Do Not Hold The Doors (a Sound Transit music video)

I made a Sound Transit piano. I don't know why I did it, but I did. So then I wrote a song. Then I made a video for that song. I have no regrets.

The samples were from a public disclosure request by Kevin Wallace back in 2016. He requested all the audio files from Sound Transit's light rail service, and then posted the files online. I for some reason took those files and dropped them into the Cubase drum sampler Groove Agent so that I could play Samantha's robotic voice on my piano. My train-loving four year old had a good time playing it. So did I.

After spending some time with the tracks, I realized that Samantha sure talks a lot about doors. So I made a song about them. Then I took videos from the Sound Transit YouTube account and mixed those into a music video.

Here's a making-of video about the process:

If you make your own Sound Transit song, be sure to post it in the comments below! I'd love to hear it.
