After playing around with advanced sequences and different styles of music, I have come up with my new track "Waterfalls Mega Mix", which is mashup of four of my songs. Its doing really well and getting loads of downloads which I'm happy for.

My second Explicit track "The Love is Lost" took me a while to upload it as I was afraid of the reaction, so far I've had one rude email, bashing me for making something different, which I really don't care about, if you have a problem with what is coming out of my mouth, don't tell me about it, as I have a million problems and that aint one of them.

Thankyou to everyone who responded to my last message by PM and direct message, I will just put up what I like in the future and ignore the haters and blatant trolls! Im now playing around with making some more EDM, but will take at least a week to produce, Im making a tune like "Dystopian peace", "Interstella" and "Inner sanctum" as they are best EDM soundscapes I've made and there shall be a follow on project for everyone to listen to.

A huge thankyou to everyone who has taken the chance to listen to my music and beats, you guys are the best!

After seeing the reaction I got and the stream of emails I just got after I put up my Explicit rap track, I will promise to never put up a rap track again and just stick to EDM, which is annoying as im multi genre! If you do email pleaes refrain from being nasty as well as it wasn't warranted .

I'm upgrading to cubase 8.5 which I bought a few weeks ago, I've been afraid of the upgrade because it means a new windows version to get the  full 64bit quality and upto 32GB RAM allowance which I have already installed. It also means reinstalling all the VST's. So I may not be making anything new for a few days. There will be a learning curve to the new software, so the first few songs will be experimental. The last few tracks Ive posted were using Advanced Kontakt using scripting, I will get better at it im no programmer and grew up with Basic on a BBC Master model B. So I'm no good with the newer languages, which is very unfortunate. 

After this upgrade I should be able to produce better music and more highly advanced pieces.

Someone messaged me with a question and this question is as follows, 

where does my inspiration for music lie, as Its not everyday you hear music with fast arpeggios and fast moving pads, not within popular music anyway.

My first inspiration is Jean michel Jarre, he has inspired me to make advanced sequences and arpeggios, Gershon kingsley gets an honorable mention as well as Giorgio Moroder and Daft Punk (they inspired me to use vocoder as well). My inspiration for my pad sounds come from Gary Numan and Hans Zimmer, also Flock of Seagulls and Europe get a mention.

My inspiration for piano comes from Tom Waits, Adele, and a few others which you probably wouldn't have heard of. My inspiration for bass sounds comes from Gorillaz, Chase and Status and many other drum and bass oriented bands.

I get guitar from Led Zeppelin, Guns and Roses, Metallica and Pink floyd.

I guess the Beatles were an inspiration, as well as ELO and the Traveling Wilburys, both last bands included a guy called Jeff Lynne which is amazing at song writing. My drums are inspired by so many different groups I can't say were they came from. I get inspired by my own music, the synthesisers and VST's I own, and also get occasionally inspired by indie acts like Kebu and Cyberdesign. If you haven't heard of these bands, people and acts, look them up as they all have their little quirks. 


Im off now to finish making a new wave track using only Arturias Synclavier and will put up some of my guitar works later on.

This is getting so hard for me s I get no feedback at all on any of my submissions, if its YT, New grounds, etc... no comments no feed back nothing! Im now creating EDM music, my FB page is on fire, but with my problems with YT I may stop that altogether. I need the feedback, I recently got a 100k track on YT and no comments! thats just bad for me. Please leave feedback if you like a track, if not i think I might stop....
