TL;DR: it's got percussion in it.
I had an idea for percussion-heavy song: that I found tough to articulate because it's not a usual thing for me. More practice required.
I dialled back the bpm as the percussion became (even more) a wall of…

This started out from some sound design doodlery. A couple of the synths I've been using have some non-standard routing options, so I've been getting better acquainted. They're not modular, though the Reason hosted stuff does have visible, virtual…

I sold my upright piano earlier this year: it had been underused for a while and my head's been buried in the DAW for a long time. So played arpeggios into DAW instead. Then quantised them within a inch of their lives. More doodles with the Backbone…

Ditty with jangles, bass and celloish thing (all Halion) and plenty of triplets. [Drum sounds from Groove Agent; edited using the new Drum Pattern editor. New for Cubase that is ... but every other DAW has had for 20 years, I suspect.] Vocal synths…

Hmm. The trigger was to use a random Wikipedia page [via https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Random ] -- it gave me a 1990s Brazilian film I'd never heard of. Although it sparked a song, the verses that more obviously related to the film got…

I'd been recommended some free plug-ins for DAWs. One of these plug-ins emulated synths from yesteryear that were bizarrely nostalgia inducing. Which led me down a path to a sort-of retro style song. It's possibly anachronistic: I didn't check…

Not _entirely_ sure where this came from, probably the muted trumpet sound, that's only possible to play in the wearing-a-black-turtle-neck style. Other motifs followed suit.
'Tis mainly from Cubase Halion sounds ... Reason double bass, and…

TL;DR: this is a synth-pop track about being true to yourself.
For the last couple of days of January, I'd been listening to Pete Shelley's "Homosapien"¹, on repeat, like a deranged teenager. The idea was to overdose on a song I liked, so that…

Looking down at the scars

There's a beauty
In the broken life I see

Glory in your flawed story
Scratch the surface

Roll up your sleeves

This song had been a "fragment" for a couple of years -- a state the befalls many an aspiring melodic doodle, sound design or chord cadence.
This time, the glockenspiel melody that formed the initial draft had another iterative polish, together…

If I'm being kind to myself, I'll say that I wrote this in a "through-composed" style. Truth is it probably required another verse etc., to nudge the song's story along and provide some semblance of structure. Instead, I was enjoying myself adding…

I don't sing many songs: this one's a duet with Sarah, who _can_ hold a note.

Within the holographic display of the Generation Ship, this was the first dream that they programmed. It would repeat and echo itself across an infinite number of simulated lifetimes, adding some tender warmth to the Great Sleep.

At first, all the cogs and gears worked gracefully. Those hibernated on the Generation Ship lived happily under the watchful eye of its holographic array, in a state of simulated bliss.

Over millennia, the Generation Ship passed through the light of thousands of suns. Its sheathing was designed to protect its delicate equipment and sensitive cargo from the hazards of the Dangerous Space.

Under the holographic array, those hibernated experienced one lifetime after another, fueled by the seeds of the Root Dream. The Root Dream danced with their own memories from a dead planet, and spawned a plethora of evolving child dreams. Each…

The city hums a quiet tune,
