Latest News: My debut guitar instrumental album Delay hitting the streaming highway!

Like a British bus, you wait for a long time then two come at the same time, or close by; which has seen my debut guitar instrumental album Delay hitting the streaming highway!

The reason I called it Delay was because I've heavily used the delay effect on all of the instruments to a greater or lesser degree. 

I have put a lot into this album and it gave me a chance to experiment with different drum beats and mixing different drum kits and taking samples from my own performances on my electronic Alesis Compact Drum Kit 7 and mixing them all together for some interesting variations and styles added to each track.

I also experimented with using the effects and doubling them to the MAX! Creating some strange sounds but more importantly for me is to make my music accessible to you all!

The first track Breeze I picked the guitar strings with different strokes and added the delay effect to wrap around the drum beat.

I have for the first time programmed (but I can play the notes used on the keyboard) synthesizer parts on the reggae/dub composition of Marching, and accompanying the guitar riff on Slipping.

I actually forget I recorded quite a bit of lead guitar and was pleasantly surprised when reviewing my recordings to put into this album of the sweet lead guitar work, which has ended up on Humble, Floating, Bubbling, and Flowing.

Tracks that sound more like techno tunes, but are actually effects on my guitars and bass are Flux, Flexing, and Stomp, with different drum styles that could transcend across the music spectrum including rock and metal.

Anyway, don't take my word for it! Check it fans @Apple Music

Keep on Rockin'! 

 

Latest News: Brand new album released

Finally, my new album Attitude was completed and released on the 16th August 2021!

It was a challenguing project, beset with some technical problems, but overcoming them and producing an album I am proud of, gives you a great feeling of accomplishment.

It was more easier to quit this project and start another. But when you do this you'll end up not doing or completing very much in the end. 

Hope you all enjoy it! 

My album is available in pretty much most music sites in every country across the globe.  

Time to Catch Up!

 

Is that the time? 

Wow, things have flown by, especially when you are having so much fun! 

Well, a lot of things have been happening, so the following posts will inform you as to what has been happening. 

Now the Mixing Begins

 

Now the fun begins....

Each of the ten songs have had some mixing, EFX and EQ'ing, so just some minor work to finish each song ready to be mastered. 

Stay tuned my Rockin' fans!

An Overdue Update

 

It has been a very long time since I've posted an update in my progress on my sixth album.

Well, I have recorded all of the vocals since December through to the first week of January of this year.

All of the vocals have been placed in the correct place on each of the ten songs on the album.

What's Up....

 

Cannot believe it's been nearly three months and I haven't posted an update on what's going on!

I haven't been slacking, promise! 

Been working on the ten and last song of my 6th album and it's going well but taking time. 

The song is very different to what the other songs sound like... it's more of a pop-tune.

The drums has got a handclaps and I've put the electronic sounding kick and snare drum, together with the hi-hat, ride and cymbal sounds from the Alesis Compact Drum 7 desktop box.

The bass guitar like on the other songs I played with my fingers not using a plectrum, which has produced a deeper sound. 

The guitar were recorded without effects and effects added, which allows more freedom to experiment with different effects and producing interesting sounds. 

There is a xylophone sound, which I played using the Alesis Compact Drum 7 desktop box, that has added a more mellow sound.

I have programmed a grand classical piano sound, further adding that pop-mellow vibe to the composition.  

Just need to arrange the congos and snare fills I played to be placed on the track, together with sound effects and then it's go for the vocals to be added.

Thank you to my fans and your patience and Keep on Rockin'!
