Just finished a near dream collaboration with Dan Haigh's.

Posted by maxxpump - November 8th, 2017


So I have had a few weeks off from NG to think about my groups direction, work more towards my contract with Parlophone, and just finsihed a collaboration project with the near legendary Dan Haigh's which is part of a group called Gunship. 

So I decided to take a while off from posting to solidify my solo music career, and after nearly half a million views on my video on YouTube for Tchernobyl, I decided that was the ultimate sound direction I want to go in. I've been also making a new album which will be released next spring under Parlophones Diamond Electronic studio label, and already have one concrete song called "Michael's Song", part of the piece you can hear in my newest release "Martins Song" which I released earlier. The difference with this song is after scoring it, instead of making a song out of it, it's already gone through fifteen iterations. I want to make this piece as perfect as possible and I have already spent a combination of three weeks making new sounds, using my new VST package which was given to me by my new producer, Dave Martins. This new VST suite is called "Analogue Lab 2 by Arturia", Im also was given a exclusive license for a VST called "The Legend MK2", which I've already extensively played around with, which I've found is excellent for creating very deep bass sounds. I also at the the same time bought the full version of Kontakt, by Native Instruments, as before I was only using Kontakt Player, which is somewhat limiting in it implimentation. I was also loaned a Apple computer with Protools, a Digidesign HD system and a software bundle, so I've been slowly teaching myself to use Protools, but to tell you, I'm still a Cubase boy and don't really like Protools as much. 

Anyway I went to a second hand synthesiser shop in London three weeks ago on the way back from a meeting, where I went to look at a Sequenctial Circuits Prophet five, as I already own a Pro-1 and have in the past played with the Pro-5 and been really impressed, so I want to purchase a unit, obviously if the price was right (unfortately they wanted £4000 for it which they are worth £1500 tops, so I didn't get it), but I bumped into a guy which was called Alex, he was purchasing a bunch of vintage gear, and after getting talking to him he said he was puchasing the gear after their sucessful album under a group name called "Gunship", I at this point never had heard of them (I have now and think there music is excellent). I exchanged details after having a small synth jam, and then went home. A couple of days later I had a email from Alex and his band mate Dan asking if I wanted to do a collaboration, with I agreed apon, we then sent stems backwards and forwards and have at this point made four songs, but been basically been told thats it as they are currently working on a new album and they might have any spare time to collaborate until next spring time, where they said they would invite me up to their studio, to do a project together. Which all in all its a great honor, and I've had fun and look forward to doing something in the future with them. 

I'm currently doing a bit of a album with Fireball01e, called Genesis, which is going to be a classical rock album, which is sounding fantastic so far, I think he's going to do it as free album, which I really reckon from what I've heard so far, he might actually be able to make record sales out of it.

In other news, I am playing ten gigs with Exedist in December, but we are going under the new name The fireball Projekt, as we have had some legal issue with a group called "Dot.EXE", even though my earliest copyright and trade mark for our group, back in 1996, is not enough and it seems that we got told not to fight it by our lawyers as they are represented by Sony, and even we technically would be okay with taking them to court, we don't have the money. So Exe.Dist or  formally known as Unchained ExeDist, is nowlonger our name, as we really can't face up to Sony's legal team. Parlo said it was a good name, but it was their studio Lawyer, which told us otherwise. 

In the next week I will be releasing new versions of unreleased legacy files, which I will be doing using new technology, VST's and the like.
There is eight songs, all are really good and been played live on different circuits, but they are not good enough I feel to warrant a place on NG, so I will be redoing them. 

There maybe unfortunatly less live playing as my MIDIkeyboard keeps on reseting itself for some reason while working in Cubase and everytime (completly randomly by the way) it does it, I have to save up and reset Cubase, which has been a huge hassle and is getting to the point that I will have to record all live stuff outboard and upload stems into Cubase. This is a an absolute pain in the ass, and I'm really not sure what to do about it at the moment. also unfortunately the backup keyboard (CTRL49) has a broken mid "C" key and is pretty much unusable as a subsquence, both keyboards are both M-Audio and under six months old, so lesson learned M-audio products are not very sturdy and I unfornenatly can't get my money back only a repair of the product and been told would have to wait upto three months to get it back.

Your funny, im nearly pissing myself laughing! your a perpetual liar and I think you musics not even slight commercial enough to even attract a contract like you're stating. don't feel bad about being constantly bombed as thats just part of a closed circle which deals with people like you ;)

Gunship, for a start their musics lacking, and they just would never do a collab with you, not in a million years, so keep your BS which you obviously believe to yourself.

I love scoring your work specifically around 3 to 4 o'clock everyday, just too keep you on your toes. Not doing this to be nasty, but muddy mixes will never warm my heart or cockles.

So its been you? why out yourself? So you're the one zero bombing my account!
Screw this I've well and truly had enough of this bullshit! No more posts, I apologise to my fans, but I've just had it up to here with this childish muppet!

Robert, for a start I've known Stuart (Maxxpump) for over twenty years and apart from him occasionally getting confused about the occasional fact, he's never lied to his followers, fans and friends. He worked alongside me for a decade when he left school, now he owns his own studio on the side of working with Fireball01e. To tell you straight, you're not a very nice person and apart from constantly trolling stuart you should fins something else to do or bash.

#robertdavis72 in no uncertain terms I'd like you to piss off! Leave stuart alone, stop trolling him and his account, and tell you and you're "Tight Circle" to get lost!

It's not just me ;) its a whole bunch of people in a close network which don't think that people like you should deserve recognition, even though I know some of your works are quite good. Leave this creation to people like Creo (which I know fairly well). I've really taken notice of you since you released that Zerryx Gameover cover, which I think sounds good, but since I can't get recognition for my music why should you?

So why don't I deserve recognition, when I have owned a studio for the last decade and make music from others and myself, I surely deserve some recognition for what I've done? So If I have some good works, should I deserve recognition for those tracks, as well as newer artistic pieces which I put out?
