Magical Musical Melodies

By Devieus on January 31, 2018 7:36 pm

My my. So I made this melodic mishmash in Magix' most malicious Music Maker, it's mighty maddeningly monstrous to maintain and miserable to manipulate due to its many, many mismanaged markings and missing mandatory modules; it kinda sucks.

Although it does come with some pretty instruments and I can get better with practice. But that's something for the future. Also the DAW is actually really bad at exporting, so I have to record the output manually. Try the new/improved version here.

Super neat instrument diversity. I should add different instruments to my songs one of these days

the monk-like chant with the gameboy-ish sounds is not a combo I ever expected to hear, this one keeps you on your toes

It's probably the part I like most.

Yeah the chant part was cool and unexpected.  I dig it!

yeah, that got me too!

WOW, that was great! That unexpected transitions between parts provoked a strong emotional response within me. I listened, I laughed.

The piano was pretty dope too in my opinion, though it's just piano after all.

Sometimes the best transitions are no transitions at all.

That was neat. smile Music Maker sounds like something not fun to use tongue

It's alright, just a little unwieldy. It's a lot more restricted than LMMS I normally use.

what a weird trip this was!

i'm imagining this is what Yes would have sounded like if they played together when all starting their instruments

You're not wrong, a new DAW is just like that.

ha, I love your description.

I feel like I am walking through a museum and it takes me to a park in Paris, a concert hall for a piano performance, a cathedral, and then to a "What Will Music Sound Like In The Future" exhibit!

If you put it that way, I feel bad for not adding better transitions.
Also future music is a nice target to go for.

Very cool these magical musical melodies varied almost like a time warp of classical music battles.  Bach rocking it on the ivories btw! Nice work!

Baroque madness! Alliterative madness. ::)

Wow! That transition into the choral part was unexpected! There's so much in this track. I really dig your experimentation with different instruments and their normal bedfellows.

A mysterious mash of musical material most meticulously manufactured.

Weird and wonderful, with some surprising twists and turns!

Madness is two songs back actually.

You're going to love what I'm going to do in two weeks, maybe.

Quite a delight alright.

It's quite the mishmash. It honestly didn't go as I planned it out, but that's MMM for you I guess.

I was completely sold when the choir came in. Other than that, you really kept me intrigued through the track, obviously because of the different instruments you used. You seem very diverse in what you can do, I like that!

I have many skills, music is just one of them.
