I make a song using only one synth (Roland SH-101). I have to use it for drums, basses, leads, pads, etc. I added some vocals at the end, but that's the only thing that isn't from the SH-101. It was snowing outside so I decided to turn this into a Christmas song. Stay tuned til the end to hear the final song. #onesynthchallenge

Great song! Man, I love that Roland filter. Still my favorite analog filter of all time. It doesn't matter what synth model, Roland just has that smooth, dripping sound. Anyway, love your opening up with the vocal takes. I didn't know you were originally from the mean streets of Detroit! That was hilarious. Now that you quit the pesky day job for awhile, you need to focus on an album to put up on Bandcamp or similar sight for sale. You have serious musical chops. This song was very impressive and you were just messing around. I would love to hear what happens when you really dive deep.

@onceuponasynth
@onceuponasynth 5 лет назад
@@charliesimon7595 it's never too late. Think of it this way, it takes a lifetime to master the instrument, and even then you probably can't truly master it, so everyone is always learning and growing, no matter how much experience they have. So there's no finite end goal, just an endless process. So it doesn't matter when you start, just means you'll be slightly behind some people, and maybe even slightly ahead others, but comparing yourself to the progress of others is kind of pointless. So just learn as much as you can and keep learning, and make sure you love it! Sorry for the long post, don't mean to sound like I'm on a high horse or anything, I'm still very much in a learning phase and I feel like I haven't even started compared to some folks, but I love it so regardless of progress I'll just keep learning til I die (or til I lose my hands in a freak accident *knocks on wood*).

I miss you, coatseller, come back. Hope everything is ok with you. I love your videos and your music. Your album sun helped me a lot during one of the worst moments of my chronic depression. I would play it on repeat all day and always made me smile. The song river, specially, since my best friend calls me river, (word play with my name Oliver, that I turned into Old River) felt like it was being directed at me somehow. I also love your personality and how you can seem so calm and collected but then comes out this unexpected, unpredictable personality full of charm that comes from knowing that’s just you without a filter, unmasked which is another thing I relate to in your videos.
