Music News – New EP; The Rough With The Smooth

07/08/2023 - New EP; The Rough With The Smooth

Another House EP I made about a month or two ago now but I just released it. The summer is nearly over so I probably start concentrating on doing more synths stuff and maybe my winter albums sometime. I still don’t know what to do whether it be Christmas or just winter or both who knows? I did my Halloween album for this year and can be found on all major platforms it’s called Tales Of The Darkside. I named the EP Rough with the Smooth as of course in life that’s how it is and I’ve done a full circle and came back the other way due to my mental health and the stresses of the jobs I was doing at the time. It was either staying and getting paid for what I enjoy doing in life or retiring early and working on my mental health and recovering from an already stressful world but on the possibility of me coming back and doing it again as the door was always open. I choose my mental health as I thought I could recover and come back and to be honest, this was in the 2000s by the way but it all vanished from my mind and I only remembered a couple of years ago when I was thinking back to the 2000s and before that. It was after the September 11th attacks the world got a bit downhill and things were being cancelled or put on hold which is when I was the most active but I saw the funding for things go down the drain and people lose their jobs it was quite stressful. I’m not that actual cut-throat when it comes to getting the job some people are just overbearing but at the same time, they do have their reasons. This is how I learned to take the rough with the smooth and not feel hard done by or take pity on myself as I never and I thought after all those years from the early 90s to 2005 I should take a rest as I always was on the go and living a happy and vibrant life. Now I like to stay in I used to have my dog Patch but I had to put her down due to old age which is another rough with the smooth outcome as I knew she wouldn’t live forever but I do miss her and going out a lot with her I live near to the country in the outskirts of Bristol in the UK so it was nice to get out and walk the country. Once I got stuck up a tree when the cows decided to charge me so I ran with my dog and kept her on the tree as I was taking pictures of my dog in her own world as she sat up the tree. In the end, I took charge and climbed down as they wouldn’t go then they decided to chase me down to the entrance where I escaped, she was a good dog though and I vow never to get another one because she was that good. I like to wake up every day with something new to do and that is something I am lacking at the moment which is something I would like to improve on but apart from being on the computer day and night it gets boring I like to get out there and do something new or old.

Playroom VST [FREE DOWNLOAD

PLAYROOM VST PLUGIN [FREE DOWNLOAD]

I’m back with another synthesizer VST plugin for Windows and Mac and of course another free download for you. I made this one with toys I got from the charity shops and put my own twists and turns to the sounds which of course I enjoyed doing the most. I had some toys lying around already so I decided to get some more and get creative with it and twiddle with the sounds for different FXs and sounds. Of course, the toys will be going back to the charity shop now I have finished with them and I thought it was a perfect way to shop and have fun as I love charity shopping it’s always fun to look for something you don’t even know you are looking for or want but I always come out with some good stuff even though it just tack. If I was older and collected records I probably be at the local charity shops a lot more looking for those gems but I’m more tape deck myself. I used a lot of FXs like reverb, delay, flanger, compression and other FXs to mould the sounds and to get them to sound different from what came out of the box I am satisfied with the sounds that I made but some could be a lot better I must admit. I would describe this plugin for electronic-based genres like House, Vaporwave, Jungle/Drum and bass, Techno, Synthwave and gaming music but I think you could use it for anything and hopefully is diverse in sound and options. But I think it could make some alright old-school House and Jungle/Drum and Bass vibes with this plugin. I’ve tested it out and there is something retro about it probably because they are all old toys. The toys were all from different charity shops and I looked for toys that make noise and most importantly electric based as you get some good samples from the toys that are electric based, unlike the analogue ones. I like to think that I’m killing two birds with one stone so to speak as it’s helping the needy and vulnerable whilst doing what I love which is making music and making music from everyday objects, I mean it could be anything as long as it makes a noise I can manipulate the sound to make it sound different and not like what you heard when you first played it. My favourite way to experiment is with everyday objects that somehow I get a good tone out of after a bit of caressing the sounds with various FXS and plugins that is. I have a Tascam which is a voice recorder that comes in handy every now and then but it’s what I used to record the sounds with and then load onto my computer. It’s a bit annoying as it’s a mini SD card and I had to buy a special device to transfer audio with but the fine wine of having such gadgets makes life a lot easier even though you have to find the stick and put it in but not to bad I suppose. I did run into some trouble with some of the sounds but I managed to save the best sounds and do what I could with them. I describe the synth plugin as being rough sounding for those edgier tracks. It took two days to make plus the GUI art which I also made with the plugin called Romplur which makes it easier to make VSTs.

Music News – New EP; Catch Me At Recess

Music News

27/07/2023 - New EP; Catch Me Recess

I made another House EP of Dancy tracks so more of the same as I seem to have gotten back into the habits of making rave tracks or what I call House/rave tracks. The EP is House but with two Break tracks which I sandwiched in between the other two tracks on the EP. I called it Catch Me At Recess as yet again more childish petty behaviour and mostly to Brexit but I won’t get into it but I will say this there seems to be a lot of monkies laying around who are quick to call themselves racist like it’s fashionable or a fashion statement. I don’t know what’s up with this earth we live on I know what I did and I know what I saw or heard and doing my own fact-checks on things is how I get to the bottom of things but people will lie for clout and this so-called power. Honestly, we are living with power-mad junkies who want to lord it over the normal people or so say, normal people. It’s not even the ones in power it’s this cancel culture we now live in and too many people with time on their hands. I mean to cancel someone they need to be the worst person out there and what I see is people with their opinions getting shouted out for believing something that mostly makes sense to any normal person. Don’t get me wrong I’m for change and for people to be heard and to change society one step at a time but when it turns into a shouting match it turns me off especially when it’s getting silly and weird. I like to have debates and be inappropriate sometimes it doesn’t make me a bad person and what I mean by it is mostly innocent as somehow I remove all the negativity out of it like the word spaz something I know isn’t a nice word to use but I mean you are having an unnecessary tantrum. I don’t really use slurs and especially racism but I never think disable people when it comes to the word spaz. I think we are living in a nanny state where the people in cotton wool jackets are patrolling the areas looking for someone to cancel or to go barny to. It’s kind of shocking how many outraged people there are maybe it’s the technology and the fact we now share everything actual that starts from scrapbooks or wedding and holiday photo collections everyone does or used to do. It’s shocking how many people rage on the streets and in shops there is nothing wrong with everyone losing it but there is such a thing as not causing too much of a scene I learned that the hard way and no I’m not a Karen. I’m not one to play childish games or be petty and I rather ignore it or talk about it as when I get mad I do get mad like Hulk mad and I don’t want to end up doing something stupid in the long run which is why I have my temper in check. I like to laugh a lot makes me happy and move but sometimes I’m not in the mood to be laughing and gun people down I wouldn’t do it in public like scream and shout and most of all act like a two-year-old. As I said I don’t play games and the haters can catch me at recess since we have gone into your time machine I have stolen from you but pushed you in and ended up in the school years of my life. It’s so sad to watch grown-ass people act like spoilt privileged brats.
