BLACKOUT CROWN
Original Muse-inspired instrumental, not an existing Muse song.
140 BPM, 32 bars. Eight editable MIDI tracks, sampled piano/guitar/drums and two live Surge XT synths.
The video is an actual REAPER screen capture: construction is automated with Lua/ReaScript, followed by uninterrupted playback. No vocals or spoken commentary.
Project setup: install REAPER and Surge XT. Copy the included Effects files into your REAPER resource Effects directory. In each blackout_* effect, replace /var/lib/craig-v6/workspace/data/projects/blackout-crown/samples/ with the absolute path to your extracted samples directory. Open Blackout_Crown.rpp.
Samples were rendered from the installed TimGM6mb soundfont, not recorded live.
