It kinda all started with a simple little synth bass sequence on the OB-X and then just kinda fucking around with the Fairlight and DX7. Kinda went for that Top Gun sorta sound using a blend of real orchestral sounds and synths with reverb on almost everything.

But while you guys wait for that, here's something I cooked up — an 80's cover of Really Useful Engine. I'm honestly surprised why I didn't tackle this one. I went for a sound similar to that of A-ha, with a good use of the Juno and ya know the PPG and the DX7 and a beautifully processed and programmed LinnDrum. The lead sound I drew from "Head Over Heels" by Tears For Fears on the Jupiter... oh and the saxophone solo which was so common in 80's pop songs! Hope you guys enjoy!

I continuously wanted to drop the project as I couldn't find a particular sound I liked. I eventually landed on something similar to Who Wants To Live Forever and Nothing's Gonna Stop Us Now by Starship, using mostly digital synths and samplers. I also ditched using the LinnDrum and LM-1 in favor of the Simmons kits and the Linn 9000 which would be typical of that later 80s.

#thomasandfriends #80thanniversary #thomasthetankengineThe Busy Station Theme (Synth Cover)The Art Of Ash2025-05-28 | This only took 2 hours to complete. I wanted to experiment with what sounds I had, because I only have so many sounds to work with. I went for a sort of sound that was similar to "I Would Die 4 U" by Prince. I loved how he programmed and processed the LM-1 in that song and with that arpeggiated bass sound from the Memorymoog, so I went with something that mimics that. I quite like it. I think I can safely say this is the best my drum sounds have ever sounded.
I'll probably try the Watermill Theme next.

Like, I can imagine since the show's budget got bigger, and if they kept the synth aesthetic, they'd probably have something like a DX7 maybe a Prophet or an OB-Xa or maybe even a Fairlight.
I mostly used the CS-80 because the ring modulator is great for spooky sound effects, especially for horror when you manipulate the pitch and I used a vocoder for more spooky, ghostly pad sort of sounds. The String sounds were done on an OB-X, and the other synth sounds were on the Jupiter.

Peace! #thomasthetankengine #thomasandfriends #thomasthemeNight Train Sing-along (80s Style Synth Remix) | Thomas The Tank Engine And FriendsThe Art Of Ash2024-12-20 | So, I had this in mind since I made the Post Train Theme from last year. But I wasn't really sure how to tackle it until I just came to the conclusion it doesn't have to be a 100% recreation in its arrangement. I left out the viola arpeggio as I felt there was already enough in the verse so everything isn't shrouded or lost in the mix. I knew a big unison synth lead was the way to go as well instead of a horn sound as that was much brighter and the portamento gives it that bite with the articulation. I also thought that a use of digital synths would fit as they have a glassier sound than analog synths.

I look back and realize that THIS very guy was the guy that got me into music when I first heard his song "Imagine", I fell in love and soon that became the first song I learned how to play on piano. Ever since Imagine, I felt inspired by Lennon's dedication to not only music but to spread the word of peace.
This video is an improved instrumental by me as a tribute to him... you might remember some tunes.TED THE CATHOLIC PRIEST ENGINE AND FRIENDS | Thomas The Tank Engine and Father Ted Theme MASHUPThe Art Of Ash2024-10-20 | "There's a railway network on Craggy Island?"The Viaduct Theme (Chillwave/Synthwave Remix)The Art Of Ash2024-08-13 | This was something I had in the back of my mind, but I had no idea how to execute. Until now. So I just started with a drum pattern, and then the pads, then the leads and the bass. I also love the Tom Sawyer growl bass there as well, it's one of my favorite synth sounds. Should I do a 1 hour version of this ? Let me know.

#thomasandfriends #supermarioHenrys Forest Ending Theme, but if it was composed by Vangelis | Thomas The Tank Engine and FriendsThe Art Of Ash2024-05-24 | Vangelis (In case you don't know, composed the Theme for Chariots of Fire, and did the soundtrack for Blade Runner) is my favourite composer of all time. So I wanted to pay a little tribute to him with....uh... this.
This is just a little experiment I did just to test if the music from Thomas could be done in the style of Vangelis' music.

I love those strings in particular.
If Youtube copyright claims this, this speaks volumes.

I do like the original Delia Derbyshire theme, and I quite like the Keff McCulloh version from 1987. But Howell's version is definitely my favourite.
So, I recently got the Cherry Audio VST of the CS-80 and I just knew I has to do the Doctor Who theme from 1980 so, seven weeks later....here we are!!!
#doctorwhoThe Viaduct/Repairs Theme (Series 2)The Art Of Ash2023-11-19 | I love this theme. So, I've learnt how to use synthesizers and I just knew I had to recreate this theme from S2. those strings really go hard, man. Peace ☮️☮️💗💗
