortal Kombat, Dynamite Dux, Sonic The Hedgehog 1, Rastan Saga and Tetris.

22/03/2021 - New Album Release; Game Lounge - Vol. 1

Looking back to yesteryear weren’t gaming music fun and catchy now it’s a bit boring but I still love my cinematic music but it doesn’t beat the old gaming music that weirdly enough got on my nerves but also loved at the same time. I have a few favorite I won’t name them but they are all in this mini-album that is of gaming songs but my own remixes of them which are electronic synthy vibes. When I was younger I used to play the piano and keyboard and learning gaming songs was one of the things I did in my spare time some were easier than some, and some you had to be quite nimble with the finger movements.  I arranged all the tracks myself and used MIDI for the tracks which I found online using MIDI converters to get the right flow of the track, it’s quite a task and I’d rather play them but it takes too long to memorize the keys but I was thinking I should do something like that like practice songs on my keyboard again as it’s good practice especially when the well is drying up and you are not playing at your best due to overplaying or underplaying. I once set off some gaming music to Rockstar who as you know made Grand Theft Auto before the first one was made but never got used and I also used to make up gaming music in my spare time when I wasn’t at school on my Casio keyboard which is why I sent off the tracks to variety of companies which it was always nerve-racking and something I always dreaded. Music from games Sonic The Hedgehog 1, Street Fighter 1, Paper Boy, Alex The Kidd, Mortal Kombat, Donkey Kong 1 and Crash Bandicoot 2.
