Subterranean Devil by Everett Dudgeon (Prophet X)

EverettDudgeon138

"I recorded a bunch of tracks this weekend and made sure they were all reflective of different styles. This first one is a quick Ifukube inspired piece. Nothing fancy but I really wanted to capture that classic Showa era Kaiju type score that you would hear Ifukube do for Frankenstein Conquers The World or Varan The Unbelievable. I think it turned out well.

The Prophet X is doing everything. Piano, Strings, Horns, Bassoon, Clarinet, Flute, Cymbal Roll, B3 Organ

I couldn't resist using one of my favorite Kaiju as an inspiration for the piece as well. ;)

Mountaintop Motel (Ron Di Iulio Cover) by Everett Dudgeon (Prophet X)

EverettDudgeon138

"Mountaintop Motel Massacre is truly an underrated horror flick. It has elements of Psycho, Misery, and even some classic Old Dark House moments.

The score by Ron Di Iulio is minimalistic and creepy. I sounds like the score is completely synthesized and my guess is an ARP Odyssey or Minimoog was used with possibly some type of string machine.

I went with a bit more of an acoustic approach using the Prophet X. The main melody is sequenced with some samples of a music box and also some creepy children vocals "La" This gives a creepy childish innocence which perfectly represents the main character Evelyn. There some brooding filter sweeps behind everything symbolizing something evil lurking beneath the surface.

Then suddenly another female vocal starts doing another melody overtop which is soon joined by a Theremin-like synth.

All in all I'm quite proud of this one, as simple as it is.

Mortuary (John Cacavas Tribute) by Everett Dudgeon (Prophet X)

EverettDudgeon138

"John Cacavas is one of the best composers in horror that has sadly been ignored. His iconic whistle oriented score for the awesome Horror Express still sends shivers down my spine. Other works include The Satanic Rites Of Dracula and Kojak.

I was going through a bunch of unreleased horror soundtracks and when I came across Mortuary I couldn't believe that John Cacavas was the composer. Luckily my Prophet X was next to me and I felt inspired.

The Prophet X is doing everything here. The upright piano, some bowed tonal percussion, suspenseful orchestral strings and some 12 String guitar hits.)

Enjoy!"

Return Of The Gargantuas (Ifukube Tribute) by Everett Dudgeon (Prophet X)

EverettDudgeon138

"Continuing on with my experiments in using the Sequential Prophet X in more 'traditional' scores I did a rough cover of Akira Ifukube's opening title theme to my favorite Kaiju film of all time.

It's rough in some areas and it was done completely by ear but I think it didn't turn out too bad. Enjoy!!

WHITE PONGO by Everett Dudgeon & Allan Ryppl

Published on Apr 22, 2020 EverettDudgeon138

"I'm unfortunately locked out of my studio space for the foreseeable future due to quarantine so I've been going through some files on my computer and decided to put a few tracks out. This one is longer and pretty chilled out.

Allan is on the Strat running through the Roger Linn Adrenelinnn iii Guitar Effects Box (Which is also doing the tribal drum beat).

I'm on the Prophet-X playing a Rhodes patch with a phaser on it and a nice blend of orchestral strings and Solina-esq synth strings near the end.

Enjoy!

The title comes from the 1945 film of the same name."

Prophet X Sounds Vol 3 by Everett Dudgeon

Published on Mar 2, 2020 EverettDudgeon138

"Some more patches and sounds I've done for the Sequential Prophet-X. Lots of soundtracks from some of my favorite flicks. Every patch you hear is playing in real time, no overdubs or multitracking.

Some usual stuff in here like Carpenter's Prince Of Darkness and Body Bags but for the most part I wanted to stick to really obscure stuff (which I prefer).
Ghosthouse, Razorback, Frankenstein '80, The Vampire And The Ballerina, Murderrock, The Deadly Organ, The Entity, Without Warning, MS 45, Anthropophagus, Chopping Mall, Laserblast, Burial Ground, and The Stone Tape.

Return Of Def Con 4 by Everett Dudgeon (Prophet X)

Published on Sep 2, 2019 EverettDudgeon138

"Very quick track I did tonight on the Prophet-X. I've been listening to a lot of scores recently from Christopher Young (Hellraiser, Species, Dorm That Dripped Blood, Def-Con 4, The Power) and I decided to do a quick track in his style. I noticed that, despite not using any synths Young focuses a lot of ambience and atmosphere conveyed. His score for Def-Con 4 showcases this and I wanted to try my hand at something a bit more 'Freestyle' with not a whole lot of traditional structure. I used a lot of "Ambience" and 'Cinematic' samples from the Sequential Prophet X for this piece as well as some Brass, Flute and String effects. Ironically the PX even has a category in the Cinematic section called 'Def-Con'...I couldn't resist using a sample of it at the end. ENJOY!"

Lo Pan's Revenge ( A Big Trouble In Little China Synth Tribute) by Everett Dudgeon

Published on Aug 5, 2019 EverettDudgeon138

"Arpeggiator/Sequencer party! I was at the studio this weekend and decided to record a few tunes. John Carpenter and Alan Howarth's score for Big Trouble In Little China is easily one of the best synth scores out there and it features probably the greatest synth setup in history. I decided to do a small tribute using the synths I have. Not a direct cover but there's certainly some motifs and riffs from the amazing score.

Sequential Prophet X Sampler-Slap bass, Middle Eastern percussion, Mandolin and Glass Marimba samples as well as some string, choir, Prophet VS and ethnic instrument overdubs.

Prophet 6-Some filtered pad sounds at the beginning, the iconic "rising brass" stab and some low arpeggiation.

Tempest-Lots of frantic percussion using the built in arpeggiator with both the LM-1 and Linn Drum Samples

It's all in the reflexes. :)

The Devil Commands (Prophet X)

Published on Jun 28, 2019 EverettDudgeon138

"And now for something completely different...

Inspired by the Jerry Goldsmith score for The Mephisto Waltz, I wanted to use the Prophet-X in a more classical oriented score using only the amazing piano and string samples from 8Dio. I synced all the sequences from my DAW and used the onboard effects, sequencer and features of the PX.

Prophet X sounds by Everett Dudgeon Part 2

Published on Jan 21, 2019 EverettDudgeon138

"Here are some sounds I've been working on with my Prophet X. Some patches are direct covers of movie themes but a lot of them are original sounds inspired by these flicks. No overdubs or mastering. Everything is played in real time or with the accompaniment of the onboard sequencer and arpeggiator.

There are some common influences in there like Big Trouble In Little China, The Blob and Children Of The Corn but there's also a lot of obscure ones like Robowar, Blood Beach and Aenigma.

Enjoy!

DAWN OF THE MUMMY (Shuki Levy Tribute) by Everett Dudgeon (Prophet X)

Published on Nov 6, 2018 EverettDudgeon138

"I've covered some pretty well known themes to some pretty well known films (well amongst cult movie buffs anyway) but there's some real hidden gems out there such as Shuki Levy's score for Dawn Of The Mummy. The film itself is a bizarre mix of classic Universal/Hammer style Mummy film and Dawn Of The Dead....I guess that's where the title comes from haha. I have no idea what Levy used on the score but his main riff is just infectious and plays in different incarnations through the picture. I went for more of a driving, hard hitting death march type of approach. The only synth I used was the Sequential Prophet-X. Lots of choir sounds layered with some VS wavetables to give an unapologetically digital sound. The drums are all from the PX as well."

HENRY: Portrait Of A Serial Killer (Robert McNaughton cover) by Everett Dudgeon

Published on Oct 29, 2018 EverettDudgeon138

He's Not Jason
He's Not Freddy
He's Real...

For my next installment I wanted to do something a bit more minimalist, and it doesn't get much more minimalist than Robert McNaughton's score for Henry: Portrait Of A Serial Killer.

McNaughton's score was done with a pretty basic setup

Roland Juno 106
Korg Polysix
Ensoniq Mirage Sampler

It's very percussion oriented with blasts of discordant synth stabs and off sounding arpeggiated metallic samples.

Instruments Used
Sequential Prophet-X Sampler (Heavy percussion hits, piano, whispering and screams)

Sequential Prophet-6 (A simple drone with a Phaser on it)

Enjoy!!!

VIDEODROME TRIBUTE by Everett Dudgeon SEQUENTIAL PROPHET X

Published on Oct 22, 2018 EverettDudgeon138

"I haven't uploaded a video in a while as I'm currently in pre production on a short film I'll be directing in November. I've been swamped in pre-production and trust me that's a great thing. I'm very fortunate to have met a wonderful producer in Toronto here who really is helping me get things going. I'm very fortunate and blessed to be surrounded by so many supportive and wonderful people.

Howard Shore's score for Videodrome is quite a unique score. What he did was he scored and recorded a real string orchestra and then re-sampled that recording into his Synclavier synthesizer. So the whole score has synthesized string recordings and authentic string recordings which fits the films plot perfectly.

I used the Prophet-X for this and approached it in a similar way. I used the beautiful string samples from 8Dio and layered them with the same strings but altered through frequency modulation and amplitude modulation. Lots of Bit and Hack used on the strings as well as some oscillators mixed in there as well. I think it turned out very well. Hope you enjoy! Long Live The New Flesh!!!"

C.H.U.D. (Martin Cooper and David A Hughes cover)- Prophet X, Moog Sub 37, Tempest

Published on Sep 7, 2018 EverettDudgeon138

"Another Music Video. This time for a much lesser known score. While the film C.H.U.D. (Cannibalistic Humanoid Underground Dwellers) has a pretty strong cult following it's score went unreleased for decades until Waxwork records released it officially in 2015.

On the original score the Emulator was featured prominently. In fact C.H.U.D. may very well have been one of the first scores to use it. In addition to the sampled sounds the score also featured a Roland SH1 and Linn Drum. Some other instruments included a Fender Telecaster, Saxophone and Steinway Grand Piano.

Of course this cover focused on the synth/sampler type sounds.

Instruments Used

Sequential Prophet-X Sampler (used from everything to the "C.H.U.D. voice", sewer sounds and a lo-fi choir/string sample)

Moog Sub 37 (Used for the main melody)

Tempest Drum Computer (standard Linn Drum kick)


Hope you all enjoy and remember....watch out for those manholes."
