about

This is a remix or remake of the old and slightly famous demo song made for the Roland SC-55 range of GM modules. Adrian Scott initially wrote the song in 1989 as a demo for the W-30 Music Workstation, sampling the guitar with playing noises. He also needed a melody and his friend and vocalist, Penny Dryer did a vocal part. However, since the W-30 had limited sampling memory, he could only record the "doo" sound plus a line at the end of the song.

Roland's team back then was thrilled and wanted the song and the doo sample. And thus the famous «Voice Oohs» was born, which have been a fixed sound in every GM compliant module, synth and soundset ever since. You can hear Adrian talk about all these and more in this video from Roland: youtu.be/gWRy81QuOEU

The song was made as a homage to a great demo that had a huge impact on every kid who listened to the Sound Canvas series back in the early 90s. The premise is: "What if Leya grew up and had a daughter?".
