Dreams of Seagulls - Shimmer (electronic pop)

Post by oscillator »

So, after an album with Dreamplane -- 80s synth pop -- I decided I was ready for a more advanced production.

Dreams of Seagulls is originally a project from last year, we made 12 tracks, using Reason. I had 2-3 tracks with new demo songs, and this is the first one that I have "transferred" to MusE (via a MIDI file). This is the demo with my voice, hopefully Kajsa will record it later on.

Produced with Libre software: GNU/Linux Debian, MusE, Surge, drumkv1, Audacity.

I hope you like it!

I made the video using PD clips from archive.org! :)

A very danceable beat. I particularly liked the drums in this one.

Your voice is not so bad. Good tonal qualities. Some voice lessons and exercises, I think. Maybe you should do a duet with Kajsa. :)

Thanks, that made me happy! Actually, me and Kajsa has done a duet. In Swedish. Not with open source tools...

That's a nice song. A very gentle acoustic arrangement. Is that you on guitar? And that sounds like a real harmonica.

Thanks! My friend Mats plays guitar and harmonica. We send WAVs to each other. He's great!
