Fallout Shelter: Beats to Studio, Be Creative and Productive Video

The Dynamic Universe presents the Fallout Shelter: Beats to Study, Be Creative and Productive video!

Four music producers decide to combine forces and create music under the name Fallout Shelter. They are Dynamics Plus (from the LenZmen rap group), Drew Spence (Producer’s Edge Magazine), Xodus Phoenix (instrumentalist) and Domino Grey (Electronic music producer). These are instrumentals and beats designed for your listening pleasure.

At the end of 2023, I completed FM in Blue: Radio Daze. That is the Jazz-Hop album from Domino Grey featuring Donna S. The Dynamic Universe’s Griffin Avid created animated videos foe every record and then we strung them together in one full album mix. You can go watch that here.

Then, we made a full-length mix of the Domino Grey Butterfly Affect series, the Complete Collection. That used cascading colors and swirling swathes of liquid coolness. You can enjoy that mix here.

I developed a real interest in wanting to see a compilation of my works in a long-play visual form. I chose something in-between animation and a wallpaper presentation for the Fallout Shelter Elevator Music Series. The Fallout Shelter is a combination of all the producers under The Dynamic universe. There’s Dynamics Plus, who produces The LenZmen, Domino Grey, the electronic Musician, Drew Spence the Producer and Graphic Artist, and Xodus Phoenix, the instrumentalist.

The Elevator Music series is a combination of beats, instrumentals, bumpers, loose noodling, and whatever else Griffin Avid (the Mixing and Mastering/Media personality) finds on a hard drive that sounds ready. I put these out digitally some time ago, and have recently been told that heads stream these joints on Spotify. It made sense to add them to the long-play visual format. That’s how we got here.

The images were generated (mostly) using Runway AI and then combined in Adobe Photoshop. Additional plug-ins were used to add effects, overlays, color-grading, resizing etc. Corel Painter (and some of the plug-ins) were used to draw over some sections of the pictures.

The Beats to Studio, Be Creative and Productive combine the Elevator Music Series Volumes:

I BASSment Level

Somewhere underground, there is a fortified bunker. Within these walls, the structure of sound is manipulated under the watchful eye of Doctor Atomics. Breaking the silence of solitude is the voice of Amy Fiona Lexington, an advanced Self Aware Digital Entity, charged with the balancing of applied harmonics. She is the guardian companion of scientist and track architect Dynamics Plus.

II Grind Floor

Electronic Specialist Domino Grey uses his sonic footprint to layer additional melodic, semi-periodic content. The Xodus Phoenix adds his low-grain yield to compliment the aural decay. The StudioAVX Sound Designer Griffin Avid defines the molecular composition and assembles the final elements in ordered sequence. This is presented by Dynamica Music. This is Audio for a Futuristic Vision.

III Going Down

Four producers, lower floor, lots of music. The Fallout Shelter drops another load. This is what happens when you keep pressing the down arrow.

IV Pet House (+ the Down on All Fours special)

Only the best. Top shelf and top choice for the top level. It’s not a penthouse, it’s a Pet House.  When pent up emotions are explored, beautiful people meet with beautiful beats, bumpers and bangers  with Domino Grey, Dynamics Plus, Drew Spence and Xodus Phoenix.

Domino Grey X Donna S FM in Blue Radio Daze

Music producer Domino Grey and the multi-instrument musician Donna S return with the album FM in Blue: Radio Daze. The first offering in this new series delivers music that reaches across many genres and styles. The sound is as dynamic and animated as their avatars, a visual representation that spans all ages and matches their moody and melodic meanderings. It’s beautiful beats behind soulful and sultry saxophone solos.

Domino Grey, Producer:

I guess the Radio Daze story could start with Dream Field. I was at a beach party watching Donna S perform with a band and I thought, ” Man, I would love to make something with her.” I sent her some of my electronic music and Fallout Shelter beats and asked her if she wanted to jam over them. Our first record came out on Domino Grey: Back in the Black. “Melody Diagnosis” was really a standout and we both knew that we had done something special there.

I had good success behind the Butterfly Affect series so that was another project she was able to feature on. So now, I have Donna really groovin over my electronic stuff and doing great work over the beats. Fallout Shelter is the title I release all my instrumentals under. I did a series called Elevator Music and that lo-fi Hip Hop vibe was a perfect fit for Donna’s sax play.

Dream Field is a real retro thing. I wanted to evoke those old 70s albums with those idyllic album covers. I mean, some of those records are from my earliest days making music. So for me, it was a real trip hearing those super-old beats in a fresh context. We’re talking music from the early 90s coming out in 2015. Although it wasn’t from the 70s, it hit a heavy old-school nerve with me. We recorded Dream Field in my home studio, the Fallout Shelter, on Long Island, New York.

Donna S moved to California some years ago, so we stayed in light contact and would always talk about someday doing another Dream field. She wanted to work on Lo-Fi material, but at the time I was working on comic art, teaching CGI storytelling and producing rap records. I wasn’t even sure how we could get the synergy back long-distance. We Zoomed it up a few times, jammed live and worked out some ideas. Then I’d send her tracks to see what she’s feeling. She’d send back sketches or full-length performances. From there, it’s just producer stuff and arranging and mixing and finishing the compositions.

We spent some time working out the name for the project. We both kinda accepted that any kind of ‘Dream Field II’ didn’t make sonic sense. This project don’t sound like that. I told her I wanted a color and that’s all I got. ha! The FM in Blue: Radio Daze is a nod to my childhood experiences with listening to music on my parents home stereo system- and my early production being so sample-based and recording-sourced.

We finished the album at the end of 2023 and I used Daz Studio to create our avatars for the album artwork. And, we just finished combining all of the music videos into one long mix. You can listen to the entire album as a string of visual stories. I do think this is some of my best work and we are very proud of this album. I hope you enjoy it was much as we did making it. Thank you for all your support.

Our music is available for purchase and streaming wherever fine digital music is sold. Thank you for your support.

The Lenzmen -Heartbeat Video drops

Lenzmen “Heart Beat” on YouTube

Lenzmen: Centri, Dynamics Plus, Earthadox, Dokta Strange. circa…, man a long time ago.

Heartbeat is from the Lenzmen album Scientific Community and Magnify Lenz (double album)

Inspiration came from the Treacherous Three “Feel the Heartbeat” (1981). I reworked the break and added all the other musical elements. We also did some humming in the background. The video uses the 3D models of the Lenzmen, animated in Daz Studio, and synced to a new acapella (Using Studio ID) and then run through an AI filter. Any non-animated elements were generated from scratch. All graffiti was hand drawn in Procreate. I say this looks like what you’d see scribbled in one of my rhyme books.

Lenzmen music is available for purchase and streaming on all digital platforms.

New Video: Dynamics Plus “Landing Site for the Dynamic Entity

New video from The Dynamic Universe Volume 02 Foresight Wars. It’s track 03 “Landing Site for the Dynamic Entity”.

Landing Site for the Dynamic Entity

– written by Dynamics Plus

At 66 thousand miles per second, breaking hyperspace, I’m detected:

Projective, moving at high speeds.

Wide spread panic grips the planet.

Dynamics, astral galactic travel.

Projected lines of impact:

in N.Y.C., contacting lyricists and scientific emcees.

Starman with a Star Brand as cosmic dust is hourglass sand.

Mantis-1, mothership lands at Belmont Lake,

Her running lights pulsate,

Her bells make tones.

Lenzmen, now existing the black zone.

An extra dimension, inner-mind space dominion connection.

My Mantis-1, riding around Orion’s gate watching-

the Silver Surfer and Galactus argue over a planet’s fate.

See my stargazing collection, Phoenix is star-blazed on a plate.

I’m breaking through your atmosphere,

body-surfing on solar flares.

My Gyruss, gyrating, radar-evading, a-shaped,

an a-shaped disappears, what appears to be an

a-shaped spaceship reappears, it’s followed by flashing lights-

swallowing the whole metropolitan-

leaving everything leveled

 in an eleven-mile-wide valley

leading up to its landing site-

where all the scientists tally the effects of my Foresight.

My mind, my mind’s actions crack the strata,

setting off chain reactions.

Matter touches anti-matter,

I’m splashing in lava pits.

Gravitational fields of instability as the earthen plates shift.

You inner-inability, (me)ntally Alien ET entity

entering quickly, visually changing density-

(men)tally mentioning eventually.

Lenzmen existing extending exponentially

by the turn of the century.

Driving off your resources with optic forces.

Crushing free electrons into Energons,

Plus, packed into pentagons.

I’m a dynamic emcee from Cybertron.

My atomic bomb split,

your brain’s grey matter rifts,

My time continuum tilts,

My lens tints, film I over-exposed

flows at your fingerprints.

Mental Flex:
reconnects the continents,

unconscious God exists,

I’m turning, twisting fuel emissions.

Force centrifugal, foresight, science force

throws off your satellites, misalign, miss.

Missile guidance systems are off course.

The fabric of space unrolls,

the outer core blows,

colors collect in kaleidoscopes,

Captain Dynamics Plus space-folds

as the planet explodes, cirrus, starcluster, bust stardust.

Memories and glowing comet dust for all those to see.

–

I’m Captain Dynamics Plus, my starship

The Mantis-1 drifts through the comet dust

to explore galaxies. So, remember me,

Captain Dynamics Plus: Stardust Memories

Video Release Domino Grey Much Ado About Nothing

Artist: Domino Grey Song “Much Ado About Nothing” Originally released on the Extended Play -Butterfly Affect II Pretty Imposter Album Note: They had never met in person and finally agreed to have dinner. He sat down and waited. The girl looked nothing like her profile and he was pleasantly surprised. She used a fake picture to make sure guys were interested in her for the right reasons. Domino Grey adds a Pretty Imposter to the Butterfly Affect series. Deep House, Electronica and techno cuts abound. 01 Much Ado About Nothing [La Cocina Redux] 128 Bpms

So we released a video for this record and I got a mature content notice from YouTube.

My video for Domino Grey “Lonely Angel” had the comments automatically turned off by YouTube. It said it was done, in part, to protect creators- due to the sensitive nature of the content. This is a new thing for us, but I guess a hint of suicide and religion hits a nerve. I didn’t see what was off in “Much Ado About Nothing” as I’ve seen way worse in other videos. Maybe Bots or AI tripped over the video. We won’t be worrying about this. Maybe it is Much Ado About Nothing.

VIDEO Release The Big Dynamic Robot Show Episode I

So yes, in the zone we’re in- making videos for lots of records. This video is for Lenzmen Dynamics Plus, off the Doctor Atomics and the Fortress of Solitude album. It came out in 2005, physical copies and digital. We had some great reviews for the release. Years later, we’re making a video. As you’ve seen there’s a good number of tools at play. Runway AI does the transition from image to image using their Image Interpolation tool. Studio d-id is the clip where Doctor Atomics speaks. You might have recognized that effect from the “Lonely Angel” video from Domino Grey. Some VFX are custom clips done straight in Adobe Premiere and others are from a site that sells clips.

The Big Dynamic Robot Show Episode I

Daz Studio does the heavy lifting as the source of all characters and animation. Video upscaling was done with Topaz Video AI. The comet in the opening was done with GENMO. Runway AI was back with Gen-1 for the knocked out “dream sequence”. Oh and Ron Deviney (A vendor in the Daz Store) pretty much gets credit for any effect that wasn’t animated. No, wait, I hand drew the lasers in Photoshop and Griffin Avid did all the graphic effects. Thank you for your support.
