Nobody Cares About Oscar

Well, I included an excerpt of this song on my Spring 2025 YouTube trailer, so I figured I ought to upload the song. I never uploaded it before because I thought I might take another shot at it, but just never got around to it. This is something I recorded the night the Oscars were being presented on TV, which explains the title.

Note: at the beginning of the video, I am playing the top keyboard (the Behringer Poly D), but you are also hearing the bottom keyboard (the Moog Mavis and Spectravox modules mounted in the NiftyKEYZ keyboard enclosure), which were being controlled via midi and being blended with the Poly D through the mixer. At one point, I turn the volume down on the Poly D and kick in the mod wheel. The bottom keyboard is soloing at that point, even though I am still playing the top keyboard. Later, you can see me turn the Poly D volume back up and switch on all of its oscillators, which adds some bass to the mix. I’m also tapping the BeatBuddy pedal (on the floor) during all of this to add drum fills and switch to different sections of the drum track. The BeatBuddy was also connected to the midi chain in order to keep it in sync with the synths.
