The Dark Side

Story line at bottom.

BiaB style = Celine 1 - Acoustic Guitar Ambie
Tempo - 40 BPM

I am playing the lead via my keyboard controller. - sound = Ultra Analog VA3 - preset - five circles

The BiaB tracks are verbatim.
Bass - Ultra Analog VA3 - preset - Warp Room
Drums - Presonus Impact XT - preset - Future Retro
Piano - Synthmaster - preset - AT Message From Mars KS
Guitar - Ultra Analog VA3 - preset - Acid Head
Strings - Synthmaster One - preset - VOC Ruta Sound

The only effect I added was some compression on the drums.

Mario, you are at it once again.

Very imaginative piece that kept me tuned in.

I detected hints of Monkees' "Star Collector" but much more well thought out.

I enjoyed this "farce"!

Mario,
Sounds like the soundtrack to a swampy threatening sci-fi scene ...oh ok, now I`ve read your description- its better than mine!
Love the warp control bass thing and the mood of this.

Ominous!

Something for the film sync libraries I would think.

Hope it doesn't work into dreams this evening smile

Cool listen!

Thanx so much for listening and commenting. I wasn't sure how people would react to this as it is way different then most of my stuff.

I'm glad that you liked it.

Thanx Robert. I think this song would work in a swamp monster 1956 B movie!

Very cool!

I started listening and immediately thought about a movie soundtrack, then I read your Dark side story line. Perfect fit!

Good stuff, Mario!

Well done

Mario, that reminds me a lot of the kind of music you used to hear in a DR.Who programme from the 60s & 70s THAT was clever and fun

Mario,
a different tune smile I know you kind of referenced it to SW, but to me it rang a different bell. There were a couple of video games in 1980s one called Golden Axe and Altered Beast (same Japanese maker). Both had unusually dark melodies. If they were to do re-makes of these, your Dark Side would fit nicely. Thank you for sharing.

Misha.

I did comment earlier but it seems it didn't take.
This needs a cool 8bit vid and perhaps some clips from John Carpenter films...REALLY good fun.


Cheers

Very nice 'Jarre' mood, enjoyable selection of instruments, I especially like the bass and the vocal sound.

Band-in-a-Box® 2024 Review: 4.75 out of 5 Stars!

If you're looking for a in-depth review of the newest Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows version, you'll definitely find it with Sound-Guy's latest review, Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows Review: Incredible new capabilities to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs.

A few excerpts:
"The Tracks view is possibly the single most powerful addition in 2024 and opens up a new way to edit and generate accompaniments. Combined with the new MultiPicker Library Window, it makes BIAB nearly perfect as an 'intelligent' composer/arranger program."

"MIDI SuperTracks partial generation showing six variations – each time the section is generated it can be instantly auditioned, re-generated or backed out to a previous generation – and you can do this with any track type. This is MAJOR! This takes musical experimentation and honing an arrangement to a new level, and faster than ever."

"Band in a Box continues to be an expansive musical tool-set for both novice and experienced musicians to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs, as well as an extensive educational resource. It is huge, with hundreds of functions, more than any one person is likely to ever use. Yet, so is any DAW that I have used. BIAB can do some things that no DAW does, and this year BIAB has more DAW-like functions than ever."
