O.K., I guess I keep reposting this episode but I had to change the last song once again, (just the beginning), but I figured I should redo this description while I'm at it.
Six songs this time, a synth song inspired by early John Foxx "Metamatic" sound, a funk song with some wah-wah and a very necessary flute solo, and a really sloppy Avengers theme that I slapped together late at night after watching several episodes on BBC America. I kind of went for a live sloppy version just to see what a mellotron/moog version of the song sounds like. It became less technopop sounding the more instruments I added, but it's just for fun so I didn't go back and try to fix it up very much.
The synth song has mellotron (high notes), korg (bell sounds), and moog (low notes). The korg and moog were recorded "live" through the computer mike, so you might here some background noise like cars going by....
The next two songs are just experiments I tried to get the levels of the moog (same as the one in the picture) to match the software instruments.
Songs four and five are a bit messy and the vocal is awful on Flight Plan, but I liked the sound of some of the instruments.
Finally, I put on a remix of the eighties synth song with a more Gary Numan-sounding synth overdubbed from my computer that sounds a bit like an Arp. It's less minimal than the first version but you can compare them and decide which you prefer (if you like either...which depends on your need to hear a song that pays tribute to early eighties synth tunes.)
