New Musical Track: Weirder Things
🕑 Added 2017-02-08 15:37:45 +0000 UTC Greetings Patrons,The new musical track Weirder Things is either a shameless rip-off, or a sincere homage, you'll have to decide for yourselves. But know this! I grew up in the 80s. I went to middle school and high school in the 80s and I played D&D in the 80s, so I'm voting for homage!
Like many of you, the brilliant Netflix show, Stranger Things captivated me and brought me back to that decade in the best way. I wanted to write a 10 minute track that took the simple synth arpeggio that defines the original and just riff on it. I even got to work 'outside the box' for once, which means I used a few real live synths that I had to physically patch in to my computer (with cables!). Sorry about all the exclamation marks..
I did di a few iterations of this. One of them had bicycle sound effects running through it. Another had a Ronald Reagan speech in the middle, the one where he muses about an alien force invading earth so our countries would unite against a common foe (google it!). In the end I decided that a purely musical track would be more useful as a backdrop for whatever game you wanted to play.
This was a challenging (mix-wise) piece to produce but lots of fun as well. Hope you enjoy it.
Thank you all for your continuing support,
Tim
P.S. If you follow me on Twitter you may have heard that I had a minor studio disaster week. My Synology server, where I keep all my code and do my development work (yes it's backed up!) died suddenly. Luckily, I guessed that the problem was a faulty power supply and I ordered a replacement. I installed it yesterday and thankfully I'm back up and running. Since the last power supply worked 24/7 for 6 straight years I can't be anything less than pleased.

This is an older track, so it doesn't have alternate versions. You can download it directly from the website using the 'save' button.
