This is my entry for the tracked music compo at Revision 2013. Just like
last year, I didn't have a tune ready until a week before the actual
party. I recently... acquired some ethnic samples that I wanted to play
with, so I loaded a bunch of them into a new module, but that didn't
really get me started. So I jammed a bit on my D-50 until I found a usable
arpeggio that I could combine with these samples. From there, the tune
evolved pretty quickly, and I'm very happy with the end result. A really
nice piece of synthpop, if I may say so myself. I especially love the last
bit with the 80s synth lead and Fairlight Synth Vox. And I'm so happy
about the feedback I got from people at and after the party. :)
Which brings up another topic... My new Roland U-220! I got this cheap
1989 rompler, mostly because it enabled me to do a high-quality remake of
"Steelchambers2" (Pinball Fantasies intro tune), which uses a whole bunch
of samples from said rompler. It has quite a few D-50 sounds, but also a
few nice samples that I don't have on any of my other synths, so I used a
few of those for this tune as well!
Special thanks go to m0d for pre-listening and helping me with the song
end - without you, it would be rather boring. And thank you for turning up
at Revision without telling anyone, you evil troll. ;) That said, Revision
2013 was an awesome party, the tracked music compo was again of very high
quality, just like all the other compos. Fantastic releases, and so many
nice people to meet!
Synthpop's alive! Can't you hear it?
