Hello everyone how is everyone's day going so far...well I guess if your in the EDT time zone your day is only just starting. I have run into a slight roadblock really as my music is concerned! I have maybe seven to nine chord sequences I think sound cool when played on the piano/string synth (I'll tell you about my new toy which I picked up a couple of weekends ago in a couple of paragraphs...The major reason for my block is down to creative direction, those of which follow my channel, know that I create all kinds of music in all shapes and sizes. I at the moment, want to work on album number sixteen, and really want to hear from everyone, mainly to tell me what musical direction I should go in, mainly as I want this album to be a specfic genre, instead of a mish mash of different styles, a compilation as it were.
My strong point is Dance/Trance music, I have tried Drum and Bass, Rock, Metal, Numetal/Industrial, Cinematic pieces as well as alot of different fusion styles (those of which have never gone down that well on here, so it I won't go down that route).
What do people think? What genre should I work on for my new album, what should I do for it sound wise, what do poeple generally think is in style at the moment. Leave you comments below and I will consider anything really and try to accomidate as many people as humanly possible.
My new toy which I want to share with the world is a Hohner String Harmony which I got funnily enough at a car boot sale for £20 (which is about $35), in not working condition (I've been wanting one ever since watching a guy on Youtube called Kebu, which uses one on a cover/rendition of Giogio Moroders The Chase. Kebu uses one at the during most of the song, but he uses it with a Electro Harmonix Small Stone Phaser, which is a cool little phaser pedal). I have owned a Sovetek Small Stone (which is the original unit, mine being from the late 1970's). I have always wanted a Eminent Solina, I have a emulation VST called Solina V3, which is made by Native Instruments and also have a cool sounding one in Predator 2, which sounds kind of like one, but as I found out by comparing it side to side with Fireball01e's Solina, it isn't completely accurate, which is a bit of shame. To be honest the NI Solina V3 hasn't got the warmth of the original, but it is really cool non the less. The Hohner Sting Harmony needed work on the contacts and it needed all new capacitors in the power supply, it was a quick fix which cost me about £10 and now it is in my studio, and will be featured on its own test track which I will get around to at some point in the near future.
