Stellar Lounge

"Stellar Lounge"
For quite some time I've been planning to try to create kind of a synthwave-like track. So without further ado, please join me on a trip through intergalactic spaces to the "Stellar Lounge"!
Made and played by the undersigned in the autumn & winter of 2024. Recorded in Cubase Pro with significant help from iZotope Neutron 4. Mastered in iZotope Ozone 11. The cover art is a picture of my Yamaha U1 piano, blended with a picture of northern lights (picture taken by me in the Finnish Lapland).
I used VST instruments including, but not limited to the following:
- Rhodes Chroma VST by Cherry Audio (melody and lead lines),
- Native Instruments Electric Keys Diamond,
- Rhodes Anthology (Rhodes Mark V electric piano),
- UVI Soul Drums,
- UVI ultra mini & Arturia Mini V4 (Minimoog bass sound),
- Native Instruments Session Guitarist - Electric Mint,
- UVI Beatbox Anthology 2 (LDrum-Shaker),
- UVI PX memories (Memorymoog kind of pad sound),
- UVI FMX-8 (electric tines),
- UVI JP Legacy, Saturn-4 (lead Sax sound, cf. Roland Jupiter 4) and
- Arturia Analog Lab Pro (lead sounds).
I also want to take this opportunity to wish you all a pleasant holiday season!

I Just Can't Live Without You (Demo v1)

Переглядів 413 місяці тому

A short demo song made on September 5, 2024, still under development, e.g. lacking a second verse, bridge and modulation etc. Since the name "Never Gonna Give You Up" is already taken I have to think of another one:) One possible alternative could be "I Just Can't Live Without You". This tune came into my mind when thinking about the chords and progressions in my earlier song "Peace". This was ...

Going Home

Moods 'n Waves

"Moods 'n Waves" They say different moods come in waves, and that was something I had in mind when making this song! Also if you listen carefully, you may recognize a familiar sound or two:) I used two virtual instruments here: the synth lead, bass and the keyboard all come from Arturia Mini-V (emulating the ever-so-lovely classic Minimoog synthesizer), and the drum track was made with the EG P...

"Jamming w/ Jazz Bass" A little excercise that I finished the other day.

Played by me using sounds from different VST instrument collections (Rhodes V8 Pro electric piano, Native Instruments Komplete Now collection & Ab...

"It's Hopeful Time Again" (v2, 2023) A new version and arrangement of my earlier song, a.k.a. ”It’s Xmas Time Again”.

The main keyboard sound here is from the Yamaha Montage 8 (the great and ever so lovely...

Peace (solo piano)

A short improvised tune played by me with my old loyal companion Korg SGProX digital stage piano as a master keyboard, using an old lovely retro style Grand Piano sound from Keyscape (Yamaha C7, preset "Vinyl"). (Edited the track a little bit on Sunday, November 12, 2023; e.g. changed the last note:) This song is dedicated to the one who knows it. I know this is a short one but I'm not a traine...

Chilly Morning

"Chilly Morning" Lately, the nights have been really cold and in the morning, the grass and rooftops are all covered with frost. It’s beautiful… and chilly. So I was working on a song and at some stage I came to think that this name would suit the song! This was played by me using my old Korg digital stage piano as a master keyboard and the following instruments: - Piano/EP layer: Keyscape (Yam...

Dino Steps

Переглядів 58Рік тому

"Dino Steps" Here is a song which - despite it being played in minor key - was originally meant to tell a story of a celebration! You see, I recently got a chance to get a new electric piano sound library and especially a new lovely Dyno Rhodes sound which I so dearly love and which I believe to have been listening to all my life on countless of records and songs. So, I sat down, started to pla...
