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.

Hard Butter “Single” Mix

By 2 Comments

Snowdune - Hard Butter "Single" Mix Hard Butter is another one of my solo dance tunes. It’s taken from my 8 minute dance instrumental Hard Butter which I’ve decided to cut up and make at least two different tracks from. This is the first. It’s essentially the first 3 minutes of the original extended version but completely reworked, and with completely new percussion, and lots of other new and changed bits. It’s also a remix of one of my own tracks.

The only samples I’ve used are a couple of percussion samples, and the sound effect in the opening bars, all other percussion, and all music I’ve created or played myself.

Hard Butter (Extended Version)

Currently available free to download

Here is an extended mix and reworking of my track hard Butter (Single mix) which is within my synth instrumental style. This version is substantially different to my original. Play it loud and let yourself go. It has a few elements of trance though definitely not standard trance. The music develops nicely throughout the track so stick with it.

This is the first time ever a Snowdune track has been available for download so get it whilst it’s hot.

Bouncy Bouncy

This track is aptly named. You know it isn’t going to be serious but hopefully have expectations of something bouncy and happy. It reminds me of the computer game tunes of the 80s, the type of tune that often accompanied platform games which could stand repeating over and over again. It might fit into a platform or side scrolling computer game or even a quirky advert.
