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.
