Hello, this is a post about my music, a bit about me and were I would like to go with my hobby!
Well to start off with, I've been playing instruments for over two decades now starting off with the trombone (which I learned up to grade 7), Violin (grade 3) and Piano Accordion (grade 5). I can play the piano o some moderate standard and this obviously includes keyboards and synthesizers (which I own a collection of 80's synths, a workstation keyboard and a upright piano). I've been composing music for maybe coming up fifteen years and I make all matter of music, not limited to EDM, Trance, Dubstep, pop, rock, electronica, Drum and Bass an everything in between (fusion styles are pretty cool!)
I mainly focus on making electronic music and make music most days, which I post to YT, Newgrounds, Soundcloud, Bandcamp, Facebook and many forums. Music is also my line of work as I'm a studio technician in my local city, which I've been doing since I left college (were I studied music technology and studio engineering).
I love playing the piano and have made all sorts of technical piano pieces, which I will give an example here:
http://www.newgrounds.com/audio/listen/701109 This is a technical piano piece which also uses the vocoder and I, like pretty much all my pieces programmed all the bass and drum lines.
I have quite a collection of different VST's which I've collected over the years, including Vanguard (my favourite EDM Synth), Junglist, Hydra and pentagon (which are vintage as VST's go), and my newer synths; Sylenth and Serum (the latter been good at Drum and Bass and dubstep sounds!)
Heres another piano and dance piece which I made a few months ago called "Like a Dream" which contains my vocals as well as knowledge of 90's trance: http://www.newgrounds.com/audio/listen/700200
I'd also like to share one of my heavy hitting EDM pieces called "Concept" which has a massive build up and was a bit of a nause to master: http://www.newgrounds.com/audio/listen/700566.
I also Occasionally release remixes of previous work which has done well on the portal, this one is my latest one called "wannabe dance", the original clocking up about three hundred views in a week (which I d0on't think is very bad) and spawning off several remixes.
I also do soundscapes using my Kontakt 5 libary of strings, brass and pads: http://www.newgrounds.com/audio/listen/702254 and http://www.newgrounds.com/audio/listen/701992
This is an example of my Accordion work (this is an original piece by me which I made about five years ago and only just have got around to recording it, and I think its come out fairly well!): http://www.newgrounds.com/audio/listen/701491
This is an example of my rock style of music which I occasionally do, maybe once every couple of months!
This is an example of my drum and bass/dubstep work: http://www.newgrounds.com/audio/listen/703119
and for dubstep purists, heres more of a heavier dubstep tune called "The Sugar Plum Fairy", which has no relationship to the classical song of the same name: http://www.newgrounds.com/audio/listen/700864
This is Rap/hip hop, this one has a girly singing on it and I recorded this when I was at college, which I did most of the programming for as well as synth playing: http://www.newgrounds.com/audio/listen/703283
and then two remixes of other peoples works, The vortex: http://www.newgrounds.com/audio/listen/703311
and "Drumnbasscycle": http://www.newgrounds.com/audio/listen/703407
I'm currently working on a newer album of electronic music, which will be a freebie to who ever wants it.
I have taken inspiration from too many bands to mention; a couple of my favourite artists are ELO, Avicii, William Orbit, Ferry Corsten, etc...
I have tried to make most of my music my own style, and mainly get inspired by my older music...talking about older music I'll share with you one of my 2009 tracks called "The Story of Evil Edward" http://www.newgrounds.com/audio/listen/702555 This is actually one of my all time favourite tunes which I made and had done very well on the portal when I released it three/four weeks ago (about then anyway).
Im not 100% sure of what direction my music will take in the future, but when ever I release a good bit of music I'll add it to this forum post, as well as news of what i'm working on and news of collaborations (as well as requests of collaborations)
I hope this has been an enjoyable portfolio of my music and I don't get hated for profiling my music!
If you like a track leave a comment, I usually get back to people within a day or so, and i you want to add my music to your production or project, just ask me as its usually alright! I've collaborated with a few people in the past, which have used my music in their games and animations, which is pretty cool! I can also make music for you as well, just give me an idea of how you want it to sound and we can work something out.
Anyway enough of me, is there an questions or comments, I would love to here from you guys!
