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.

Look Up by Used Soyuz

A year into the pandemic, this contemporary composer finally gets round to a lockdown song. Composed on my new Raspberry Pi 400 using LMMS, with Audacity for the vocal overdub. I also used the Pi to edit the video, using Kdenlive for the first time. I hope you enjoy it.

Once Around The Moon by Used Soyuz

My first homemade composition on my new Raspberry Pi 400, using only LMMS. The lunar footage is from the NASA Goddard Space Flight Center, and seemed to go with its mood. You can see it in 4K at https://svs.gsfc.nasa.gov/13537 .LMMS is great, but I might try out Reaper as well.

My new studio under the stairs

Santa was very generous this year, and got me the brand new Raspberry Pi 400 (thanks again Santa), so I decided to try it out as a dedicated home music studio under the stairs. Here it is, plugged into an old VGA monitor via an HDMI adapter, with a basic USB sound card (just phono in and out) and my Akai LPK25 MIDI keyboard in a powered USB hub. I've installed LMMS and Audacity so far, and will see how far I get with these.

Meet Used Soyuz

I have finally realised that the only thing standing between me and the acclaim that is my due as a musician is my name. So I have decided to become a band, My Thing 3 helped me choose a name; so let me introduce ...

Analoguish

The Siren synth circuit from the techwillsaveus.com breadboard kit, with knob twiddling edited and pushed through Audacity effects, jumbled up with some poor quality auotoharp strumming. Not a DAW in sight, hence: Analogue-ish. I created this a few months ago, but hadn't got round to posting it here until now.

Wet Walk - music by Used Soyuz

Usually I make the music first, and the videos are an afterthought. This time I cut together some films of local walks, and then tried to make some music to match, using LMMS on a PC. This is my first recording as Used Soyuz - thanks Thing 3 for helping me to choose the name.
