The song was made in BIAB and then exported as midi and wave in multiple versions (same song, but exported more than once with different realtracks). Those where then imported to, and further re-arranged in, a DAW where outboard midi-synths were added. So the sounds are a mix of BIAB-audio and hardware midi-gear, but all midi are generated in BIAB (no 'manual playing', so to speak ) I used this so I could have instruments change during the song, to create mood-shifts, and also to do some layering of the sound to fatten some parts up (mostly drums). I also did some creative reversing of some guitar- and drum-parts for effects. So a good deal of work has gone into this song And the 2 vocals that are humming along to the melody are created in Yamaha's Vocaloid3 program (they just track the midi-melody from BIAB singing "Ahhs")
The video is from a local abandoned military-base, which is now a graffiti play-ground. The place has a bit of an urban-decay exploration feeling to it, as I think can be sensed in the video
There are also 2 crazy dogs doing cameos in the video "Herman" and "Emma". They didn't really care much about the graffiti though
GeleJazz (featuring ToneRion and Sonika) - "such a lovely morning"
The second one is a fluffy jazzy play-along kind of a thing I was rehearsing while recording on video. I didn't really mean to use it, but for some reason I just like the video a lot It's super-simple and naive and was only meant as a bit of fun keyboard-practice for me. The song-melody is not refined at all and isn't coherent transition-wise. But despite the obvious flaws and unfinished work-in-progress feel to it, it's still oddly pleasant I think
In the video you can more or less see BIAB play the song LIVE (you can see the black bar that moves through the arrangement window as the song plays) while I play the keyboard. As I said; it was just meant as a rehearsal recording, so it shows (very simplistically) what can be done LIVE with BIAB and a keyboard. I just recorded the output-audio as a stereo-track in one take (I think I EQed the track before exporting it as a video, but no editing or multi-track work was done on this. So basically a LIVE-recording in its nature)
The first one made me think 'this is a video game back set ready to go'. The music/imagery combination just had that feel for me (cool combination). You could probably market this as such if you got in front of the right people.

I do not work here, but the benefits are still awesome Make your sound your own!
These tunes are great! The first one has got a great beat and love what you did with the dogs "voices." Really nice production. The second video has got some great visuals I agree. Interesting as well to hear your process... thanks for sharing.
