Sunny - Album

This album is a collection of 70s inspired beatstrumentals, with cheesy pop sounds and fun synthesisers. It was the product of opportunistic music-making, when dead time sat in front of my university’s computers lead to instinctive composition. Without any expectations, requirements or pre-conceived standards, I set out to create the most fun and entertaining pieces of music I could. With some demos made at uni, I equipped myself with a VST of the legendary D-50 Keyboard, an old Yamaha ABC Keyboard and Logic’s Retrosynth (which I used to create a variety of patches).

As I created more and more demos I realised that all these summer-y sounding songs were connected by the theme of sunlight. Having drawn an endearing sketch of the sun in my lecture-notes, I appointed the star as the album’s mascot and cover art.

Working on a couple more tracks, I took to mixing the collection and creating a cohesive album.
