Another go at the 59sec YouTube vertical SHORT format for a music comic. The soundtrack waveform vertically, with start at top, the playbar moving down the screen, and the comic happening in front of that.
I had been making music and comics like this about once a week for a few months, until the OBon Holidays. Got sick after them, and took a few weeks to recover, and then more to recover my MOJO.
I put an earlier version on YouTube where it got some 51 views in 20 hours, and expect it will get few more.
It looks like YouTube turned off showing it to anyone after the initial hour.
I made a few small changes after that 1st version to make the one above. Nothing that would make deleting the first and reloading this one worth it though.
It is Ibanez RG 6 string DROP C#, Ugritone "Drums Against Humanity", Cabinet IR, Squire JBASS with humbucking Wilde Pickups, SURGE XT vst in REAPER DAW. Animation made in MOHO Pro 12. The "digital dust" floating down the screen was done with a particle system in combination with a few binary text strings.
I edited down the music to make this 59seconds.
The streaming companies all seem to be a scam, when you look into it. Benn Jordan has more than a few X posts and videos about the main Streaming Services and their mode of operating with the major Record labels. Benn getting all his Spotify tracks deleted without warning, for no reason in just one thing showing none of the companies aren't on the level.
Have now put 2 versions of Digital Dust on Bandcamp as an album. The 59sec animation version and Digital Dust Extended 3:20. Naming the tracks Digital Dust will most likely prove to be very appropriate. 😀 The cover has a version of the cartoon on it too. Without any kind of following, which I don't have (and any I do have is related to my cartooning or what I did at Fairlight Instruments Pty Ltd in the 1980s), no one but a few friends will bother to play any music I put out, and mention on my Social Media.
Have, for the first time, made this a Creative Commons, Attribution, Share Alike, to allow remixing. A download link to the STEMS .ZIP file is in the Bandcamp Album description.
What are STEMS? They are a collection of wave files, each all the same length, starting at the same time, that are all the tracks in my project rendered out. Delay and Reverb are on their own separate tracks too. So if you load them all into a DAW, and play, you get a version on the track I released, except all the instruments haven't been panned. If you mute Delay and Reverb, and add your own sends to the tracks, you can make a completely different mix. The track is 4/4 at 130BPM.
Trying to combine the JINGLE (music for advertising, short, simple, remember able), Synthesizer with METAL INSTRUMENTAL. It isn't a rock/ pop song structure. It was started to do a 59sec music comic, so wasn't planned as a "song".
This one ends up being a little too simple, a little too repetitive, but does it have to be that way? Generally add more parts as time goes on, but this is a very sparse VAN HALEN, guitar panned left, mix.
There is always the next one to work that out on.
Or someone's remix derived from it will be amazing. We will see.
