Neon soaked synthesized dreams of a past never lived.
[Synthwave/Electronic] • this face is but a mask - JAMES SPYDER
[Sad Robots] out everywhere 21 June 2024.
The goofy idea and cover art for [SHIT A BRICK!] turned into a bit of a concept EP about what happens when robots get sad. Yes, it's a bit silly.
Wanted to make a dreamy, floaty and a slightly odd track to close out [SAD ROBOTS]. Trying to capture the mood of an android realising it's an artificial being and taking the mask off (ref:Blade Runner replicants).

[Sad Robots] out everywhere 21 June 2024. The goofy idea and cover art for [SHIT A BRICK!] turned into a bit of a concept EP about what happens when robots get sad. Yes, it's a bit silly. With this one, I wanted to set a bit of a threatening atmosphere, trying to capture the vibe of a robot when it realises The First Law (can't hurt or allow humans to be hurt) is no longer in effect.

[Sad Robots] out everywhere 21 June 2024. The goofy idea and cover art for [SHIT A BRICK!] turned into a bit of a concept EP about what happens when robots get sad. Yes, it's a bit silly. Wanted a bit of a palette cleanser following the [Hollow Knight] covers. Started with the bouncy bassline for the verse and built from there. Ended up as a companion track to [SHIT A BRICK] after a bit of conc...

Cover of "Hornet" by Christopher Larkin from the Hollow Knight soundtrack. I started work on this last year, shortly after [Old Stories]. Figured out the vibe of the thing early on, but ended up getting distracted by other endeavours (see: 2023 releases). I did want to close it off, so a few evenings spent working it out, I present the finished product! I wanted to lean into the driving nature ...

Cover of "Dirtmouth" by Christopher Larkin from the Hollow Knight soundtrack. Felt like making a second track to go with [Hornet] and the melancholy of the Dirtmouth theme seemed a good balance. Fairly straightforward - layered synths to mimic the original arrangement with a bit of processing to crust it all up. [Dirtmouth & Hornet] released 29th March on all platforms. Find my music at: Spotif...

[Sad Robots] out everywhere 21 June 2024. The goofy idea and cover art for [SHIT A BRICK!] turned into a bit of a concept EP about what happens when robots get sad. Yes, it's a bit silly. So I sat down to have a play around in C# Dorian a couple of weeks ago and wrote up the 'A Chorus' chord progression. A bit of layering, choice of evocative synths and I was certain that the track was coming t...

Neon Dream - out 19 January 2024 on all platforms! So the inspiration for the album's title track is a bit goofy - I sat down early November with the aim to write a song that was "brooding and dark as all get out" to close the album out with. I put together a minor A.F. progression in A minor with big basses and borderline Dungeon Synth sounding chords over the top. Even with the original goal ...

Neon Dream - out 19 January 2024 on all platforms! So, for something a bit different, got inspired to use/mangle the La Folia chord progression for the verse after watching the David Bennet Piano video on the subject. Using that as a starting point, I built up song structure - including the 4 bar pre-chorus to give a taste for the bridge. I also wanted the whole song to have the feeling of cont...

Neon Dream - out 19 January 2024 on all platforms! Another 2015 idea given new life 8 years on. Was originally inspired by Hermitude - Ukiyo; a radio station was running a remix competition and I thought I'd have a crack. Didn't end up doing a remix (cause I had no idea what I was doing lmao) but working over the top of the original inspired the main melody for [FORTRESS]. This one ended up a "...

Neon Dream - out 19 January 2024 on all platforms! Re-mix/master of [Dark Night] - realised that the earlier release wouldn't sonically fit with the rest of the album. After working on a few covers earlier in 2023 (go check them out btw) I sat down in June to work on an original track. A bit of noodling in B resulted in the chorus bassline and I took my basic music theory knowledge to build the...

Neon Dream - out 19 January 2024 on all platforms! Re-mix/master of [Cool Cats] - realised that the earlier release wouldn't fit with the rest of the album. Originally written as just the opening section at the end of 2015 and filed away for a later date. The later date came in the middle of 2023 where the idea was worked into the full song. Save everything, delete nothing! Find my music at: Sp...

Neon Dream - out 19 January 2024 on all platforms! Early October, opened Cubase to play around and make some music. Came up with the arpeggiated progression with the simple little melody over the top. Wanted to do more with it, so that turned into [Awakening] but felt that this served as a short opener to the album. Added the drums to tie it into [Cool Cats v1.1] and badda bing, badda boom! Fin...

Neon Dream - out 19 January 2024 on all platforms! [Awakening], the second part to [ersatz]. I wanted to do more with the idea presented in [ersatz]. Set myself a song writing challenge with this one too; I knew that I wanted to build the song up over multiple sections, adding layers and keeping the core of the track the same. Hence, the same bassline plays for the majority of the track. Find m...
Eyes of Irumyuui • [Made in Abyss Chilled Synthwave Cover] - JAMES SPYDER
Просмотров 8959 месяцев назад
Cover of "Eyes of Irumyuui" by Kevin Penkin from Made In Abyss Original Soundtrack 3. This track was a real treat to pull together - building everything up for the third repeat of the theme was extremely satisfying to arrive at. Finding the melody and harmony through the distortion was quite a challenge - and I've gone in a slightly different direction for the mid section as a result - but a go...

Two original songs in a month - must be on a sausage roll or something. Went through some old Cubase projects from 2015 and found the intro arpeggiated synth section. Picked that up - went with a straightforward A B C D type structure and bam - ended up with this. Enjoy! Why "Cool Cats"? The melody synth for the post bridge kinda sounds like meowing cats. Plus they have to be pretty cool for me...

Вааааааау звучит очень хорошо
Oh i really love old stories and this one really gives the feelings of it too goodjob on this 😤😖
Thank you! Glad to read you enjoyed it.
This music gives me some Half Life vibes, I like it.
Thank you, appreciate the comment!
Sounds nice, keep it going bro.
Thanks mate! I plan to.
It's a good work, sounds like melancholic space technology. and the artwork it's just perfect. 😎👌
Thanks mate! Exactly the vibe I was going for.
I dig it
I clicked on the anxious video thinking it was an electronic version of Trevor Something's music, and made me thrilled this beautiful melody, excellent work!😎💖😊
Thank you! I am aware of Trevor Something and have enjoyed his music occasionally, though I had no idea he had an album/song of the same name😬😂🙃
A big thank you to everyone who's stopped by to give this one a listen. It's been really encouraging to see the response to this one - I really do appreciate it! Out on all platforms for streaming and download 10th May. Currently working on a cover from the Baldur's Gate 3 soundtrack, then a 4 track EP building on [SHIT A BRICK!] and [Bots Don't Cry].
This is a bop and the cover art is really awesome!
Cheers mate! Glad you enjoyed! Full disclosure, the art is AI made - something I've got a long term plan to move away from. I decided to start using it as I didn't want a lack of art (or bad Paint art) to get in the way of making music.
Logical
this cover deserves far more views, beautifully done
This is sick, I really hope you get some more attention soon <3
Thanks wendigo, really appreciate the support over the last year!
Can you do pure vassel ost:○
this is so underrated, we need more people to know about you. seeing that you have only 64 subs is sad
Ah shucks, thanks mate! I'm making music for my own enjoyment but it's always awesome to hear that other people enjoy it so much.
Nice!
Thank you!
My god man, these covers have been just incredible. Can you do SEGUR or Reg and his Interference Unit?
Cheers mate, appreciate you taking the time to comment. As for another cover, I've got two Hollow Knight (when Silksong) covers I plan to finish up then I was looking for another cover to work on - let me cook.
@@jamesspyder take all the time you need 👍😎👍
this makes me happy to subscribe to you
Thank you! I appreciate it :)
Awesome man loved it 🔥
Thanks mate!
very good man keep woorking
Thank you for stopping by and checking this one out! My first full album, Neon Dream, is out on all platforms January 19. 🎉🎉🎉 After a bit of a break, I'll get back to work on some more covers. Thought I'd follow P5 Royal late last year with Baldur's Gate 3- both proving somewhat inspiring. Make sure you subscribe so you don't miss a single synth laced beat!
Old Stories is one of my favorite songs of all time. It's a joy to be able to listen to various versions of it. I really enjoyed this one.
Thank you! Appreciate you taking the time to check it out.
beautiful
Thank you! That's what I was aiming for :)
Hello everyone! Thank you for stopping in and checking this one out. I couldn't help myself and I've released this one here a week early. Out on all platforms 22nd September!
Phenomenal! Keep it up.
Thanks mate! I plan to.
Thank you to everyone who has taken the time to check this cover out. It feels great to be making music (albeit slowly) again and I'm so thankful that I can share it with other people. I've been busy working on my transcription skills over the last few weeks and wanted to have a go at another track from MiA now I've had a bit more practice. The track will be released 22nd September - hope you check it out!
great stuff man
Thanks!
This slaps so hard.
Thanks mate! Glad you enjoyed it.
Oh my god this is heaven. Thank you so much creating this. Loved it.
