Schwinge mein Hertz, du süßer Ton (pseudo-hymn)

Post by SpotlightKid »

I was feeling rather pious this past weekend, so I put the rainbow strap on my keytar and wrote this little hymn to celebrate the resonating universe and the holy FM synthesis.

Composed and produced by Christopher Arndt in February 2023.

Recorded in Ardour 7 on Linux with a Yamaha Reface DX FM synthesizer and a Kurzweil PC3K into a MIDAS MR18 digital mixer and audio interface.

All sounds from the Reface DX, except bass drum and snares from PC3K.

Sounds used: "Flute DX" and "Organ Slow" by Tom Ansink , "RetroChoir" (modified) by Jeremy Mulders, "Dulciclone" and "Celesta C2" by me, "Basic Orch Perc" from PC3K factory presets.

Effects added in the DAW: reverb from "LSP Impulse Reverb Stereo" and Samplicity M7 "North Church" impulse response and from "DFZitaRev1" plugin, multi-band EQ and compression on master bus using "ZamAudio ZaMultiCompX2", and "Calf Saturator".

Inspired by a video from Alex Ball: "Dulcitone 1900 | Blessed are the music makers"

Share & Enjoy!

Chris

Hey, you should perform this is a church (free reverb) with that Keytar!

It is a very cute melody and the soundscape is very spacious -- hence my "church" commentary. :)

MusE DAW running on Debian 11 Testing/XFCE4.

Well, at least the photo I have on the soundcloud page for the track was made in a local church. Though I doubt they would let me play there ;)

The spacious sound was intentional, since it was supposed to sound like a hymn. I almost always use the LSP Impuls Reverb stereo plugin for my reverbs with the Samplicity Bricasti M7 impulse responses (just google them). They have excellent IRs for concert halls, churches, echo chambers and so on.
