The final track of the D.O.D. Sci Fi album. This track is a prog rock, metal track that took the longest time to produce and create. The aim was to be fluid and have changes in tone throughout a story telling track. We tried to allow all of us to be as expressive as possible in the music with varying music and drum tracks not bound by the conventional verse chorus ways of normal tracks.
The Lyrics took a while longer but I was very pleased with the result and this is only the second track that uses first person lyrics in the album the other being One Moment In Time. Lance did an awesome job of shifting guitars from lead, to buzzy lead to acoustic to rhythmic guitar. I asked Paul to not confine himself to repeating patterns but really allow the music to dictate where he wanted the drums to go and he done a superb job in interpreting this in my opinion.
I hope you like this final track look for remasters of the other D.O.D. album soon.

I took some time off needed to rest. During this time I did go to my MPC and start what I thought was another 80s new wave track. As I was close to completion it occured to me that Lance enjoyed my synth music and asked if he would like to use this track on the D.O.D. sci fi concept album one of the ten tracks this track would make eight of ten.
Lance liked the track and was very enthusiastic in having a chance to producing the music. Similarly to my Supplication SOS Execution XX this track has four movments than the usual two or three in most songs. With 2 bass tracks a guitar track up to six synth tracks there was a fair amount of tracks involved.
Lance did an awesome job of arranging the track and adding FX, adding additional guitars and producing the track. The stereo field was once again pretty amazing. We both mastered the track in order to get the best clarity possible.
The lyrics are inspired by discussions I have been having with Lance regarding potential story's that we wanted in our album as we are approaching the finishing line. Many of those discussed elements were incorporated into this Vocals
Due to the early mix which in the second half of the track had louder guitars I felt I needed to use more aggressive lyrics and spoken worked and for the first time have used my gravel rock vocals in a D.O.D. track, Paul completed the track by adding his amazing drum track. We (D.).D) felt that the drums needed to be up in the mix which is my the track was mastered on my MPC Live 2 which specializes in hip hop etc and has manty tools on making drums stand out.
Transcendent = more than human
Apotheosis = Greek name for demi gods, gods

Boogie Night Dreams is a direct sequel to Queen of New Las Vegas however instead of 70s space funk its 70s space disco. After doing the superb guitar that I thought sounded like disco I asked Lance whether he could create a disco track based off a similar guitar riff. Lance came back with a superb track with great bass lines fantastic guitars and Paull added his excellent drums.
I decided to go with a rhodes melody line for the instrumental. A spooky spacey synth on the high end. After adding these to the mix Lance asked me to do some brass hits to serve as highlights which I did and that I think work very well.
Lance added the sfx extra guitar licks and other highlights to the mix. To be honest it was dense and dance worthy I was not sure whether it should stand as an instrumental. Lance persuaded me to give the some lyrics a go.
I did 5 vocals tracks in total and I had a fairly unique approach I had a list of lines that rhymed with Boogie Night Dreams that i would use in no particular order. The only fixed lyrics in this track was the rap at the 3/4 way through the track.
That's the other unique thing about this track is that its the first time we have a genuine rap and spoken word in one track.
Lance was pushed to his limits on mixing this one and I am once again delighted with the mix and the spatial sounds of this track.
I used the Akai MPC Live 2 for all my tracks,

This track has been bubbling in my mind ever since I created my debut rap track Dance Floor. I have used multiple rap vocal voices before on Psychic but it was more for isolating the characters. This track is a pure homage to the groups like NWA, Wu Tang Clan, Salt and Pepper, Beasty Boys, Public Enemy featuring Terminator X, and Silver Bullet. What I liked about these groups is they alternated rappers and the larger groups had contrasting vocals. Easy E from NWA had this really high pitch voice that I liked as a contrast with the lower tones of other rap artists. So I have attempted to create my own posse by varying my vocals and method of delivery to emulate these groups.
I owe Lance Olsen a major thanks who on hearing this track said he would love to do a guitar part for it. Its brilliant and sparked ideas for other projects were currently working on. I also owe Lance another big thank you for inviting me to be part of the group D.O.D. The one vocal was invented for Queen of New Las Vegas and I used it on a rap track for the first time.
All beats and other music was created by myself on this one no samples. I used the MPC live 2. I recently purchased A Mini Moog VST for my MPC and that is what I used for both the bass line and the melody line and it sounds fantastic in my opinion.

I created a full synth song. I have upgraded my MPC Live 2 recently and wanted to test the new synthesizers on it. Including in this mix are tracks from OPX 4, Mini Moog, Fabric XL synthersiers. There is also a piano track going all the way through the track and everything was built around that piano track.
Lance took the different tracks did his magic creating something that was new wave synth pop and turning it into a more industrial synth soun. Paul added his fantastic drums which Lance supplemented.
I was reluctant to put vocals on the track at first its dense full of countermelodies and stands on its own as an instrumental in my opinion. However Lance disagreed and thought it would make a great track for the spoken word. I must say after writing the lyrics and recording the vocals I think he was right.
I returned two Vocals tracks which Lance used to great effect. Lance was surprised how often my voice is hitting the bat and sent me a sample to illustrate with just a drum and vocals Which in itself give us an idea for a different kind of track down the line.

I met Lance Olsen on Top Ten Promotions and Lance very kindly suggested we collaborate on some projects of which this is the third track. We decided to create a band called D.O.D. with band members being De'flern Olsen de'Smidt.
Lance had listened to one of my classical tracks and he said that he did not realize that I had some classical training. He asked could I do a classical track but to a consistent beat. He relished the challenge of producing a jazz track from the piano that I sent him.
I send him single piano, two track pianos and three track pianos in different sections. The resulting song is the result of that collaboration of Lance mixing arranging and playing instruments off the tracks that I sent.,
Paul deSmidt then added the excellent drums to finish the track. Lance came up with the name Magnetic fields after I outlined the story that the track had inspired me. There is a part of the track that I felt strongly dissonant but I thought that would be a great part of the story I wanted to tell via AI Images and stock Video. This is the part where I added a meteor storm at the colonese space ships and the danger that brung to the people there.
Paul had an excellent drum solo that was just fat and relentless but I could hear that Lance had put the pianos down in the mix underneath the mix. I asked whether we could add some brief piano parts as if dolphins were dancing with the ship in that section. You can hear for yourself the result towards the end of the track. I was delighted to add space dolphins to the AI art which did feature in Underneath the Universe to.
(Underneath the Universe as well as all D.O.D. tracks can be found on both my channel and Lances.)

Serino
Lyrics, Written, Produced and Performed by
Darmin De'flern
Videos by Various artists from www.pexels.com
Video edited, titles and subtitles by Darmin De'flern
This started as a test for how my new guitar would play and record. The guitar is an Ibanez RGT1220PB. While I like my Ltd Viper its a little limited in tone. I wanted something that would be able to produce lots of tones for recording purposes. The Ibanez seemed perfect as it has special setup that allows the humbuckers to be split in various ways allowing for a total of 10 different tones.
The song was initially called AC/DC as a working name as I wanted to try an AC/DC homage track. However once again the song took me in a very different direction. I think the tones I was getting from the guitar (clean) were reminiscent of Americana type of tune. Together with that drum track I created for the guitar to sit over I was inspired when adlibbing the vocal tone to base it to a similar sound to Bob Dylans Subterranean homesick blues one of my favorite tracks out there.
I think I was also partly inspired by Kenny Ostrow, a singer songwriter who is a very bluesy folk artist. His slice of life songs are fantastic and amusing. And I really enjoy the way that he approaches the acoustic guitar. This is why I have left some thanks to him in the credits. I want to thank him here to, thank you Kenny :D.
The other vocal melody lines are close to a brit poppy vibe and seemed to work as a fusion of styles. The theme sound of the guitars the vocal deliveries leant itself to Americana lyrics which I wrote.
Serino is a word I made up while adlibbing. When I did a google search i found that it was Italian word so I thought it would make a great name for the protagonists girl friends name. The meaning of the name influenced some of the lyrics to.
I used my Ibanez RGT1020PB guitar with this one and my Sennheiser Mic for the vocals. Everything else from the AKAI MPC live 2. I also used the MPC Live 2 to produce mix and master the track.

One of the best musical creative experiences I had. The bass on this track was off the charts and I fell in love with this track when Lance sent it to me. I created four of my best takes for the vocals sent them to Lance Olsen. Along with the synth pad and synth lead. What Lance Olsen has done with this track in terms of production is pure wizardry with an amazing stereo mix. I am also in love with the lead guitar just fits so well and sounds amazing. It was a privilege and an honor to create this track along with my two new found friends.
The choice of using AI art in this one was deliberate. I wanted it to be a little surreal to fit into the music theme in addition still images perfectly suit the title of the track.

Love and Tears Darmin De'flern. Ballad, love song, 80s, 90s.
This song was originally written as lyrics sometime prior to 2002. Later in 2002 I created an instrumental version of the song which I included in an album called Live (2002).
Some time passed and I started to put some of my music into a website called mp3.com where various artists competed with each other based on track popularity. Its during this time I started talking to a fellow Welsh musician called the Bard of Ely. We often competed with each other in the various genres in the Cardiff charts.
The Bard of Ely suggested we meet up and he came up to my house in the Welsh Valleys. There we had a chat and shared our love of music. I mentioned I had a song called Love and Tears that had lyrics, instrumental and melody (mostly from the piano melody line) and would he care to be a guest vocalist on the track. He did and we recorded his vocals to the DAW there and then.
Love and Tears was then entered into the www.mp3.com website and garnered considerable success. Hitting number one in the Love / Ballad charts and number one in the Cardiff all format charts. It went on to get to number 4 in the Love / Ballad charts in the UK.,
The original tracks was my first attempt at creating a song on a DAW and with little experience the track suffered from my lack of knowledge in mixing and mastering. As such I always wanted to return to the track to redo it from scratch. As such this is a completely knew version of the track (whilst trying to stay close to the original recording in terms of instrumentation and tenor),.
Love and Tears was written by Darmin De'flern This version is also performed vocally by Darmin De'flern. Videos were created by various artists on www.pexels.com. Video editing, titles and subtitles by Darmin De'flern. I would like to thank the Bard of Ely for his vocals on the original track. I would also like to thank Dale Jones for his input on this track (he is a fan or the original) for his suggestions which helped improve the final product.
I am very happy and honored to present to you Love and Tears 2021 version enjoy!

My Ex
Lyrics, Production, Written and Performed by
Darmin De'flern
Videos by Various artists from www.pexels.com
Video edited, titles and subtitles by Darmin De'flern
This song started as a pop song trying to emulate the catchy bass lines for some of the great Michael Jackson hits like Billy Jean or Smooth Criminal.
I put the drums in for the bass line I had in mind and from there on it started going in a different direction. As I was singing over the bass line I found that the tenor of the melody used was more apt for a darkwave, synth pop type of song.
From there on the song started from that bass line and morphed into this song. I decided against using the guitar this time around and have a pure synth song as the vocals are fairly monotone in nature it felt right that the song reflected that style to.
The idea for the song again came when I was riffing for some type of melody for vocals. I sung the words seen your face on the cover of a magazine. This lead me to a story that fitted around the partial line that I add-libbed.
The verse deals with the narration of what is happening to the protagonist. The transition narrates the negative emotions and hurt that the protagonist has and the chorus reflects his love and genuine wishes his ex does well for herself.

I have been wanting to try a pure drum and bass song for a while. However when I started this project I though why not use multiple bass lines rather than just the one. So I used two basses over three bass lines some of these riffs are counter melodies others are almost tight enough to be chords.
The other thing I always wanted to know is how would a rap vocal sound like over a sung song and over an entirely different rap track. I have done both in this track.
I needed some justification for this so I thought about creating a song about a Psychic who over the song looses her control and starts to let multiple voices into her head at the same time or allowing voices in while she is thinking.
The reason the 3 rap lyrics are so different is they represent the voices that the psychic is currently focusing on. Different voices different thoughts being picked up. Whenever there is a sung part that is the psychic voice in her own mind.

Before I sign off I was really very happy that I found the videos I did from pexels.com. Some of the lyrics are pattern based not linear but the videos allowed me to put those lyrics in context.
I am dislexic and I wanted to write the lyrics in a way that made sense to me but might be confusing to other people. I might do a video to interpret the lyrics the way I see them one day soon.
I wanted the computer to be confused, frustrated then machine like and logical. I wanted the AI hacker to be hyper to bounce around with his thoughts his panic and terror to build and his frustration of riding a tiger he cant get off.
I wanted to do this by using the Lyrics in a particular way and also sound good to the hear. The sentence might not make sense in and of itself but as a pattern and in context it would with other lyrics.
Finally I wanted the lyrics and the video to convey a sense of panic amongst the humans reacting to the AI as they realize just what its up to.
My last three songs are an allegory of what is happening in the world today and my feelings about them. However it is not for me to interperate that message but for you the viewer to do so yourself.

Jorgan approached me to do a four person person project with a 12 bar song. In it he would inter cut four different vocal artists who were singing over his track In addition he asked me to create a bass line.
I asked Jorgan weather I could do the part that I was involved with as a separate release and he kindly agreed. This then is the combination of Jorgan's original 12 bar track with my vocals and bass line.
Gear used to create this song:
(from my end)
AKAI PRO MPC live.2
Sennheiser E835s Mic
Audio Technica M50X headphones
LTD B-254 Bass
I will post links to the Jorgan Jacobson's media and youtube accounts soon.

Jorgan asked whether we would like to be part of a country project and asked a number of artists to contribute their lyrics (vocals, vocal melodies) to the track. This was my submission to him which he kindly allowed me to publish as a complete if short song in it's own right.

Break Me (Anarchy) Darmin De'flern Original Song Preview Metal, Rap, Synth
Break Me? (Anarchy)
Lyrics, Production, Written and Performed by
Darmin De'flern
Videos by Various artists from www.pexels.com
Video edited, titles and subtitles by Darmin De'flern
This started life as a pure hard rock metal song. I have been wanting to do another pure rap song since Dance Floor. I thought that the beat and the instrumental melody lines L9ve in this song were more conducive to a rap than a sung melody.
Song is about coming together and supporting each other as communities rather than fighting against each other and inflicting crime one each other.
The word Chinthe used in the lyrics s a natural but stylized lion used in statues or bass relief in South East Asia. As I live in Malaysia I thought I would drop that word in there.
Equipment used:
MPC Live 2
Ltd 254 Bass
Ibanez RGT1020PB
Sennheiser e835s Mic
All production , mixing and mastering done on the MPC Live 2.
