It would certainly speed up music making especially with CPU hungry virtual synths but I cope with my old laptop. Maybe I shall upgrade in time as ideas come into my head faster than my laptop can keep up with.
Seeing Philip's father come back to music has been one of my favourite things to see. I love seeing someone later into life still continue to find new joy in old hobbies, and it helps the music is so unique too. Philip helping him along with this is wholesome.
Caboosing came together quickly as a result of one chord and the bender wheel. The steam train chuffs are an SH101 sound using just white noise and envelopes used to together with and part of the drum track. Pitch changes added interest. It took me under two days from start to finish. Some tracks are like that. It is my Marmite track. People seem to love it or hate it.
@@Steventhedreamer Amazing job on that track. I'm sure everyone who has ever messed around with a synthesizer has tried to play a chord while using the pitch-bend wheel, but seamlessly integrating that sort of sound into a composition is just incredible!
It's really heartwarming seeing you two bond over making music. You both make really nice tunes that have their own style. Music was one of my dad's passions, and I've only gotten into it in more recent years. I wish I could have bonded with him the way you two do :)
Deep in Thought took months to make and was my first attempt at using Cubase and modern technology. I had an early version of Cubase on my Atari 1040STE many years ago in the early 80s but never used it instead preferring mixer and tape recordings. I wish I had started then but better late than never.
I really need to give his albums a proper listen. All the ones you use in your videos are all so unique and I absolutely love them and inspire me to try to make music again. Keep up the good work Steven!
Had a lot of fun listening through the tracks, they have a certain vibe to them! I think it’s wonderful to be so productive with a hobby, wish I could do the same!! Kudos!!
Sometimes in life it pays to be different and not follow the herd. In life a sense of humour and fun helps you to get through, especially in difficult times. I like to make people smile.
So cool to see the collaboration between father and son! The music in your videos has always been great, little did I know that it was so close to your home. Cabooses FTW!
It would be cliche to call this video wholesome, but it is the truth. Definitely going to check out Steven's more recent tracks, I don't think I've had the chance yet.
I think the best way to truly appreciate how much effort it takes to create something, is to attempt to create something by yourself within the same medium.
Gotta check out these albums, i listen to Deep in Thought and From my Imagination all the time and love them. Huge respect for your dad for making music at his age and for sharing his creations with all of us
I'm late to the party here, but reading Steventhedreamer's replies to the comments here it makes me happy to see him talking about how Philip has been a big part of inspiring him to start making music. About 2 years ago Philip posted a video on Deep in thought, and the both Philip and Steventhedreamer inspired me to make something of my own. So I started learning the tools, and after months of work, in December 2022 I put out my first three tracks out to the world. They're not amazing, they don't have more than a handful of listens, but I am proud of them. So thank you both so much for inspiring me to learn something new, and make something I am proud of.
I just want to say to Steven that at the moment he is the soundtrack to my life, whether that be walking around a city or the woods, driving down the A1, or shopping. Thank you for doing what you love!
I listen to a lot of IDM, especially Squarepusher and Aphex Twin, and spot a lot of similarities between those and your music. I’m interested to know if any IDM artists have influenced the tracks you and your dad make. I’m asking to dispel the thoughts I have that it could just be a coincidence and your only influence is that it sounds good, lol.
The music ideas just come into my head and I play and record them. I am bound to be influenced by music I have heard over the years but I do not consciously copy any music.
I did sell a few years ago but don't paint these days. My music has taken over all my spare time. Creativity can be in many forms. Now for me it is music.
I am not a showman despite the American motorcycle policeman's leather outfit in the picture and as shown on the Wingwalker cover picture which outfit has seen many hundreds of miles on big BSA twins.
If you gift you dad a new laptop the universe may explode from his musical output being sped up
Or he'll reject it. A proper chad move.

It is all thanks to Philip that I am making music again and releasing it for the world to hear. Thanks Philip.
@@Steventhedreamer ❤
This music sounds awesome, I love caboosing it has such a interesting theme to it that other music can't really capture.
caboosing ftw

Always appreciate Mr. Steventhedreamer's music.
Thank you both.
Thank you for listening to my music. It encourages me to make more.
Your dad shaped my life with his music in my younger years. The fact that he is releasing more and more now makes me very very happy!
Thank you for such a lovely comment
So glad your dad started making music again, he is such a good composer.
Thank you but I don't know where the ideas for tracks come from. They just come into my head as I play on the keyboard. Maybe I am being helped.
@@Steventhedreamer why wont you just buy a new laptop?
I like your dad, he reminds me of my dad, I miss him playing the synthesizer
I hope to carry on playing and sharing my music for many years to come.
thank you so much for saying this, by the way, his name too was Steve, but his alter ego was Stray like a stray cat @@Steventhedreamer
It's really heartwarming seeing you two bond over making music. You both make really nice tunes that have their own style.
Music was one of my dad's passions, and I've only gotten into it in more recent years. I wish I could have bonded with him the way you two do :)
Thank you for such a lovely comment. I am fortunate to have such a kind, helpful, honourable and encouraging son.
your dad replying to most of the comments under this video is very sweet i just hope people aren’t rude to him like they are to you sometimes
Thankfully, I think there's a lot less of that on this channel since it's smaller and isn't really related to counterstrike as much.
If people bother to comment they deserve a reply
I appreciate your thoughts though Reganomix.
@@Steventhedreamer i suppose that’s fair enough
i hope you get to share these experiences with your future (current?) kids the way he gets to share it with you
A nice thought
I really loved deep in thought
Deep in Thought took months to make and was my first attempt at using Cubase and modern technology. I had an early version of Cubase on my Atari 1040STE many years ago in the early 80s but never used it instead preferring mixer and tape recordings.

@@SteventhedreamerYou did a fantastic job! Props for trying something new.

Thank you vekst. It is worth finding time to make music. It is so satisfying when it all comes together and works.
You're such a talented and creative family and that's so cool! I like the music a lot! :)
Four albums in one year? Your Dad is prolific
I just love making music.
The ideas for new tracks come into my head faster than I can make them.
Had a lot of fun listening through the tracks, they have a certain vibe to them! I think it’s wonderful to be so productive with a hobby, wish I could do the same!! Kudos!!
Hello Catzzye. Thank you for your positive support as always.
I find your dad wonderfully eccentric, I still can't get over the "My dad follows you!" during your whole Burger40 segment a few months ago.
Sometimes in life it pays to be different and not follow the herd. In life a sense of humour and fun helps you to get through, especially in difficult times. I like to make people smile.
2:46 so your dad is literally Bill Gates
I have been mistaken for him

Those paintings are lit af, love the clashing aesthetics
I think the best way to truly appreciate how much effort it takes to create something, is to attempt to create something by yourself within the same medium.
I spend maybe 4 hours a day almost every day making music. It is pure creative pleasure for me.
its so lovely to hear you talk the world about ur ol' pops
Enough of the ol pops! This is Steventhedreamer.....young for ever.
have been listening to his music (and yours) day in day out lately
Thank you. More to come.
Gotta check out these albums, i listen to Deep in Thought and From my Imagination all the time and love them. Huge respect for your dad for making music at his age and for sharing his creations with all of us
I am surprised and overwhelmed by the many positive comments on here. Thank you.
The mind needn't age if it is spending hours a day actively making music.
this is so wholesome

i always wondered where your wonderful soundtrack came from
Thank you for your positive comment about my music. I always surprises and pleases me how my music is appreciated by a new generation
Wistful Winds made my new year this year. I was in my hometown hotel, ill, with temperature, and I had all my life to think of...
Get this man a new laptop! He deserves it!
thanks for sharing

It's so lovely ur dad is making music again
So lovely to get so many positive comments here
I am thoroughly enjoying it especially when I read all the appreciative comments here today.
@@Steventhedreamer I'm really happy to hear that!! :)
klik
Thank you Noah, very cool!
2kliks even.
Please keep loudly caboosing us at random times in the video. It’s becoming a hilarious inside joke lol
I imagine your father making futuristic music, but on hardware that was deemed futuristic in the 80s
Yes you are right but I still like to twiddle real knobs.
There Is A Future sister album cover incident of 2023 XD
Thumbnail has Tom of Finland energy lol
I can't wait to hear his music in a new CS2 music kit
I wish but I don't think they would allow a second kit from Philip and myself unless there was an overwhelming demand.
Much respect to your dad! Great to see someone keep a hobby going for so long and still be so dedicated to it.
I plan on making music for many more years
It is good to have a positive outlet in music for my creative feelings. I am pleased to be able to share my music with so many people
you both make great music
Thank you Reinhardt3090
That green painting your dad did is pretty cool, does he sell art too?
I did sell a few years ago but don't paint these days. My music has taken over all my spare time. Creativity can be in many forms. Now for me it is music.
Is Steven more of a goofy person or a serious one? The pictures suggest both :D
I love the music so much. me and my friend used the music kit with his songs in csgo (and now in cs2)
I am glad it enhances the game for you.
ggwp steven
I didn't know your dad made music
you have some homework to do now that you know
Yes he does....every day
almost jumped out of my chair when you mentioned tubular bells. one of my favorite albums of all time.
What is on tubular bells?
bells that are tubular, thats basically the entire album is one long track. ruclips.net/video/bv_4sZCLlr0/видео.html @@therealvbw
Cornwall mentioned! when will your dad do a gig in our great county?
Yes I live in Cornwall. I love Cornwall.
I am not a showman despite the American motorcycle policeman's leather outfit in the picture and as shown on the Wingwalker cover picture which outfit has seen many hundreds of miles on big BSA twins.
I had no idea you've made music videos
Wow I forgot wingwalker was released in 2023
your dad seems cool
You are never too old to be cool
@@Steventhedreamer heck yeah
Why doesn't RUclips suggest your videos anymore? I am subscribed to all your channels but I don't see them on my feed.
Mp3 player??? Thanks for this tho
"my sister generated the image for" your sister is a generative AI?
CABOOSING
Could we ever see Odgrub in Elden Ring?
Do you ever collaborate on songs? I feel like music is one of those creative activities where working with others is really hard/weird
We did discuss the possibility but at the moment we are both too busy to give it a try.
His music got recommended to me on Spotify 😊
How did He get all this music on Spotify? As far as i found Out, i have to pay a Label.
Is that true?
What software does he uses?
Cubasis 9.5 on laptop and Cubase 12 on pc
Fantastic, Underworld uses cubase too@@Steventhedreamer
Which MP3 player do you use?
I just play music on my phone with studio headphones
I wanna collab with your dad pls
I am flattered by the offer but I work best locked away in my room free from the distractions of modern life. Try it. You might surprise yourself
I have only one question... What sort of bike does your dad ride? 😆
I sold my BSA 650Super Rocket last year.
@@Steventhedreamer Thanks for all the wonderful music throughout the years :-)
Damn, that's a cool bike! Any plans to replace it with something?
man, does your young dad looks like bill clinton or not?
Bill Gates I am told
@@Steventhedreamer YEAH! I thought of gates and typed Clinton.
Cute
I have been called cool but this is the first time I have been called cute! Thank you (I think) Mounchy3800.
