Worst case, if it's not approved, I can change a few notes in the melody to make it distinct. But it won't be quite the same.

And yeah, serene music is needed more than ever now.

Thank you! I'm trying to get approval to release a new extended version of Uncharted Worlds. I don't own the rights to it, so it's a process.. 😅

Just playing around and learning. But I AM gonna be working on a game, I think. We'll see how much time I can afford!

Hey fellow music makers (especially music producers who work with virtual drum kits a lot):

I own an Akai LPD8 mk2, and it's great, but I feel like 8 pads is not enough. Can anyone recommend a good 16+ pad MIDI controller? I'm considering the Akai MPD218, PreSonus Atom, & Novation Launchpad X. Tnx!

We're 7 months in and Trump and the oligarchs have completely seized control of the media. If you criticize them, your show will be pulled from the air.

This is what dictators do. Fascism isn't coming, it's here.

Synthwave has a lot of sub-genres, but retrowave is the one that speaks to my soul, so that'll be my focus. Why the alias? Mostly because it's a big departure from what I usually do, and it keeps things clean algorithmically.

I'm excited to see where this goes!

I know I said I was going to keep this new artist profile under wraps and let it grow organically on its own, but.. screw it. 😆

Meet my alter ego: V22X! link.v22x.fm/bio

The first single release, "Summer Nights," is coming September 26th! Hit the link above to pre-save it.

Spinning vibes from a parallel-universe 1980s.

Time to schedule the release of a new track. Electronic sub-genre options are always disappointing. Phonk? Check. Goa trance? Check. But synthpop, or synthwave? Nowhere to be found.

Learned enough Blender to make a cool splash animation for a new music project of mine.

Months later, I need to make some changes to it.

Forgot how to use Blender.

Fuck. 😆

The latest acquisition in reverb plugins for creating tasty synthwave vibes! Wave Alchemy Glow (RMX16 emulation) and Arturia Rev LX-24 (Lexicon 224 emulation).

Well, I learned how to use FMOD Studio. That wasn't so bad.. and a ton of fun!

Side note: it's interesting that so many of the huge 80s bands with hits in the US were English. As a kid growing up in the 80s, I didn't even realize it. I just liked a song, I taped it off the radio and listened to it to death. 😄 I should look at the 80s billboard charts from the US/UK and compare

Sam Hulick @samhulick.com · Jul 29

That explains it! 😄

Sam Hulick @samhulick.com · Jul 29

How did I miss that song?? Maybe because I wasn't a T'Pau fan except for their obvious hit.

I mean, it's definitely not their best. Let's just say I listened to the original (which I'd never heard before) and it made me go 😬

Another example of a cover that's way way better than the original. Daaaang!
