Posting accordion work and a album in progress!

"Nearly Live" is going to be a commercial grade album with me mainly playing Keyboards, Pianos, Accordion and doing vocal works and all composition and lyric writing. This is an example of one of my singles from the new album, which is still a rough copy, but sounds really good anyway. This ones called "Space Fantasy" http://www.newgrounds.com/audio/listen/761465

My accordion song developing as a single is called "Why don't you remember me?" https://soundcloud.com/exedistmusic/dont-you-remember-me-anymore-accordion-and-vocal

There's "Garden Party" also to be released a single at the time that I release the album! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZtHFA2lyMEU

Lots of progress!

So firstly I'm now starting to do a open collaboration with a band of mates called "Infektera" which is pretty well established metal and death metal group. They have been going for the last decade...

Andy is the guitarist and is also the brains behind "Inferktera", I've given him the chance to play guitar and get their lead singer to do some work on the extended edition anyway as I've already released "Heartless" the other day and it's doing fairly well with sales, and it scored position number nine on Mixcloud in the Metal charts. The other day I also released "Exedist Sings" which is available on Amazon and Spotify. Again its not doing badly and is selling albeit a bit slowly, probably as I'm known as a Electronic artist and there's a lot of new wave, brit pop and other stuff on there as well (its a compilation album! of many different likable genres, and a few fusion in there for good measure. 

This morning I release a new dance/trance track which is here: "The Vortex '17 Remix" its a remix of a track by me best friend Daniel Levitt. He composed it an original track back in 2006, and it's had quite a few iterations and remixes of it done. This is me playing everything in live on keyboards, while using soft synths for all the sounds (which I mainly used a VST called Vanguard by ReFX (its no longer available as they made it into a new VST synth which I've used and it has a different sound, I really like using Vanguard and have been using since 2005!).

I've also been making new accordion pieces which I'm making towards a accordion album of my best and catchiest of my works, on here I would like to share this piece: "Garden Party!" and one I did today which I did on accordion and hammond organ: "Shining in the Moonlight". Both tracks have vocals by me, I like singing and playing accordion at the same time... 

I also did a two covers in the couple of days, the first is a band piece by "Beirut" called "Nantes", this is my doing a very opera style vocal to it: "Nantes"

The last one is a cover of Andrew Lloyd Webbers Phantom of the opera "All I ask of you": "All I Ask of You, Practice edition"

Double whammy! Two new albums coming out in the next few weeks!

Two albums, one is a compilation called "Exedist Sings" the other is a rock, electro-industrial and metal album called "Heartless". 

These albums will be available on Spotify, Amazon, iTunes, Deezer and Google music. Both are compilations of some of my most popular work in the last six months, and has taken a lot of planning to get this release right! Heartless is seven tracks and is around $4.99 and Exedist Sings is nineteen tracks and will be $9.99. I still have to get full approval from mastering artist, and after I will become available throughout the English speaking world...Heartless has already before been released as a test bootleg on Mixcloud and got really good reviews, Exedist Sings the majority of the work had been before released through Newgrounds, music portal and again got pretty good reviews, accolades and awards (front paged and featured music of the day). Pretty much all the tracks have vocals on them which different from my other albums before which were pretty much all instrumentals, with the odd vocal track in there. After seeing what did and didn't sell over six months I've built new albums with completely original music and tracks which actually want to hear. I've also extensive re-training and research and created sounds from the 70's up to the mid 00's, and I've been inspired by legends like Giorgio Moroder and Trevor Horn, and greatly improved on the sounds of my overall tracks and mixes. 

Any way more information to come when it becomes available, and I hope everyone likes my newer releases!

New project post getting back from seeing Jean Michel Jarre play live

TSCHERNOBYL

This is the first track I would like to share, its named as such as its based on sounds that I’ve created after listening extensively to Kraftwerk. Other sounds were inspired by the following artists: Jean Michel Jarre; Oxygene and Equinox, Vangelis; Blade Runner and Daft Punk; Tron Legacy and Random Access memories. All sounds were made in a VST (software synthesizer) called Vanguard, which is fairly old, but I’ve been able to make some interesting sounds and primarily used Vanguard on this track. If you like to leave me a comment as I would love to make more tracks like this but only if there was interest from people. You can hear the track here: Tschernobyl

CREATION

This next again built up using custom sounds in Vanguard. I composed this on paper on holiday last month and only got around to producing it. Its again inspired by Kraftwerk. You can listen to that here: Creation

FEEL THE WAY I DO

This was made on and for piano, it’s a piano ballad with me on microphone, I made this track to play live, but with someone else singing. This made using Eightyeight piano VST by Air gmbh. But I played every thing in live plus I did all the drums on the Akai MPC Studio Black. Feel the way I do

DON’T TAKE ME BACK (OXFORD)

I lived in a care home for two years as social services thought that the right thing for me, even though I was capable of living by myself, my parents had legal attorney over me through the courts, until I was eighteen. This was all due to my Asbergers Syndrome diagnoses, as soon as my eighteenth birthday came I escaped and started a friends house where I got a room as a house share. Oxford house was the name of the care home. This song was written a few months later. I’ve played this one live a few time and was of our set last year. This is the studio recording: Don’t take me back (Oxford)

MY DOWNFALL

This is one of my hit tracks from last year, it’s been on regular rotation on our tour at the beginning of this year, which I did with old band mates, and we played five gigs. This I wrote when I had a near death experience last year, this piece took about a week to compose and record, its got light vocoded vocals and we are redoing it with our new singer for live work which may come in about two to three months time. My Downfall

STABBED IN THE BACK

I made this track at the weekend, I hope you guys like. Stabbed in the back

This is going to be a regular thing on here, so check back on how things going and I’ll update with progress on the new album, preparing our new stage set and with dates of gigs and where. This will be my fifteenth studio album and we are going to make it the best one yet.
