Background artwork and image animation is also a part of a music composition. Artworks are made by different techniques, usually a template / pose image used and modified with different application as Corel draw, Corel Painter, Painter 5, Krita, Gimp and hand painting with touch sensible drawing tablet. Below a typical result can be seen.
A new ambient / relaxing music track with female vocal was released (2019 dec) - Ethereal Wisdom Below is a screen of the favorite DAW - Zynewave Podium and music production arsenal for recording and mixing this music. The image on the right is the background artwork. See more at RELEASES page
This is a normal view for mixing tracks. Different DAW is being used for recording and mixing. But sometimes recording and mixing are made in same application depends on the nature of the work. Below a different DAW can be seen for mixing. The recording was made in Podium.
Video editing: Favorite video editor allows export into various video formats and compression rates, very flexible. Some video files require video effects or titles need to be added.

Beyond the Forgotten Land New composition by Attila Sebo. This composition features custom designed sounds also. I did not want to follow the conventional path of epic music creating and “schemes”. The main goal was to create musically appealing yet simple but different composition with my “signature sounds” . A short screen video can be seen here about recording MIDI tracks of the beginning of this music. Later the recorded tracks transferred into Harrison Mixbus DAW for audio mixing, similar as can be seen below on image 2. Later I am going to share here more details. (Updated: 08 jan. 2021)
One of my sound demo was featured in a demo track for a new synthesizer - March 2021 One of my sound demo was featured in a demo track for a new synthesizer Warlock by Tone2 Audiosoftware It was nice to make the demo with this great synth !

Ambient Cinematic NewAge Atmospheric -between 3m55s – 4m25s section Demo were created using up to 4 instances of synthesizer with only one external EQ.

Saurus3 is an extremely authentic emulation of analog synthesizers. It was great to make sound demos for it. A combination of 2 screen shots of mixing can be seen below, and a typical screen of recording (2 nd image) DAW / audio mixing: Harrison Mixbus. For MIDI processing I used Zynewave Podium as well.
This unique piece is a collaboration project. Ethic instruments and custom designed ambient pads can be heard. Many thanks for Nick G Coward for the additional vocal concept and voices. Vocal: Nick G Coward Composed and produced by Attila Sebo
this shorter piece I used a combination of ethnic instrument, male and female vocals, trailer sounds with custom designed synthesizer patches. It was a fun to combine these elements, the result is hopefully unique, and fits for the background painting as well. and features combined ambient, cinematic elements and female vocal

Forever - DAW cast of new release
“Forever” is a sequel of the latest album “ In a dream“ This new age / relaxation music composition features the beautiful sound of alto flute and folklore music vocal phrases. I shared here the alto flute DAW track upon request. This composition features the following instruments and sound engines: 8dio Soundpaint Engine (Alto Flute and voice) Synthesizer sounds and FX: Tone2 Gladiator and Icarus. The alto flute track was played manually (many attempts for the desired result) using E-MU MIDI keyboard, and there were no major adjustments on MIDI track after.
