Music created with U-he synths

[glokraw]

The video didn't play, maybe there are some tags required? That is a very top-gun looking sky and cloud bank. I hope the F22 missiles are never needed, but it's having them that makes the possibility of not needing them more likely. Tyrants and invaders don't like their targets being well armed.
Cheers

I put 2 songs in my music website. I believe the song on top ("Good Behavior") would interest you the most because it has ZebraHZ, Repro-5, some non-u-he synths, and plenty of Presswerk compression. Please tell me how you like the song, how it can be improved, and I will return the favor. Here is my link:

Hi,
does somebody have clues, which synths HZ was using for the DUNE 2 score?

[aaron aardvark]

I put 2 songs in my music website: “Trying To Create” (has Presswerk compression, Repro-5, Zebra-HZ, and Diva) is the song on top, and “Save Me From Myself2” (has Zebra) is the next song down. Both songs have some non-u-he synths. Please tell me how you like the music and how it can be improved, and I will return the favor if you wish! Here is my link:

I put 2 songs in my music website: ‘Bitter Stranger’ (it has ZebraHZ, RePro-5, and Presswerk compression) is the song on top, and ‘Space Martian-Boogie2’ (no u-he in that song) is the next song down. Please tell me how you like the music and how it can be improved, and I will return the favor. Here is my link:

Hi, in 'Bitter Stranger', I like the way the bass and synth start together, different tonalities, and on diverging paths that hold interest. I also like that you have around 6 sounds that are quite different from one another. The synth solo really soars, and the wah guitar is almost a light saber. Some good teamwork. The bassline sounds like it has some chorus, gives it a nice edge and depth. The guitar leads don't sound like preset territory. And some good advice in the lyrics

In 'Trying to Create' the bouncy, punchy, and subtle tinkly keyboard parts, tom rolls (with panning), and synth leads are all entertaining. The guitar parts are well done, and the vocal fills are a nice addition, they fit even though not fundamental in the overall soundscape, such creativity is much appreciated.

In 'Save Me From Myself2', the subtle volume dropouts are a nice effect. The gated tremolo on the keys and guitar works, and the synth tones, bends, echos and misc distortions keep things fresh. The timing on these songs is important, your parts don't last too long, and the transitions don't seem contrived. Like an arrangement of complete thoughts making a concise story.
Have a great week!
Cheers

glokraw,
Thank you for giving me 3 kind reviews of my music; I appreciate it! Now listening to "The Secret Escape of Wars": kind of reminds me of Tangerine Dream (a compliment); this would be good background music in a movie or TV show! Now listening to "Missing Friends": I try to stay in contact with my friends (one goes back to about 1962), but my married friends tend to remain distant when I try to contact them. The one friend I can really count on is single. Some of your sound effects remind me of Pink Floyd (a compliment). Cool song; would be good for a movie or TV show also. I needed that relaxing song, thank you!

[glokraw]

Very glad you enjoyed some music! I'm freshly surprised with your songs, the timing, blending, variety of sounds, and skilled performances remaining consistant in each release, is no easy task. I am reminded to pay closer attention to detail. Currently going back and removing 'musical anomalies', flubs, (subtle or otherwise), and headbangers I'll blame on sleep deprivation
It's all great fun. We're blessed with wonderful and complex tools that really deserve our best and improving efforts

The first 2 have only Hive 1.x synths (aside the guitar and some drum layers), the last one also has some Odin II syths in it.

Enjoy

Here's a new happy instrumental made with Hive2.1 Suitable for coffee breaks, nap time, moments when the algoridm is elusive, or just for watching the sun go down. (Had three great sunsets in a row to finish my vacation, inspiring some Hive time on the keys

(If you don't like the first 30 seconds, you also won't like the last 30 seconds

My newest song (by the length of a good night's sleep ) Seabirds Rising, also uses the great Hive 2. Yet another vacation inspired song, peaceful birds gliding swiftly in the updrafts of golden sunlight

A new song made with ZebraHZ, 'Point Of No Return' https://franklincheney.bandcamp.com/
(The top four at the link are singles, all the rest are collections)

(One might guess this is not cheery music, whereas the three previous singles may be. The cover photos and titles of the collections will be a clue as to the nature of the included songs, be it war, romance, happiness, or hardship...etc)
Cheers

I put 2 songs in my music website: "In Your Own Way" (has Zebra HZ, Diva, and plenty of Presswerk compression) is the song on top, and "East Meets West Again" (no u-he) is the second song down. Please tell me how you like the music and how it can be improved, and I will return the favor. Here is my link:

@Aaron the tonalities from 'In Your Own Way remind me of a live 4-man band video I saw, (Jackson Brown playing In The Shape Of A heart) The guitars and drums have a unifying sizzle and punchy rythm, just the right amount of reverb. I also like the extra percussion sounds not in standard kits.
Overall, modernizing classic rock with some fine synth parts is very cool. Would enjoy a longer synth barage at the end, the swell and arpeggiation are uncommon, and would make for an interesting 'extra'. As usual, the attention to detail is impressive

I got some demo tracks, does that count?
