The Challenge: "All Hallows Eve has come to an end, now is the time we start celebrating the Day of the Dead. I would like to propose a challenge that goes through 4 movements:
Introduction: As your life comes into fruition, your pallet is simple and slowly evolving. Consider setting the scene with soft, ambient sounds.
Celebration: As you move through life, there should be many reasons to celebrate, potentially using uplifting melodies and rhythms that evoke joy and life.
Reflection: As your body starts to move to the latter part of life, the lights starting to dwindle. Maybe a more somber section, ideas could be using minor keys and slower tempos.
Conclusion: You've walked your path and now is the time for reflection. All those faces that knew yours, are smiling and remembering, showing a life worth lived. There's cause to return to a celebratory feel, merging the past and present."
We used the Yamaha PSR-SX900 for all Latin percussion and background styles. The fist movement was done with the Moog One. Movements 2 and 3 were done with the Moog Muse. The final movement was done on the Moog Matriarch.
Effects included:
Valhalla Supermassive
Cherry Audio Galactic Reverb
Moog MF103S Phaser
Moog MF104S Delay

1:21 Celebration
2:38 Reflection

![A Bowl of Cherries: Noodling with Cherry Audio Software (Part 16). Trident Mk III and Wurlybird 140B
Number 16 in a series as we break away from traditional hardware synthesizers, and play around with a sampling of Soft-Synths made by Cherry Audio. In part 16, we try out 25 presets from the Cherry Audio Trident Mk III which combines the features of the Korg Trident Mk I and Mk II, and 15 from the Wurlybird 140B, which recreates the Wurlitzer 140B electric piano with additional effects. [We close with a MIDI rendition of All of Me which better represents the full sound of the Wurlybird played like a pianist vs my one handed synth playing.]
