Music News – Merry Synthnmas Vol. 1

Something a little Christmasy and Vol 1 of my Synthmas Christmas IE synthesizer music with a Christmas twist. It’s an old album I made years ago and decided to release as a main album for Christmas. This year I did Vol 2, which is also up on all major platforms and is more synth stuff than this one as this one is a mixed-genre album but I’ll be posting that in the next week or two a little bit about the album so stay tuned for that. The twelve-track album is of Christmas carols and hymns which I picked as my favourite for this album. I enjoy Christmas carols in the church but I haven’t been for a while it gets me in the Christmas mood. I found the MIDI files online from various websites so shout out for the recordings.  The first track Three Kings is a synthy track which has a choir on the track and is one of my favourites on the album or though I could have made the choir a bit better but it’s okay I suppose. The track is from We Three Kings of Orient and is my favourite carol or at least one of them. I like to make a choir version one day maybe next year as next will be a winter album but I have a few releases up or to be released soon so look out for them. The next track another favourite on the album Holly and is from Holly And The Ivy another favourite and well-known Carol. The song has this 70s bass to it with a melodic melody to the carol and also it has this bright Harpsichord sound that I think makes the song. The next track The Good King is from Good King Wenceslas and another favourite Christmas carol and carol on the album as I like the 80s feel to it without it being too Synthwave but it’s a synthy house number it’s kind of chilled but upbeat at the same time and has this cool feel to it which I like quite a lot. The next track Hark The Herald is from Hark! The Herald Angels Sing and yet again another favourite on the album. I like the arp and the 80s bass it’s quite a chilled track and one of the chilled tracks on the album. It definitely reminds me of Christmas this one and is something I play quite a lot around Christmas time. The next track Ye Gentlemen is from God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen and is one of my favourite carols yet another one. A bit of a change for this one and is a Reggae-infused track which I also like to play around Christmas and is something different. The next track This Child is from What Child Is This and is a House track again something different and something a bit bassy and Christmasy another track that feels like Christmas probably cos I play it around Christmas and also on my radio Ghosting Radio every day from 8.00 PM – 12.00 AM, Monday to Friday and 6.00 PM – 12.00 AM, Saturday and Sunday from the 25th of November to 31st of December GMT every year. The next track Ye Faithful is from Come All Ye Faithful and is a relaxing track not one of my favourites in general and on the album but I do like it. It reminds me of New Year’s Eve and also Christmas as I think the synths make the track or though I think it’s so so but I do like it. The next track Noel is from First Noel and is yet again another favourite in general as in carols and also on the album. I like the synths and the bass which I think it goes together quite well and I like the bit that comes in the quarter a way in the track, it also reminds me of Christmas I think it’s got a nice Christmas feel to it. The next track Do You Hear What I Hear is from the carol Do You See What I See. It has yet another 80s bass with synth music and relaxing drums or generic but it goes with the synth stuff.  I like the follow-on patterns and the flute-like sound it makes it feel Christmasy but also funky. The next track Away In The Manger is from the carol Away In The Manger and is another funky favourite on the album. I made it a bit more upbeat and it has this Hip Hop feel which reminds me to do more Hip Hop sometime as I enjoy making it and haven’t made any for a while now. The next track Watch Their Flock is from Whilst Shepheards Watch Their Flock By Night and is another favourite carol and also on the album. I like the bass and the synth stuff which again makes it Christmasy and gets you in the mood for Christmas.  The last track Night Silent is from Silent Night and another favourite on the album and in general. I like the calm peaceful of it which I think is quite relaxing and again Christmasy for some reason it reminds me of Christmas Eve and also Boxing Day.
