11/09/2024 - New Album; Horror One-Liners

This year’s Halloween album and this one comes in two parts the other album is a remix album of this one. I made quite a lot of stuff for Halloween this year including something to do with this album and the remix album I made. It all can be found on both my websites this website gasnolight.co.uk and my other site randomgas.com but it’s mostly on this site so for those who are subscribed to my mailing list you will get an email from me next month it’s scheduled for the 1st of October so hopefully you will get the email then or I’ll have to do it manually. This eight-track synth album is of horror film one-liners and I picked eight at random and put a lot of synths, FXs and drums behind it.  I haven’t watched a film let alone a horror film in quite a while tell a lie I watched one around 2021 when I watched Banana Split which was a horror remake of a 1960s kid’s TV program that went bust so they sold the rights away and they made the movie. It’s a good movie if you like creepy mascots and a whole lot of blood and gore I liked it anyway but I might watch some more horror films over Halloween and get into the spooky mood. The first track Freaks Accepted is from the film Freaks and is one of my favourite horror movies to watch as I’m really interested in Freak Circus, especially the old ones. I remember watching it first on the Horror channel which is a free channel on the Freeview box but I like the realness of it. The first track and is going to be a repetitive theme in this post but it’s dark and scary. I used the Arp from one of my synths from Arturia’s V Collection which I used the V Collection on all the tracks and I used drums from my own personal collection which was from the Mars Drum Pack, I also used samples from the film clip which I reversed and added reverb which is from, I used FXs on all the tracks too and is from Arturia FXs Collection. The next track Lock Jaws is from the film Jaws and again I used samples from the film sample like the strings and the vocals with other added FXs on top. When I can find samples with little instrumental parts to it I enjoy making tracks out of them and like to cut them up and use them over drums and synths. This one hasn’t got any synths on top as I thought I’ll leave it bare with just the strings from the film sample which I think goes quite well with the track. The next track Calling The Poltergiest is from the film Poltergeist which I used the famous one-liner with FXs and synthesizers on top of the beat. The film is older than it looks and is from the early 80s if you believe that. I’ve only seen it once so I can’t remember too much about it but maybe if I found it I should watch it I feel like watching all of the films mentioned on this album. The next track Fryday The 13th is from the film Friday The 13th and again, not a film I’ve seen dozens of times so I can’t remember too much about it but another film that is from the 80s and one of the most famous films out there from that era. Once again I used samples from the film sample including the creaky door which I put as a main bit of the track and the vocal sample which is off the weird man acting uncouthy. The next track Call For A Extocist is from the film The Exorcist and is a film I’ve seen several times now as it was on a lot on the TV and also I watched it online as well. I used the famous clip over the synths and some chanting which I used as a main bit of the track. The next track The Shining Day is from the film The Shining and again not a film I’ve seen many times I probably watched it once when it was on TV I might have watched it more than once who knows? I used the sample from the film with FXs and other stuff I added on top of the mix which I think worked alright for a dark Halloween track. The next track Living Dead Nights is from the film Night Of The Living Dead and again not a film I’ve seen too many times that I remember. I like this one and is my favourite on the album I don’t really care for the zombie FXs but I do like the way the film sample came out and think it makes it deranged and also intimidating. I might actually make another remix from this track sometime it might be Jungle/Drum and Bass as that’s what I’m hearing when I play it. The last track Carrie On is from the film Carrie and is a film I’ve seen several times since it’s been on the TV quite a lot when I was watching TV that is. I used another Arp over the film sample including the strings which I think I got from the film clip and also the basses which I used Artiria’s V collection for all the basses in this album. It’s another favourite film to watch even though I can’t remember too much about it but I know it’s a creepy film to watch especially alone it makes me worried about the strangers I might let in.Â
