Fractal Synaptic Bliss (9-2-2018) https://soundcloud.com/lawrence-olivier/fractal-synaptic-blissFractal Animation Video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F8bPw-OU3hIFor full emersion I recommend watching a Fractal Animation while listening. (Mute the soundtrack on the video.) I had three goals in mind when I sat down to compose something. 1 compose an instrumental on the keyboard: All the sections of the song, except the piano section, were written around the bass lines that I wrote on my Korg. 2 incorporate BIAB where possible: I was able to not only use BIAB to assist me with the Key and Chord arrangements but to my delight I stumbled upon that wonderful New Age piano part. 3 play some guitar in the composition myself: As much as I wanted to play, once I mixed in Brent Mason’s Pop Promise electric guitar there was no looking back. The title came from my discovery of Fractal Animation on YouTube in the middle of writing this music. If you listen to the song and watch almost any of the Fractal animations that you can find on YouTube, you would think I wrote the music for the animation. There will be moments when the two sync up almost magically. Realtracks: 1604 fiddle, 2158 Elc Rhythm Gtr, 2203 Elc Soloist PopPromise Brent Midi supertrack: 2063 Piano NewAge

I liked it! You should make a video with those fractals synced to your music.

A terrific musical piece, Lawrence.
Ear candy. Nice textures. Good pace. Excellent mix. A great listen.

Wow - I really liked this! I'm getting some major video game soundtrack vibes on this. The groove is fantastic, and I love how all the instruments meld together. It has an almost "electric" energy to it, if you will. You should be proud of this one - thanks for sharing
Cheers, Deryk

Love it! At about 0:15 to 0:25 reminded me of Gary Numan. Nicely arranged.

Fantastic work gruverider! Very psychedelic vibe to this and immersive with the visuals. Love the intro, and the transitions between sections are smooth as silk. Great work!
Cheers, Joe

Very psychedelic trip, lots of things happening on the way to the synaptic bliss. I like especially the funky parts and the synth landscape break. And the solo guitar is excellent addition.

Lawrence,
So many layers to this one!
I could listen to a whole album of this - extremely cool feel and vibe.

Hello, Lawrence
A terrific musical piece, as floyd said. The melody played with overdriven guitar and the chord progression are splendid. And the really nice use of Midi supertrack: 2063 Piano NewAge. Super sound, over all! Enjoyed my listen a lot.
Best regards.

Wonderful musical experiment/experience! What a unique way to use BIAB! You're right, your composition fits perfectly with the fractal video..both have almost no repeats, lots of changes in mood, texture, layers, etc. I'm amazed that you can get this kind of sound/contribution out of BIAB!

Wow, cool! We followed your advice and played your track as an accompaniment to the fractal video and it just fitted right in. This is a very professional music production BTW, very different from your other songs. Great video too!

PHAT Korg bass. I didn't watch the vid - I'm too easily sucked into the void. Definitely a trip.

I liked it! You should make a video with those fractals synced to your music. Thank you Josef. I looked into how to make a fractal animation and all I can say is it is extremely difficult. It is math and art at a level I don't think I could do. A terrific musical piece, Lawrence.

fj Thank you for listening and for the kind comments Floyd. Wow - I really liked this! I'm getting some major video game soundtrack vibes on this.

At first we were concerned about syncing the beginning of the vid and the audio but quickly realized that it doesn't matter. And that makes it even more fascinating. This is so dramatically different from your years of posts that it's hard to review w/o the gruverider reference The composition and production is waaaay above our musical and production pay grades but we found it fun to watch and listen to. Rich textured productions have always had my admiration but I couldn't imagine trying to mix that. It sounds amazing on the monitors. Bass sounds super. So...where do you go from here? J&B

Yes, terrific, but the visual detracts from it. the music is fractal on it's own.

Today (April 5) is National Flash Drive Day!
Did you know... not only can you download your Band-in-a-Box® Pro, MegaPAK, or PlusPAK purchase - you can also choose to add a flash drive backup copy with the installation files for only $15? It even comes with a Band-in-a-Box® keychain!
For the larger Band-in-a-Box® packages (UltraPAK, UltraPAK+, Audiophile Edition), the hard drive backup copy is available for only $25. This will include a preinstalled and ready to use program, along with your installation files.
Backup copies are offered during the checkout process on our website.

Handy flash drive tip: Always try plugging in a USB device the wrong way first? If your flash drive (or other USB plug) doesn't have a symbol to indicate which way is up, look for the side with a seam on the metal connector (it only has a line across one side) - that's the side that either faces down or to the left, depending on your port placement.
