It moves! I finally made it work!
Another lit beacon in the ocean...
This is the next installment in my "skyworld" music series, and the last time I will call it that outright, I have decided to rename the project "Welkin", after much deliberation. Too many similar names out there in very close categories.
The video was made mainly in after effects! I know, its super weird,
but I made it work using a combination of Cinema 4D Lite, MagicaVoxel, GIMP, FLstudio and blender. I was experimenting with ways to make it more animated, and one curiosity lead to another. Here we are months later.
Both the track and the video was a learning process, but mostly the animation. I hit many walls and had to find a lot of workarounds for problems I did not know I would have. But I managed to figure it out in the end. The 3d objects are projected onto 2d animation calculating for 3d space.
Now that I know how to do this better it will take way less time in the future.
Hope you like it!

![Toil [Industrial/Breakbeat Music]](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/QIHZ6yCYSrk/hqdefault.jpg "Toil [Industrial/Breakbeat Music]
Some dusty industrial break-beat, reminiscent of 90s Sega music!
I wanted to try something different with this one. I dont want to get stuck in composing habits. The mastering methods, the sampling, and the way I made the synths, are different and more ground up than what I usually do. Some of it is live modulation too. It could be better, but I sort of like the imperfections. They grew on me.
Ive been trying to get this particular style right several times before. first time as
far back as in 2007. I feel this is the closest yet.
Hope you dig ~

Ive been working on-and-off for months with this thing. I put so many hours into the track in total.
I tried to take it in many different directions, some more effective than others (learning a lot in the process). But I am happy with the result, at last.
I suspect its one of those tracks that might grow on you, as a lot of stuff happens throughout the 4 minutes. Enjoy ~

![Jungle Driver [Trance Music]](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/RbJ3NZ8vT2w/hqdefault.jpg "Jungle Driver [Trance Music]
Had a lot of fun making this! It started off as more purely trance music, but once I started adding live drums it went more into the jungle / asian vibes and I just went with it, even went a bit of psycho breaks there at the end. I have been adding to this over the past few weeks, and now I consider it done. I think I went too far in the direction of obsessing over online penalties the past year, and it has been affecting the masters as of late. I tried to not worry too much about the loudness numbers after penalties and clipping etc this time around and instead going more by how it actually sounds like in my preferred headset, like I used to. Enjoy!
