Dreaming of Flight Remix
Back when I was a kid, my folks took us to Disneyland in Florida. I am not much of a theme park person and little about the park interested me. But there was one memorable occasion during lunch in one of the cafeterias. Nestled in the back corner was a musician called Mr. Electronic. He sat in front of a whole slew of synthesizers, which in those times were analog behemoths. He did demonstrations with the synths and I was completely blown away. I fell in love with the sound. I have wanted to play them ever since.
This song is my tribute to him. This is a mellow, ambient piece that starts of easy and progresses to a warm voluminous sound that washes over you like a summer breeze.
This was composed on my M-Audio PK88. All but the drums were performed and recorded live on the Korg K25 M1 and the Cakewalk Dimension LE Soft Synth. The drums are sample loops. The new Dimension Synth is awesome. Has an incredibly full sound and long wave PCM. Recorded in Cakewalk Sonar 6, mixed, and drum looped in Steinberg Sequel.
This is a remix of Dreaming of Flight. This song incorporates changes suggested by some other musicians over at the Cakewalk forums.
1. I added a new melodic verse in two places to break up the song a bit as it was a slightly repetitive.
2. I fixed the timings in two places near the beginning that cause things to go a bit out of synch.
3. I toned down some of the secondary distortions in a few synth effects that were a bit distracting and depending on the listening media (such as head phones) were a bit painful.
Overall I think this is a much improved version.
