New album of Liveness and collaborations in pipeline

Posted by maxxpump - August 1st, 2017


What I'm doing, influences and direction...

When I was growing, about seven years old, I wanted to be like my old man, I wanted to play the Trombone. I got lessons at school (beats bunking off and it was a sanctioned break from classes, so I was happy either way), I learned for a few years, joined a band, did my grade seven at the age of eleven, and then alongside my cubscout troop I joined the 1st worthing scout band. My most memorable moment is playing in London at the a massive scout, beaver and cubs event at the royal albert hall, this is where I had a solo, written at that point by my own father as well as conducted by him, in front of about five thousand people. I've always been inspired to someday get back there, but I need to start somewhere! So I know and can play, drums, accordion, violin and keyboards/organs. So basically I am a band by myself. I've spent the last few years looking for a singer, now I've found him which is amazing and he has same view of wanting get back onto stage to do his acts while singing a few numbers. 

I've spent the last week going through my most popular music as well as old legacy material. I've got fifteen songs! All I can play live to some degree of professionalism. But we are still looking for a lady to sing on two tracks. So if you what it takes and recording please get in contact if you are interested. 

I've recently being listening to bands like Caravan Palace, JMJ, Kraftwerk, Daft punk to name a few, and now since seeing Jean Michel Jarre play live, I've playing around a lot more with SFX from Synthesis and instead of building on top of presets, I've now got a fairly substantial library of my own sounds. 

Getting the trombone back will mean I maybe able to do something along the lines of Caravan Palace, but I'm go for an cross between 70's, 80's, and some 90's music, but with classical band aspects. It's going to be pain the bum to produce this album with how meticulous I want to sound, If it don't come sounding clean I'll not release until I get it right. I've got a proper studio sorted as well as a well Brighton mix artist. 

Due to meeting up with Al, we now access to the Dome studio in brighton that has its own studio and Rehearsal space as well as that the dome has three stages and it's amazing to be given the chance to potentially play at this venue. 

Al's already practiced with me singing and I think adding the elements to what I want to do, will suit his voice very well. 

Erm not sure the album will come out, there will be a few singles released on Newgrounds, but the album itself is most probably going to be available on Amazon and Spotify as have my last thirteen (minus Dystopian project that was taken down due to copyright problems, which the whole album was original, I couldn't argue with the contract holder, because they threated to pull all albums.

I've just finished writting the last song today for Diamond records (Parlophone), may get Al to do vocals as well, see how things go as I still quite a lot of work to do before I would even consider these pieces I've made be commecial products, see what happens anyway!
