With Micro done I intended to immerse myself in some instrument design for a while. But life being what it is I was offered a project straight away that yielded a double album with each of us taking a side. Using the time honored tradition of the faster tracks being on side one Peter gets…
Micro is a journey through the world that lies beneath the level we inhabit. These small creatures and their lives form the basis for the world we know. This music was written to the footage Mike Rosecope gave kind permission for me to use from his YouTube videos of the world beneath our sight. The Other…
Like the last album, “Waters Are My Sky” was written with a screensaver in mind. I actually started with the idea of using a fish tank screensaver for the Spaceship: Continuum album but space was what that record was. What you see in the video is Serene Screen’s Marine Aquarium 3.2. It is a fun…
SpaceShip : Continuum This is a companion (or sequel) to the similarly named SpaceShip album. The theme is essentially the same, of a group of people hopping on a spaceship to move to a new life on a new world. Where the first album was simple and hopeful, this one has some darker elements to balance…
Everything on a computer is pixel deep. There is nothing but our imagination beneath the pixels we see. Some people say that is a reason to consider music made on computers non-music. Even some musicians think that software instruments are not as real as those made of wood and tin (with circuits inside). I don’t…
The word Kron seems to have several (almost random) meanings in Urban parlance but here Kron refers to the Lord of Time, Chronos. Why I say this is because time is a commonly overlooked part of the creation of music. I have also covered some of what I will write here before in an article on…
In the last few weeks, I found myself talking to two talented singer/songwriters who both have issues with letting their talent out. These musicians are really trying to copy established acts instead of using their own unique voices. It makes them effectively unrecordable. Sure I could wack em on tape and hand over the masters and…
Yes, you probably read that title right; this post is about the difference between playing a whole Album and popping your whole collection into a Play All Songs Randomly mode. Now it is entirely probable that you are thinking “who cares” and working out what you want to click off to instead. Sure, you can…
I got handed this CD the other week by a guy I know. That guy is Tony from Gas Grooves and he is lucky he had the CD because I was about to give him some more grief for not having the CD yet. I was introduced to Tony by my brother who has a copy…
After yet another of the never-ending Reason doesn’t sound as good or “modern” as other DAWs or VST X, I threw down a challenge: What I would hope from this thread is not for more of that endless opinion (and sniping) but actual results. Can YOU deliver a comparable sound in a similarly simple Reason…
This post really has nothing to do with music. I write these as they help me get my thoughts straight. Also it is a way for me to communicate with the world. I have been looking a bit into MGTOW lately. That means Men Going Their Own Way. While it has suddenly exploded on YouTube,…
Well really that should be a “Piece” as without words it ain’t a Song, but that is the parlance and when in Rome, do Romans. This article is gong to be huge (over 3,100 words). This subject is so huge that people have written bibles on each part of this. I am glossing to try…
