Choice and Chance - music and animation by Used Soyuz

I am learning more about what I can and can't do (next or ever) with Linux music composition. 

This is composed entirely on the Pi 400 in LMMS, using its bundled SID and Triple Oscillator synths (Mad Mind and Future Bass presets), and my first downloaded Soundfonts. There's a background drone sound from zapsplat.com, and I just used Audacity for final mastering. 

The music suggested the video style to use, which I have added to with some top-quality stop motion animation. I had problems rendering my multiple video sources in Kdenlive, so I've rendered it in WEBM instead of MP4 as an experiment.

Return To Mars - music by Used Soyuz

Created to mark the arrival of three Mars missions (China's Tianwen-1, UAE's Hope and NASA's Perseverance) and in anticipation of a successful landing by Perseverance. Cobbled together on my Pi 400 using Audacity for vocal and telemetry samples, and LMMS for composition. The video (and captions) was originally by Science Fellow, edited with Kdenlive.

Look Up (Lateral Flow Mix) by Used Soyuz

My first go at remixing one of my own tunes. Here's 'Look Up' pushed back through Audacity again on the Pi 400, with far too much reverb and wahwah. It's my tune, so I'll do what I like with it.
