Thanks for the kind words leber_wurst,C.Bull, Bloodsample,CliffK. I don't play out much, so its nice to get positive feedback. I posted a couple of new tunes on YouTube, Dolphin

Dance on acoustic piano, and Route 66 done on Roland 700SX using Jazz Scat, which is a hilarious patch done solo, IMO.

[sincere Apologies for the "cross-post". I got turned around in my browser and started a NEW thread on this when I wanted to add it here in this thread.]

 

Just finished up the tune "Proof" and would appreciate any and all feedback.

Are you kidding? Those are some pretty hot licks !

 

Nice work.

Okay, that's killer! I'm always happy to hear someone nail it, but even moreso when its from "just" one or two synths. Solid proof that a single workstation CAN deliver the goods, even though none of us would argue that at least a LITTLE more gear is always desirable, heh. Very evocative and very well rendered. You can really smell the pirate!

Some inspiring stuff on HERE, especially the piano works. That's one prime way to display chops.

 

I did this within Cubasis VST on a lone Korg 01Wfd, over a nice Acid loop sent to me by a pal. I'm so in love with this synth, I'd marry it if it was legal in my state.

Ok, I'm sneaking one on here, don't tell my buddy, keep it secret, keep it safe. I set up a little myspace page for odds and ends. This is a ruff mix of a song going on the next cd. I'll re-do the little piano solo "chunky" part, not really my type of playing but I try. I just think the cool is song...or something like that.

More for you consideration. I'm helping my son with a computer game he's programming and this is the first piece of music I've composed and recorded for him. It's a bit dark and spooky, it uses an Alesis Ion for the wierd lead lines, a Roland JV1080 for the phase shifted pad and an Ensoniq SD1 for the rest. It's somewhat of a work in progress, but I'm having too much fun with digital recording to not subject you kind folks to my noodlings. Comments always welcome. Enjoy!

Ok, here is something completely different from me. My buddy was messing around in c and f, I threw on this quirky little melody and away we went. It hasnt been properly EQD, mixed and all of that yet as we need to do vocals yet. Its sort of repetitive but if you stick it out there is some different stuff towards the end. The piano, organ, chimes, strings and trumpet are all done on the RD700SX. Not sure about the trumpet sound, but that can be tinkered with.suggestions? Ive got another new one too but it isnt popping up for some reason.

The link below brings you another original piece of mine titled "Red Sand Desert". The into is from an Alesis Ion, main pad is from a Roland JV1080 and everything else was sequenced in my Ensoniq SD1.

 

Red Sand Desert

 

Inspiration for the title came from this photo, taken south of Riyadh, Saudi Arabia in July 1982:

Nice work.

 

i didn't even notice your compliment, it had been so last since i had posted the last batch i stopped checking. Thank you so much for the encouragement.

 

I actually listened to your tracks the other day, and while that is not particularly my favorite genre of music, it makes me want to quit trying to improv simple songs with my sax player and actually write out some charts and do some real work. Very inspiring and impressive work.

Hi there!

I'm a long time reader first time poster here,

I just thought I'd post some of my work:

www.BTEMusic.com

 

Visit the audio page for more songs- I was the songwriter, producer, instrumentalist, and also mixed all the songs you hear. Had them on Top 40 in central IL and Saint Louis for awhile, among others.

In response to comments and constructive criticism of my previously-posted song "Red Sand Desert" comes the remix:

Red Sand Desert revisited

 

Same keyboards in use here, but the melody line gets some new sound programs and a better fit into the overall mix. Hope you like the results...comments always welcome.

OK, here's some junky tunes FOR FREE :D from an album I recorded last year, using only Casio home keyboards from the 80s. Yes, that's been done many times before, but not this terribly. :)

 

Prefixes From Outer Space (5.83 MB)

A Lovely Day At Fleece Beach (3.91 MB)

Springing (3.08 MB)

Small Systems / Extension Mechanism (13.4 MB; this is actually 2 songs)

Escape Via Interdimensional Gateway (8.96 MB)

 

Check out the file sizes before you download, mainly if you're on dial-up. Right now, I don't remember exactly which Casios I used for a specific part, but it was some combination of MT-68, MT-400V, MT-70, DM-100 and RAP-1 (the Rapman!) I do know that "Springing" is entirely MT-400V. And for "Extension Mechanism" I used the sampling section of the DM-100 to record and playback samples of "Small Systems."

 

This music is very dry, well, totally dry sounding, as there's no effects (except for some compression and a touch of EQ on the overall mix.) I wanted a fairly authentic Casio sound quality.

 

Finally, there's no crazy cutting or pasting or level envelopes or anything, just live playing from the Casios. EXCEPT, I did make the Casio drumbeats into loops just to make it easier on me. There is, of course, a lot of layering of parts going on.

 

Now, none of this makes the music any good -- it's still pretty weak -- but I just wanted to give a bit of background into my intentions for the music. Thanks for reading this! And maybe for listening, too! Hopefully no one gets bored to death from this post or the music! :)
