Feel The Love

By 1 Comment

This is my latest synth based tune, it’s quite catchy and hopefully uplifting. As usual I’ve written, played, mixed and produced everything myself. I’ve done the vocals myself but disguised by a Vocoder. Note my vocals are just a rough idea to how the song is sung and would sound substantially better with a proper singer!

Here are my lyrics on the intro –

I’m standing on the dance floor
I’m reaching for the stars
I’m waiting for the big beat
To start the first few bars

I might be high on drinking
I might be too far gone
But here is what I’m thinking
I think I love – everyone

Wasted Time Remix

By Leave a Comment

Wasted Time is a catchy and driving poptastic song written by Danny Lowe, one of Sheffield’s most talented musicians. Danny put a rough version of this song on Youtube with a simple drum machine beat and a big bass guitar part with effects on it. I liked it straight away. Luckily he was happy to send me wavs of the bass and vocal track to play with.

I tried to use the original bassline but with all those effects and distortion on it was just too massive to tame covering every frequency and masking anything else I tried adding. So I decided to split the great bassline up into several layered synths covering different frequencies. I also created full percussion in midi, added various other keyboards, and did a little rearranging adding a few stops and a middle 8 instrumental section. The main guts of the song though remain Danny’s original melodies.

Hiroshima

By Leave a Comment

A musical-documenting of a horrific event in World War 2 contrasting an almost smug American announcement of the bombing of Hiroshima with the more factual and solemn descriptions by a radio announcer later. Set to my original music which is suitably dark in feel and tone. I play all guitars, bass and keyboards plus all drums painstakingly created in BFD3.

Jazz Groove Live Fantasy

By Leave a Comment

I love working in totally different genres. This is an experiment to see if I can write and produce a piece of music with a laid back jazz feel. I play all music myself on keyboards, with percussion created in midi and keyboard too. I ended up making it a “live” performance with efforts to have many of the instruments quite lazy and not necessarily a perfect “studio” performance – more like how a decent live gig might go. The whole piece was created around the bass line, which as with a lot of my music came first.

I spent a lot of time and practice trying to make the brass and wind instruments sound authentic and to give a feel of a chilled out band playing live.
