Feel The Love

May 27, 2015 By Andy Trigg 1 Comment

This is my latest synth based tune, it’s quite catchy and hopefully uplifting. It’s only a demo at this stage. 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

January 31, 2015 By Andy Trigg 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

December 22, 2014 By Andy Trigg 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

July 30, 2014 By Andy Trigg 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.

Feel The Rhythm of the Bassline

June 28, 2014 By Andy Trigg Leave a Comment

This is my latest demo track featuring me on on slap bass and vocals (processed by Vocoder). I play everything else you can hear on keyboards and all percussion created in midi.
