Another Haunting Dream

October 6, 2023

Introduction

I had this nightmare or dream last night it was a recurring dream of me being in a nuclear bomb explosion and the fallout around that. I already did an Ebook on the last couple I had cos now I had at least six or seven dreams or nightmares but they are more like anxiety dreams. I explained that it was probably from the aeroplanes going past and it sounded like a bomb just got dropped or that’s how I think it sounded or my brain should I say thinks it sounds. I recently finished a zombie game where I got the template online and did my own thing with IE. I made the sprites including the zombies and other stuff in the game, which is why I had zombies in my dream or a zombie  but I’ll leave a link to both the game and Ebook below if you want to check that out it’s all free and on this website. I didn’t read the news article or watch the video but there was an explosion in Oxfordshire apparently it was a gas tank that got hit by lightning and there was a big fireball the thumbnail to the video looked like it was a nuclear explosion which probably is another factor of me having the dream or nightmare but it’s been a while since I had one and was quite scary exactly in parts I was on my edge of the seat in my dream and real uptight and on edge I remember that. 

Mental Release

In the first part, I was in a mental hospital or a prison or it could have been both as it goes one bit to the next like you just fast forward the ads. The television was on and a nuclear explosion had just happened somewhere. I’m not really sure what happened before that but I think the news reporter got munched by a zombie after the nuclear explosion and it panned and stayed on the horizon of a field or whatever the backdrop was. I was then let out of the prison or asylum because of the explosion they said I was let out on good behaviour even though I was causing some sort of ruckus over something that I can’t remember. But I remember thinking I can’t believe they were letting me out but was quick out the door.  I rushed home because of the pandemic and presumably because of the explosion too. As I was making my way home on foot I went down alleys and roads that were best described as the Black Mirror episode where she wakes up and finds she’s the only person to be in existence but there was a bit where she’s walking down the roads and passed houses as you would see in Coronation street or up north new built attached houses. Something happened just before I appeared in my flat in the next bit I remember but it was something that shook me a bit in my dream and happened around the newly built house and was like the Civic Center dream I had and mentioned in the Ebook there’s a whole chapter dedicated to that part of the dream.

Home At Last

The next bit I was in my flat there was some sort of row in my bedroom. I’m still unsure what it was about but it was something major and taking up a lot of my time as I had plans to leave for the town as it might have been said on the news at the asylum or prison to leave your homes and head to safety, I’m not too sure.  Something caused me to leave my flat I think as I said wanted to head to town and get to safety so I walked which took some time and was slow-paced. Also, I was in my flat for some time as I couldn’t leave but I wanted to and had to wait for something but again I’m not sure what. I think I watched TV and got more updates of the explosion and watched normal TV as they told us on the TV we were safe and that nothing is going on even though there was a nuclear explosion live on TV and also a zombie attack or some sort of beast but I think it was a zombie as it looked more like but it wanted blood.

Up The Market

I was by Old Market Street it’s the main point or one of the main points into town coming from the outskirts of Bristol and is a famous street in Bristol it’s well known and not for it’s roughness. I was attacked by a zombie as I made my way into town and also met someone after I got attacked by a zombie and we stole a car because, in the car we were advised to get into a car but that was it and we thought another nuclear explosion was going to happen. Not only that there was some sort of barricade blocking the way to walk and only cars were going past there weren’t that many cars but there were one or two. The car journey didn’t last that long and we ended up going our different ways once we got into the main town part which was outside Debenhams but at the back entrance away from the main street and overlooking a busy road, opposite a busy bus stop and a Beefeater but in my dream the bus stop and Beefeater wasn’t there. It wasn’t busy in my dream either and no one standing on my side of the road even near the main road by Marks & Spensers I was standing at the top of the road so nowhere near there but I could see all the way down.

Wait Your Turn

So there I was outside Debenhams and I saw people on either side of the road. It looked different to how it looked in reality. The road had barriers on both sides, queuing up to leave town. There must have been talk of authorities or some man who took over the town whilst it was in a state and in panic well I think the authorities told us to leave and the man whoever he was, was trying to get everyone to stay why I have no idea but it seemed like a cunning plan he was going to hatch. I didn’t know what was going on as in people queuing to leave Bristol till I saw these queues of people and found out then.  Whilst queuing up we all learned of the man who wanted us to stay in Bristol which we knew we were going to die if we stayed and somehow he was holding us back but this was our actual freedom. Why and how who knows but it was decided we were going to hunt him down and set off to his destination. He may have been a zombie creator whatever it was it was bad enough to go hunt for him down and win back our freedom. Some people were talking of staying if they managed to get hold of this man whoever he was. We then went to look for him, hearing that he had escaped to a theatre so that’s where we headed to and wasn’t much of a walk but seemed longer in the dream. 

The Show Begins

The theatre was cordoned off with wood fencing, but music was blasting from the outside speakers with flood lights that were still on in the day time. The zombie creator or whoever he was stood behind the wooden fencing and behind a wall out of view and we all knew he was there but couldn’t get to him who knows what would have happened but all that could be seen was his shadow. There were two entrances in the front and two as you go in like an old-fashioned cinema entrance or theatre you might still see and a  pink neon lighting and writing in a cool font I was admiring the font with the neon light and there was music playing. It sounded nice at the beginning like cinematic music then it went all wired and hard to hear the music and was like a distorted wired noise it scared some of the people but not everyone. The next bit was away from the theatre it seemed around the corner but there was talk of some people held captive nearby and just as it happened our freedom was awaiting at this location but we were warned it wasn’t pretty or it was going to be just a walk in the park but we were all worried about it and didn’t know where we were going end up, especially with the zombies or whatever they were but we were up for it and wanted to be at the final place with no drama.

Nightmare In The Woods

Next, there was a long trek, for someone gave us the next clue as to what we had to do next, we had to leave Bristol. We trekked to this place or it morphed into woodland it was rather dark in the woods but  was still light out of the woodlands. There were zombies or dead bodies all over the place and covered the forest floor. The whole floor was covered with bodies every last patch of woodland and there was this skeleton zombie thing that looked human at first until I got closer and recognized it wasn’t alive it had a lantern in its hand. Some bodies were still alive but pretended to be dead and was a horrific sight I nearly ran away. The whatever it was with the lantern didn’t detect me and let me pass but was sniffing the next person as it was standing there like it was in a zombie game and I remember quickly walking ahead at a fast pace before it detected me and not to see the fate of the person behind me who knows what happened to them? The creature with the lantern, they were over-seers and looked strong and powerful oh there was also groaning going on coming from the creature and some of the bodies on the floor it was terrifying, I was looking for someone in particular, but then discovered that they were one of the dead bodies on the ground in the woods so I had to get out of there as soon as I could and that’s what I did I got out safe and I think there were loads of undead creatures by that point and chased me out of the woods into the daylight again as that felt like it was the safe zone again.

The Chase Is On

During this last bit of the dream, I ran into a building, it was a side-view like a long mobile builder’s hut, it had windows but at the same time it was a train maybe it was part of an old railway line in Bristol onwards to Bath but at first it looked like a hut. I was by the window so I opened it oh there was also some unhidden danger that I faced so I opened the window to get a better look and saw a crowd and a man, not the person or the unhidden danger but they were all running away down the hill as it looked mountain. I had my head hanging out of the window and they were running away from me because I was shouting and waving for them to go there was also this weird eclipse that happened too shortly before I chased people away and also a quick glimpse of some dragon King Kong I don’t know what it was but it looked a lot like that and then I then woke up once again relived it was only a dream especially the woodland bit I was shook it felt like I seen it all before but a different dream.

DUNGEON VST PLUGIN [FREE DOWNLOAD]

I made another VST free to download it’s a Halloween special and I used an old Yahama keyboard for the sounds and put FXS on them to change the sound, I also designed the GUI to the plugin which as always I enjoyed doing the most apart from making the sounds for the VST which I also enjoyed the most. I named it Dungeon to go with the Halloween theme and because it’s a dark-sounding VST and you can’t get any darker than a dungeon. I used an old photo I took which was around 2010 of the woods when it was getting dark it is one of my favourite photos I took other than the one I took with my dog the same day with her in a misty background in the background it looked like she was standing on her legs and her eyes were all lit up, I should dig it up again one day and try to use it in something but I have no idea what. As always I used Romplur to make the VST with the Romplur website to put the GUI together which didn’t take that long I also used online FXs for a change to make the main background picture for the GUI. I wanted to make something diverse so I made or as I wished to I ended up with various sounds that would be good for soundtracks of all types including atmospheric soundtracks so I’m pretty happy with the outcome and with the new plugin. I rent to own which is paid in small bits and it’s yours once you pay off the balance no extra charges and you can cancel whenever you want. I love the scheme and I’ve been doing it on Splice since they introduced the thing I can’t remember when that was but it wasn’t that long ago. I used Infiltrator 2 plugin to change the sounds and transform them it’s the newest plugin I got and I’m still trying to get to grips with it so I used the presents for now until I know how to use it properly but it sounds good still unsure how much or how many times you can change the sound to a different texture but I like it. As always the plugin comes with built-in FX to further change it like Reverb, Delay, Chorus, LFO Routing, Chrous, Glide, Cutoff for High Pass and Low Pass Filters and more. The plugin is suited for all genres as it’s a synth but also good for Halloween and Horror soundtracks and songs and also dark and moody tracks but I made it with Halloween and Horror tracks in mind.  Below is the demo video with all the sounds in the video and also 4 tracks which show off the sounds some more and are all different genres to get a feel for what it can and can not do but something Halloweeny and also can be found on my Bandcamp free download page since it’s Halloween.

Music News – New Album; Tales Of The Dark Side

July 24, 2023

Music News

22/07/2023 - New Album; Tales Of The Dark Side

Halloween has come early this year with this year’s album. The tracks are a bit longer than usual as they mostly have intros at the beginning of the track which I enjoyed making them and was a bit different and something I don’t usually do. Still, I felt like something special for Halloween and for it to be dark and melodic. It’s precisely 4 EPs in one album with different concepts for each EP. The first one, Messy Future, is about a dystopian future and the start of the end of mankind. The second one Welcome To The Circus is about a haunted circus that goes from town to town haunting the spectators with their horrific acts and brutal ways.  The third EP is about being in a haunted house of this girl who lived there since she died of the common cold in Victorian times now she chases people out with her haunting ways. The last part of the EP or album is remixes of the songs on the album and I couldn’t think of another story so I just decided to do some remixes I know people like House music so I did that instead. It was going to be another Synthscape but I couldn’t find a long enough bit to make the Synthscape up and I decided it was good for an intro on an album and then I decided to make more intros and make the songs longer. The FXs on the intros are mangled-up audio of a mix I made it came out funny the first time and I managed to duplicate how it came out and made my synth-scapes out of them which are mangled audio with synthesizers I played over the mangled sounds and is what the FXs on this album is as well. I must admit it’s hard to keep coming up with stuff for Halloween and Christmas, I like to make something interesting and something I don’t or haven’t done and I’ve been making Halloween and Christmas music since 2017 and it’s getting harder each year which is why I like to do concept albums quite a lot as it’s gives me more to think about and be more creative with. This year it’s all twists and plots and I enjoyed making the music as well as the intros. I did have some old Halloween EPs I was meant to put out but was too busy and forgot about them too but I put the best one on the EP which was the Welcome To The Circus EP I made that 2019. I do hope to sell some of the songs to TV and film I know the intros sound interesting I don’t know about the songs themselves but I’m using Ditto Music a music distributor which lets you release music to all the major music platforms like Spotify, Apple Music, Deezer, YouTube Music and many more for £19 a year but they have a publishing offer for £30 to pitch your songs to sellers in the TV and Film fields so I’m going for that. I am a bit sceptical but we will see I am hopeful though as I think some of my songs are good stuff for TV but I’m not the expert.  As you might of tell I like to use my imagination and it’s good to think of a whole plot without actually writing them down as I like quick things even though I do enjoy making stories and fake characters up it’s always fun but I would write a book but it takes too long.  I like to be serious too and do more serious stuff like this album I made it was another fun way to get creative and do a concept EPs or album but what to do for next year or Christmas….??????>>>>>stay tuned!!!!!

Halloween 2022 Sample Pack

September 29, 2022

HALLOWEEN 2022 SAMPLE PACK

So I made this year’s Halloween album a few months back and I had the samples and felt like giving something away, so here are the samples I made from the 13 Moons album. They are of both cassette tape recordings and the original samples all made within FL Studio, and I recorded most of them on a shoebox cassette tape which I filtered out any noises but they are both clean and dirty samples as I didn’t know what or how you will be using them for or your own tastes. I used Arturia V8 for the sample sounds and one of my favourite synth plugins to make synth music with and also I used a Tascam to record the samples from the tape recorder, also I used FL filters for filtering. The sample pack is royalty-free but I’m interested in hearing what you made of it, so if you would like me to hear your creations from the samples please go to the forum and select the topic SHARE MY MUSIC when making a new post but you must be signed in, this was to cause less damage with spam. 

I didn’t even intend to make this a Halloween sample pack or album I was just messing about with the cassette deck and the FXs and thought how eerie it was so I made a whole album around it which I released in May but rereleased on the 28th of this month.  I would like a better tape cassette but don’t really want to fork out £300 for a cassette deck and I already tried second hand and that turned out to be a waste of money but I have an amp and I like to run the sound through that which I like to do now and then when I messing around with the cassette player.  To be honest I’m glad I did it before the queen passing as I would have cancelled it as I was just about to do it when she died and it felt wrong making dark but light music during and in the aftermath of the funeral so lucky I did it before.

The album which I made from these samples is both the original track and also the taped sample track which makes up 13 songs in total and is all inside the sample pack, the album will be in this post underneath the sample preview and is just some of the samples I would have done them all but it would have been an hour long. 

This sample pack contains;

9 construction kits; – 

172 loop samples in total.

87 cassette tape clean loops

79 cassette tape dirty loops

*10 one shots
