Winter Blooms

coplan — Mon, 19 May 2008 01:45:56 -0500

Another exploration into the world of electronica. I think I'm getting a little bit better, but I have a few interesting works in progress as well.

Created entirely within MadTracker 2.

Living, Again and Again (Marcus John Mix)

elblanco — Sat, 29 Mar 2008 23:12:17 -0500

Living, Again and Again (Marcus John Mix) 3:43 el blanco [fulcrum]

Dedicated to the spawn of my pal Bannor and his lady.

This is a complete remake of an old tune of mine, done up with a healthy dose of reFX's Slayer2 for rocking goodness.

Phoenix Swimming

coplan — Thu, 28 Feb 2008 20:01:06 -0600

Started working with MadTracker 2 lately. Most of the stuff I've produced hasn't amounted to very much, but occasionally something comes out of it. This is exploring my electronica style again. Hope you like it.

Fish Light

Fish Light el blanco [fulcrum] 5:32

After a bit of a lull and constant interruptions by real-life(TM), finally, another tune.

I really focused on VSTi usage in this one. Pretty much all the instruments (except for the drums) are VSTis.

I really enjoy using the Angular Momentum Additive Table Synth by Laif Oddson & Thomas Weber. Just love those delicious sounds it puts out. If only it didn't crash madtracker all the time! I mainly used some presets with a few minor tweaks.

The piano is Steinberg's "The Grand" run through MT2's flanger to make it fit in with the trance sound.

Accidental Ray of Sun (Piano Mix)

Accidental Ray of Sun (piano mix) el blanco [fulcrum] 5:08

I really liked the full mix of Accidental Ray of Sun. I also really like playing around with Steinberg's The Grand. I realized the song could be adapted to a piano only tune without much complication -- so I arranged it for the VSTi.

Turned out really nice.

Accidental Ray of Sun

elblanco — Fri, 05 Oct 2007 11:12:00 -0500

Accidental Ray of Sun el blanco [fulcrum] (4:05)

This is my second tune for fulcrum. This started off completely different, and rapidly turned into this as I messed around with the original 4 parts of the phrase/progression. I just kept tossing on and removing layers until I found something I really liked. Structurally it's pretty boring, the same thing over and over with new layers here and there, one key change up 3 half-steps, climax....then work it's way out.

Actually ended up rather nice in the end.

Blue Street

elblanco — Sat, 08 Sep 2007 11:02:00 -0500

Blue Street el blanco [fulcrum] a hair over 3 minutes (like 3:05)

This song has quite a few firsts for me. It's my first tune since joining [fulcrum], my first Mad Tracker 2 tune, and the first new song I've written in like...5 years.

It's a bit slow, but so am I now that I'm getting older. Enjoy.

Don't Fear the Reaper

psitron — Mon, 07 May 2007 10:00:20 -0500

It has been a year and a half in the making, this is my first song employing full vocals. That is partly why the song took so long; I had to wait until I had a good enough mic to record with. Honestly, though, I think it was worth the wait. Others have done electronically themed versions of this song, but I tried not to allow them to influence my version. I tried to take the elements I really liked from the original and turn them into my own personal taste.

Really, the meat and potatoes of the song had been finished for a while. I spent much of the other time trying to add detail to it and getting the mix right, as well as playing with the vocals. Part of me wanted to wait until I bought a nice tube-amp for the mic since I think it would have given the vocals even more warmth, but I really felt it was time.

Somebody (Depeche Mode Cover)

RangerRick — Thu, 07 Dec 2006 13:00:22 -0600

When I got married, I recorded a version of "Somebody" by Depeche Mode to be used during our first dance together at the reception.

It was my first successful attempt at doing something in Garage Band on my Mac, and I think it turned out pretty good. Other than my singing. ;)

Five Four

coplan — Sat, 25 Nov 2006 16:26:05 -0600

So I am finally able to get back to some of the songs that I should've finished a long time ago. It's been a long year, and this song has been a long time coming. I set out in April on a mission to complete a song with a 5/4 time signature. Well, I finally got it completed. And so I present to you: Five Four.

Stay tuned, as there are more projects of mine on the way.

Note: If you would like a higher quality version of this song, just send me a message and I'll get it to you.
