Instrumental. From the album "Anything from Something" on Bandcamp:-

The rest is Mix-it, Pexcels and Coverr, and a little from me.

Orbiting Io, By Patterns of Life
Просмотров 2421 день назад
Rowdy instrumental. This piece was picked for my next video project for two main reasons; I hadn't done a video of any of the 4 tracks on a Bandcamp Album I feel particularly proud of, and I finally remembered to check for royalty free video/ images for the project! All still images are from the Nasa website, and are of Io:- www.nasa.gov/images/ The rest is thanks to Pexcels, myself and Coverr....

Most of my music is on Bandcamp, you can listen for free (for a while):- patternsoflife.bandcamp.com/ One of my older songs (yes, with vocals); I fancied doing something a bit different for my next video, and this won. Always helps that you have an idea of what you want to do before you set off, the main thought was using some of my longer clips and slower cross-fades. I also wanted to use a co...
You Don't Know My Anxieties, By Patterns of Life
Просмотров 60Месяц назад
Uptempo Instrumental. This one started off from an old idea I hadn't written down correctly - I didn't have to start again but the original idea was unrecoverable. The main problem was lack of knowledge on a couple of synth sounds I intended, and that has a massive impact on melodic work etc. I only had about 4 bars of music written, with the wrong or no sounds... The thing I find best to do in...
1 versus the X, an Akai MPC discussion
Просмотров 766Месяц назад
A video missive/essay about adding an Akai MPC X to my studio after 2 years with an MPC1, (the studio run by an MPC2500 until the X purchase). Just a bit of a comparison, why the price difference and what my initial contact with the X has been like (after approx. 3 weeks of owning it). Some of my first tracks with the X are included here:- patternsoflife.bandcamp.com/album/uptempo-stuff And I a...
In a Lonely Club, by Patterns of Life

Quite funky Instrumental. Rather pleased with this one; written on the bed in the spare room! The studio was undergoing re-arrangement... The name came from the feel of the music; I didn't intend to do a video as the obvious thing to do is show an empty nightclub and stuff like that. I felt some of the AI generated images from a previous project suited, and also there's a snippet of AI generate...

A more gentle instrumental. The video is all AI images from me playing with the song title and words associated with my composition process, courtesy of www.craiyon.com/ I didn't mention robots however.... There are a lot more images, it was quite fun for an hour or so! I hope to you them in future videos but not as 100% of the footage like this one. The thumbnail is not AI, photography is also...
Live on An Island, by Patterns of Life

Instrumental about the emotions being on an Island, I love the West coast of Scotland, the Orkneys, Lindisfarne and many other islands around the UK which is, of course, a large island itself. Much as we love moaning and running ourselves down, the UK is a great place to live, especially when near the sea - I live about 5 miles from my nearest coastline. There are several music videos of mine i...
The Jury's Out, By Patterns of Life
Просмотров 822 месяца назад
Uptempo instrumental. This is essentially me just jamming over a drum/bass pattern I rather liked; I even got a little lazy and just transposed the bass sequence rather than playing new bits like I usually do. I added the percussion and organ sound to make more like a regular piece of music and all done! Very quick and great fun. If you enjoy it half as much as I did playing it I will be very p...

Released "early" as a thank you on reaching 100 subscribers today! THANK YOU!! An old, old, old song I'm still very proud of. It is from the days I played, recorded and sang live to stereo.

Cosmagasm, By Patterns of Life
Просмотров 363 месяца назад
Uptempo instrumental, possibly even a bit rowdy. This was an accidental video in that I was using it to learn how to use Shotcut, (a free video editing program), better - particularly the use of keyframes and liked where it all got to! www.shotcut.org/ It's a track from one of my Bandcamp album:- patternsoflife.bandcamp.com/album/anything-from-something

Witches Butter, by Patterns of Life
Просмотров 763 месяца назад
Instrumental. This started as an idea during a walk in a woods in Tennessee with a friend; doing a song arrangement around the lifecycle of Witches Butter. Most of the photos and video is from that Tennessee visit, but thanks go to Mix-it and Pexels for a couple of clips. I would have had more photos of Witches Butter but had a little bit of an accident.... I didn't know that Witches Butter eat...

An Instrumental collaboration between @maydonpoliris and myself. Our first to not feature any AE modular at all, more by accident than anything else. Maydon started with the bassline and we grew from there, mostly using the Akai MPC1. I did the final mix and Maydon created the video, hope you enjoy.

Instrumental, mostly uptempo and a it more lively than some of my more recent ones. This song was only completed a few days ago, and got the urge to do a video for it as the title created a few options.... The music actually started out not as a song idea, but just something I wanted to try with the bass, and it evolved into this. The video does a few things I've not done before, including usin...

    Interesting to hear your comparison of the 2. I guess having the same screen layout saves on maintaining 2 bits of software but I can't see that being a huge save for them on just a layout. I wonder if there is a zoom function or menu to change that I wonder?
