Most of my music creations are a journey or story in musical form. 'Celestial Dancing' is a dance song to takes us off the dance floor as a coming together and a journey into the realm of a romantic celestial dreamscape.

It is interesting that my original concept of this song is so well illustrated in digital art has been made available to me for this music-video. Many thanks to the digital artists who created the scenes so well depicting my 'Celestial Dancing' story and journey.

This is a joyous dance theme that I composed for the Christmas time holidays but it could be joyous dance listening at any time of the year! This piece has the rich analog sound of the vintage Oberheim SEMs of the 70s.

Thank you Bert and Klaus! My studio is modeled after some of the some of the pioneers of synth music. I find those sounds seem to get appreciation in the more modern world of sounds. I will bring some of those sounds back in future contributions to Magix ;)

A very pleasant blending of tunes with a gradual distortion towards the end. You show what the synth sounds are capable of and you have chosen good pics for the video. Well done!

Hi Philip,

I appreciate your interest in how the synth sounds were done in this song. Well I did this exactly the way it would have been done with an Oberheim SEM polyphonic expander in the 70s. What you perceive as changes in distortion were actually dynamic changes in made to the subtractive filter while playing short melodies loaded into a sequencer on the fly and then also changes to an arpeggiator setup. So while playing at the keyboard I was also busy turning knobs on the front panel. Yes, the more ancient way of making music but the early pioneers of synth were always wanting to make new sounds beyond acoustical instruments. So imagining different scenes in the song you had to be quick at making changes to synth controls while playing. Yes, I had lots of fun in composing and performing this song. And now adding the imagery that represented the different dance scenes that I was imagining. ;)

I can see you are an expert at synths, Mark! I have learned a bit more about them by asking an AI chatbot. In the reply, I recognized some of the terms from when I was working with soundcards back in the 1990s. There were concepts new to me, such as setting up sweeps and filters to shape the sound. Still, I am hardly an expert but I can appreciate the synth samples Magix provides in their sample packs. I really like using them and can hear that synths can be very rich and strong sounding. Incidentally, Magix offers a few classic synths in their Instruments collection. I was noticing the Octave Cat and played through the little demo of it. A really nice sound. I almost didn't see your reply here. You can use the Magix Private Messaging system, or do an @Mark_Kostora to be sure of getting the person's attention.
