I made this a couple years ago back when I decided I was going to be serious about music.

Moon Base Alpha

My goal was to finish a song and to tell a story. Each section of the song was written using mental story boarding where the next "scene" dictated what would come next. All melodies began as hummed phrases that lodged in my brain while I was toiling at my day job.

I thought I posted this already, but I guess not. Someday I'll re-do it so it isn't so naive.

Thanks guys, it was a monumental project.

I threw everything in there that I knew how to do at the time, plus some stuff I figured out as I went along.
When I visualized the story progression as I worked, it looked like Super Nintendo graphics. So the video game vibe is intentional.

The loose plot of the story based on song sections is:
  • Approaching Moon Dock
  • Beaming Down to the Moon Base
  • Racing Through the Streets
  • Evil Scientist Tampers with the Core
  • Scientists Unveil A.I.
  • Attack of the Robot Army
  • Plight of the People
  • The Council Summons the Defender
  • Ascent of the Defender
  • The Great Battle
  • A.I. Defeated
  • Harmony of Robots and Humans
  • Rebuilding the City
  • Celebration
I have ambitions of creating a video for this, but I just haven't had the time.
Just like I would love to clean it up/redo it so the mix isn't so shit (I'm a perfectionist). Someday...
