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.
