540 Seven Deadly Syncs
Happy Lunar New Year! Do you know Japan's folk gods called "Shichi-Fuku-Jin" or "Seven Lucky Gods"? Here are pirate characters pretending to be the gods but at the same time having Seven Deadly Sins within them.
The song is my old work in Sept 2017, which was initially for my job, market communication manager, but later turned into a soundtrack for my playmobil play. Combining seven songs into one with additional all-starz combination, this is a kind of DJ mix. Though I know the last all mix is just noisy.. Yes, all the seven songs play at the same time! Nope, actually, it was the first. Later, I picked up the parts separately seven times, I got the seven songs.
Some tweak because these had to meet my PowerPoint slide works. So the first 10secs of each song has 2 additional secs. Musically, they are wired, but ok. I always love experiments.
Although the MV is completely dedicated to my "Seven Deadly, Happily or Whichever" articles of playmobil, the original theme of these songs were technology such as Internet of Things and Servitization , ERP, retail tech, customer contacts, work spaces, Internet security, and software development. Those themes brought titles like:
Make to Serve
Asian Resources
At Any of Your Convenience
The First Contact
Work for Your Style
I Wanna Cry
Agility Pusher
and 8. All Starz Out.
And you know, the title is inspired by one of the Cyndi Lauper's best albums called "Twelve Deadly Cyns...and Then Some". Great work in 80s and 90s. Must listen to.
*Since the initial version of the MV released on Feb 16th had a critical mistake of caption! Here is the newest version with no typo and a newer description for Ben-Zai-Ten to express her versatility. [Mar 1st 2018]

537 Fairytale volatile v1.0 /1.1 /1.2
It was when I watched the animation called "The Ancient Magus' Bride" that I was hit by an idea of fairytale-like, some spiritual, some fantasy-style track, with some old paganism feelings. And this is the final version of the track named "Fairytale volatile", which adds drone sounds to the proceeding versions listed below so that it seems like Will 'o the Wisp are dancing around the music.
v1.0 - singing Dryad
v1.1 - visiting Sprigan
Surprisingly, the best fitting MASCHINE EXPANSION was "PULSWERK" which is originally intended for minimal techno and house. It, however, contains bunch of glitch sounds and drone sounds, which I feel like voice, laugh, and footsteps of fairies. And to tell the truth, this is my best favorite song of mine so far. How do you feel it? Thanks.

536 At the End of the Year: To The End of The Sky
Thanks 2017!
Thanks playmobil and playmoland!
Thanks NATIVE INSTRUMENTS!
Thanks MASCHINE and KOMPLETE!
Thanks Soundiron, Arturia and NKS!
Thanks my experience in 80s, 90s and 2000s!
Thanks those who brought them into my life!
Featuring MASCHINE Expansion called "BYTE RIOT", 80s game console sounds for tip tune creator, this track " To the End of the Sky - Age of MSX2 mix" is my tribute to nostalgic RPGs in 80s, especially their ending themes. Imagine you're out of the dungeon or the castle of last boss, riding on the back of your partner Dragon, and are flying into the endless blue sky!
I know the drum track especially kicks are too much saturated so that you might find this a bit noisy. Hope you enjoy those sounds like trying to go beyond the limit of the poor hardware of the days.
Another version of my track "To the End of the Sky". More contemporary or at least 90s dance house music style than its original 80s game console sounds. The Expansion is the same, "BYTE RIOT", but some addition. Also I tweaked the mix of track volumes and the balance of each drum so that it sounds probably more bright, shining, and trancy. Hope you feel the sense of countdown party between the end of the year and the new year day.
This is my appreciation to the human civilization ;-)
