Скачать или смотреть A Tale of Three Worlds | Retro Synthwave

This is the first full song from CSO::2095, recorded and produced by Helge T. Kautz, creator of voXager. But unlike voXager, CSO:2095's genre is electronic, right up the alley of Kraftwerk, Jean-Michel Jarre, Vangelis, Human League, Yazoo, Depeche Mode and other Synthpop/Synthwave artists of the 70's and 80's.

CSO:2095 is all about sci-fi, artificial intelligence and retro-futurism. This song is a hommage to a particular song on one of Helge's favorite albums of the early 80's. Can you guess which? :-)

These analog synthesizers and drums were used:
KORG Mono/Poly
KORG PolySix (with KiwiSix upgrade)
KORG Poly 800
Roland JX-3P (with Kwi3P upgrade)
Yamaha TX 802
Hohner Logan String Melody II
Cyclone Analogic TT-78
Simmons SDS 8

Production notes:
The music was recorded and produced in Cubase 11 Pro. Keyboard videos were recorded with a Zoom Q8 camcorder, 3D characters animated using Character Creator 3, typing effect with a bash script on Linux. Visual FX and compositing done in Magic Music Visualizer, and final editing in Da Vinci Resolve.

This was a lot of work, most of which I had never done before. I hope you enjoy it! More in this style will come before the turn of the century ;-)
