The Grid, a collaborative effort

Posted by maxxpump - August 28th, 2017


Our new song which we made over three days, is called "The Grid", it was first scored on a Korg Oasys, then it had all parts recorded and controlled through Cubase 9. We used pretty much every VSTi I had available, including Vanguard, Hypnotic Dance, Kontakt 5, Eighty Eight 2, Hydra, Peraxis, Predator 2. A majority of the strings were from the Oasys, and we also used the Korg Triton for deep bass sounds. The Guitar was Strawberry by Evolution, and I used all custom sounds for synth bass on Vanguard. As Fireball01e said in his post this song is inspired by Daft Punk's Tron, especially the song called "The Grid". This was recorded mainly over three days as technically we could have done it over a day and a day for mixing, but we have so many other projects going it was a question of time. I really like the resulting song we made and I think it sounds pretty epically amazing, as the orchestral sections fit amazingly perfectly. Even though it uses the same chord structure throughout there's still enough variation to keep you going throughout the track. We had to chop quite a lot out of the track as it was going to be over ten minutes long, but we got it down to around six minutes in total. I like to thank our good friend J lynch, who helped me score this piece, and had the mind to state that we should change genre throughout the song, as its got a very cinematic feel to it with a bit of rock and some EDM styles in there for good measure. http://www.newgrounds.com/audio/listen/762743

My next song that I'm currently producing is called "The Pied Piano Project", I've gone back to making instrumentals as obviously my singing's so hit and miss, some of it listening to it back now is quite frankly embarrising. So I will just put out stuff like that which I've sat on for a week and had a real chance to perfect it through practice. "The Pied Piano" is a song I made about two years ago, just on piano, so I will need a chance to relearn it. At the moment it kind of reminds me of the sound track to "Worms", but it really isn't. 

I'm also working on a piece called "Alone" which is based on a Travelling Wilbury's song called "Your not alone anymore" which stars the vocals by Roy Orbinson, which has an absolutely fantastic vocal. I'm not sure how I'm going to go about doing the track yet, ass the Wilbury's songs are very technical and a bit over my head, mainly as I don't own a guitar, so can't get the rythem i'm really after, but I'll work something out.
