Saturday night An original (I hope) melody I came up with. Kind of a 50s/60s feel to it. I really like Bolder Sounds fiddle which I thought complemented the guitar well. Thanks for listening/commenting. I used midjourney to create the image on Sound Cloud. Hmm seems like the bass isn't loud enough, now that I've already posted it. Edit: I remixed the song with more bass. Ilya Efimov acoustic and electic gtr NI Picked acoustic RealGuitar Bolder sounds fiddle Trillian Addictive Drums

Very nice overall. I always listen for accompaniment bits so I really liked the little piano and organ riffs in there. Did you post in the old Cakewalk forum? Seems like I recall a FreeEarCandy from somewhere. -Bjorn

Thanks everyone for the comments. This was one of those songs that I listened to again after a few days and then think well maybe not so bad. Michael, thanks for the cdbaby info. Didn't know about that. And yeah that's me on Spotify. The movie audio snippets are public domain, at least to my knowledge. -Bjorn

Wow. Just wow. The lyrics express my sentiments exactly. I assume Tristan is your son? Did he write the lyrics? Since I do some video, I'm totally blown away with what you've done. Must have taken you many hours to put that together. Excellent! 42 is always the answer. -Bjorn

Look Into My Eyes Happy New Year Cakewalk friends! I haven't been able to break thru writer's block the last month or so. I keep trying though. Here's another synth project with a lot of pitch bendy arps and general off the wall sounds. I decided to insert snippets of dialog from cheesy old movies into the project which may or may not have been a good idea. Anyway, here it is. Thanks for listening/comments. -Bjorn Zebra HZ Trilian Omnisphere Diva Kontakt

Nothing to show but this brand new tattoo But it's a real beauty A Mexican cutie How it got here I haven't a clue -Jimmie Buffet Not a one liner I guess but it makes me smile every time I hear it.

I was going to let this one just drop out of sight because I didn't like it that much, but I do like the video. Nigel, Hidden S and Dream Art, Thanks for the comments.

Steve Great song in your signature style. I really like this one. -Bjorn

Very relaxing and new age-y. Really like the pitch bends at the beginning and at the end. I can relate to the amount of time put into a song. I usually have 3 or 4 song projects going at the same time. If I get tired or lose inspiration of one, then I go to another. -Bjorn

I like the chord changes which are a bit unexpected. I noticed a couple of stray piano notes 1:17 and 1:57 Very nice tune. -Bjorn

That's a really nice backing track. I think you'll come up with a decent tune by following the chord changes. -Bjorn

I think I know that guy. The minor chords fit the lyrics very well. Great accompaniment and guitar work. The only suggestion I can come up with is the song needs a chorus that really stands out. Good job on this one Lynn. -Bjorn

Love this! Simply wonderful. -Bjorn

Angel chimes The title comes from one of the vst patches I used. This started off as an antiwar statement then evolved to outer space stuff, then evolved to whatever category this is. There isn't a common thread throughout but interesting anyway IMO. I've learned some video tricks in DaVinci Resolve but haven't explored much beyond the basics. Thanks for watching/commenting. -Bjorn

Nigel, all around great production! Best video I've seen from you. Part one is the scorned woman revenge story and I think part two should be the "you don't know what you've got until it's gone" story. Been there, done that. -Bjorn

Freddy, I think this one is now my favorite song of yours. I really like the solo ~1:50 especially. -Bjorn

Great job on the remix! Enjoyed it. I have a bunch of old Cakewalk projects that I've tried to resurrect but I'd long ago sold the HW synths I had then. Still kicking myself for that. -Bjorn

Lovely piece and really nice hypnotic groove in the background. -Bjorn

Inventive score and well produced. NIce. -Bjorn

Tim, Very good orchestration of synths in this energetic song. Great job. -Bjorn

Wookie Yes, I did enjoy it. It has an expansive oceanic mood to it, sort of a Vangelis feel but definitely your style. Well done! -Bjorn

Really enjoyed this one! I read the title and knew exactly what it referred to. Nice how the lyrics match the video so well. -Bjorn

Jesse, I always listen to what you post but I don't comment that often because have to say I usually don't get it. I've been here long enough to just accept it as your style and let it go. You posted a video about a wishing well a while ago which I really liked. It surprised me how straight forward the story was since I hadn't seen that level of accessibility (if that's the right word) in your music. Guess I'm trying to say that less experimental and more of the tried and true traditional stuff will likely work out well for you toward a general audience if you're interested in doing that. -Bjorn

Steve, kind of weird sound at first but it certainly has a beauty of its own. Jesse, pretty cool description of your contemplative moment. Side note: you mentioned in another post the movie Carnival of Souls. Despite the cheap production and bad acting, that movie is one of the creepiest I've ever seen. Mark, I knew that the singing is usually done in a lower pitch but I took the liberty of raising it since it just sounded better to me with the synth accompaniment.

Tuvan Throat Singers Omnisphere has several patches featuring Tuvan throat singers which I used in this song in addition to a couple of Zebra vst presets. The Tuvan are nomadic people who live in Mongolia and Siberia. Tuvan throat singers have the ability to sing multiple notes at the same time. By manipulating the resonance of their vocal tract they can produce loud overtones that they form into actual melodies over a drone with their vocal cords. Might sound a little strange at first but you'll get into it. Thanks for listening/commenting. -Bjorn
