The Informal Synthetic OrchestraHere's a brief walk through the project for the Destiny piece I posted on my main channel (http://youtube.com/dummeh) today. Apologies it's a bit equivalent-of-a-shakey-cam towards the end. I'm investigating easier ways to present stuff like this visually.

Enjoy!The oldest piece of music I still haveThe Informal Synthetic Orchestra2015-07-12 | A lot of people ask 'what was the first piece of music you ever made?'. Unfortunately it's so long ago that I don't remember, and it's unlikely I have it stored anywhere as it was probably on tape on my ZX Spectrum.
This may not be the first piece of music I wrote, but it's the oldest piece of mine that I still have in my archives. This is the theme I wrote for 'Pugso', a game I made at least 22 years ago on my Atari ST.More cheese, Gromit?!?!The Informal Synthetic Orchestra2015-06-29 | Because Birdy song is totes 2008.
