Rivermen OST by Antonin De Bemels
This was my first soundtrack ever, and my first attempt at electronic music. Back then (1999), I mainly made video art. Choreographer Bud Blumenthal asked me to create the AV background for his dance piece "Rivermen". I made the video track using mainly analogue feedback generated by experimenting with an old JVC camcorder and a tube TV. The result was beamed onto the floor. I created most of the sounds using FM synthesis and other forms of digital processing from Acid Foundry's Sound Forge. I put it all together using rudimentary video editing software, laboriously, piece by piece, without a tempo or looping system like in modern DAWs (which I was only to discover later). The result is a little rough, but it still inspires me after all these years. What about you?
