Thomas The Tank Engine Theme but the main piano is missing

Title is self explanatory.
To be honest, the main reason why this is out first is because oh boy, that lead piano is possible one of the most iconic sounds ever and incredibly difficult to get right.
IMO, you'd need a live recording from a real piano to really pull that off. No MIDI piano would truly do it justice tbh. The backing parts however, are easier to replicate. So I thought why not release a no lead mix of the iconic Thomas Theme Song.

Hey everyone. Just a quick message. While I know a lot of you enjoy the recreations of O'Donnell and Campbell's legendary work for TTTE. I'd also really appreciate if you'd take a look at music I've written too. I'm looking to experiment and expand as a composer to test my range and ideas, the Thomas stuff is nostalgic and everything but the original works is what I really enjoy to work with. Still on the 80s wave at the moment as there are some sounds I still want to tackle. Here’s a playlist of all the 80s and 90s stuff. I’ve arranged them similar to how they are on SoundCloud. Enjoy! kzfaq.info/sun/PLMtRClgemu18WeuhMuxWRmeKj3NlT3-FP

This is nice. It reminds me of an old steam engine I saw a little ways away from my town. Its out in the woods pretty much abandoned. All that’s left is the smokebox, boiler, and firebox. It was surreal to see it in person. You can see the controls and a small portion of the running board. Next to it there’s an old shack that’s abandoned as well. There’s pipes running from the engines dome that lead into the shack, and others that feed into a big metal box nearby. It’s interesting because it seems like it was used as a generator for a short time. It was kind of sad to see but it was thrilling anyways to see a piece of history like that. The wheels were scattered a short ways away as well.

I just heard on the radio, doobie bros. “What a fool believes” and I swear they use the same style synthesizers as these early episodes. Maybe there’s a remix there waiting to happen?!? Btw, another great piece S.A.

@SudrianAfro Жыл бұрын

Thanks. I believe they used a Prophet 5 for that song. Using a square wave very similar to the Jupiter’s clarinet. Lots of old synthesisers are like that, as much I like that song. I wouldn’t want Thomas fans to butcher that into another ‘Break My Stride’.

Holy cow, dude! This theme is MEGA accurate! You nailed everything from the Jupiter 6 “whistle” patch to the synth brass, I can’t even fathom how good this is. May I suggest though, if you want to get the “lead piano” sound, I’d suggest you reach out to OneTramBand, as he was the one who composed the original Thomas theme for “Project Tiger Moth.”
