Music News – New Album; Mind The G.A.P.
Music News
23/06/2024 - New Album; Mind The Gap
When making music I like to have a focus point and that means some sort of concept behind it this is my first proper attempt at making an instrumental concept album about a man and later on down the line the world’s demise. I won’t give away the plot as I have made an eBook and an audiobook of the story I wrote around the events of what went on so I’ll leave a link to both below but it has a few twists and turns. Mind The G.A.P. which is short for government against people was from an old album I made and wasn’t happy with so I reused the name for the story and concept album as it fitted into the story which is partly on a train. I had fun making the intros which are on all the tracks and I used free samples from Pixabay and my own collection of synth plugins which vary from the Aturia Collection and the Korg Collection which I used quite a lot on the album. I tried to make the album a bit dystopian feel to it thanks to the heavy machinery and I also tried to set the scene for the intros which I had fun doing even though it was sort of a pain collecting samples for the bigger picture but I’m happy with all of them. As I said I won’t go into detail for this album as there are a few things attached like the audiobook and eBook but overall I would call it a synthy Electronic album inspired by Hip Hop drums, Reggae, Dub and Electronic music. It gives me a good excuse to get the keyboard out and play something instead of doing it by hand or playing bare minimal notes which is fun but I like my songs to have variations. It’s a mixed batch of BPMs so there are fast, medium and slow tracks that aren’t for dancing but to have on in the background while you are doing your stuff. I finished this album in four days or though I was writing the story and picking suitable photos for the eBook even though I scrapped them and went for my friend’s lovely drawings for illustration purposes. It’s funny as after my many anxiety dreams I’ve had a lot of inspiration from my nuclear dreams and made a few things around it. I don’t even know what it all means apart from I’m worried about some sort of nuclear attack happening but I’m still not taking the threats that seriously not as much as the internet tells us it’s all doom and gloom. Also, it talks about the careless government and their uncaring but I’m caring side that got a lot of people into trouble. It’s funny as I knew there was going be some sort of hoo-ha with the government which is why I made my first version of Mind The G.A.P. which was all about mocking the government and warning people not to trust them so in short don’t trust them if it’s the last thing you do. It’s like it was in the making and was all planned out and I don’t know what it was but I should have been more vocal in the lead-up to the Brexit row which severed the UK into half. The world is now an ugly place with people like Trump, Boris and even other countries who are now being plagued with rotten and greedy governments who are not for the people no matter how much they claim to be complete hogwash for sure. Part of me is wondering if these people just want to be elected to get rich off the poor and by the looks of things that is what happening so do try and remember your own feelings and others around you before you hit that ballot box cos I don’t want to hear any sighs once they been elected. I don’t care anyway we are doomed either way it’s like picking the lesser evil in a bid to get what we desire come to find out it’s all based on lies and temptation to get us the voters to vote. It does get me angry and that is why I stay away from the news and newspapers when I can it’s too many lies and cover-ups some make me really mad and don’t get me started on the double standards they have the newspapers, outlets and government.

Music News – New Single; Dimmed Lights
Music News
17/05/2024 - New Single; Dimmed Lights
More Jungle/Drum and Bass music with this quick single I made quite a while ago now and found the original version on my computer so I thought I’d make a single by adding two more tracks. There were actually four to make it a EP but I had to take it off but hopefully I’ll be allowed to add it on another single, EP or even album. I made the original track and the first track on the single in summer of 2021 around and was my chilled Jungle/Drum and Bass track to have on in the summer. It was like you were in a heatwave and you are chilling on a country field enjoying the heat and don’t forget your summer hat ladies lol. I used the synth plugin Omnisphere for those synths sounds, it has some really nice sunny type sounds that are perfect for those summer chill out tracks and also for winter I think they have some diverse sounds on them even though it is expensive but most treasured synth plugins to use for summer and winter beats and you heard it hear first lol. I called the single Dimmed Lights as the first and the original track had that dimmed light feel to it plus I believe she’s saying light all over the track so I added that as well. It’s funny as it’s also was a note to myself to change the light bulb in my life as things were getting dim and I could no longer see in the past no more. As I keep saying it all feels like a blur and a past memory but so much has changed over the decades and whilst I was growing. It’s hard to pin point where the fun was really coming from as there was a lot going on at that time and the world was a oyster for talented and business savvy people who ceased the day and hit it big. I also think the government has ruined some things and made it harder to have fun they kept adding new laws which later diminished the fun and all the activity that was going on around the 1980s up to the mid 2000’s when everything capsized so that’s the other reason behind the title Dimmed Lights. This is the last one I’ve made that is up for release so it’s back to making more singles, EPs and albums I think I’ll do another House EP since people like them with more Synthwave and general synthy beats to come in the next couple of months so please stay tuned. The first track as I said was the original track I made around 2019 and is one for those summer barbecues and hot sticky days. It’s a relaxing pace track with melodic chimes and a deep bass with a overlay of House vocals which I used for this Jungle/Drum and Bass track. It’s perfect to have on in the background for any event and is also good for concertation if you are studying or even reading it make you read 10 times quicker as long as it’s not blasting that is. It’s my favourite on the single and I like the relaxing chimes and the vocals over the beat which I think suits it quite well, I also like the bass which helps the concertation of the beat. The next track Dimmed Light (Remix) is the club version and is the danceable track I made around a couple of months ago and is one for those hot days dancing if you ain’t too hot. I used the same instruments changing some of them to make it sound a little different from the first track. I used a Reggae sample pack for those skank keys and also I got the bass from there too and for the piano I used a original House key that I found within the Reggae sample pack but I think it’s quite diverse and was used on both genres. The last track Dimmed Lights (The Break Remix) is another one for those steppers and runners. I think it’s a perfect track to get fit to whilst doing some steps around the house or even at the gym and you can also dance to it as it is a dance track. I arranged it a bit different to the other two using the same vocals and keys as the first one for a step it up track. I think is also perfect for those sunny days chilling in the garden or wherever and I got the breaks from Splice.com where as you should know by now where get all my samples from but also I got them from my own private collection I bought from Loopmasters.com.
