Introducing a track i wrote about 'Knife Crime'..called 'All for nothing,which i felt should be heard and resonated throughout our communities..
'Mediteranian'..a track i had spent a long time studying each instrument and arpeggiation movement in result giving me no doubt given time i could create something enjoyable..it's purpose was for 'an enchanting evening on the beach watching sunset drift it's course whilst merry with your favourite companions...
'Painless feeling'..it started with samples from ejay,i then added the strings,sampled various bits of 'madonna's' 'justify my love'..took it to 'finn' 'def-jam' who said 'add some rap,you've got a track'..
Then from 'infastep' (pirate digital radio station) i was introduced to,what i would call a world class rapper and only seventeen at the time,who listened to the track,then came into my studio and recorded the most mind blowing rap i'd ever heard from the top of his head (no lyrics) in one hit..
'i must sleep' is a track i wrote about those who like me like to party a little too much at times but realise 'insomnia' takes hold and messes with your head especially when trying to get to work the next day...
'WeREngeland' i have reintroduced this track to myspace..i sent to fifa as an entrant song for 'the world cup song'..i truelly feel this track could represent our country and resonate an awesome chill through your spine if heard at a ground of 30+000 fans..chanting 'we are engeland and we are engeland and...'
please help me big this track up as 'the world cup song' for our next 'world cup'...
'Spiritual Jam',a mix i put together in 2000..consists of 'That's Entertainment' by 'The Jam' slightly speeded up and with breaks to blend with 'Spiritual High' by 'Mood Swings'..i'm hoping this will get played on radio 1's 'black hole'..but does need others to request it..feel free to go to 'www.bbc.co.uk/radio1/colin murray/theblackhole...
'New toon'..a bunch of samples i'd collected from various different places and realised i had something if i could put it together,is also to be featured in a film called 'Slap or Die',..this is the result so far..I would be totally honoured for some constructive criticism on any track i have placed on 'myspace' if any of you have the time..but hey dj's feel free to download and give the crowd a try..i appreciate i haven't uploaded 256kbps mp3's but will if asked..
the tracks listed please feel free to leave comments..
Have been writing,producing and engineering music for now 14 years,before using 'atari 1040 ste'..which seemed to take months of input in midi only to produce just one track..i then moved on to p.c. in 1995 using basic cubase for windows 95..then tried 'magix' music creation software in 97..then came 'ejay' in 2000..i found this easy to use and quickly i was producing tracks that my friends were saying 'this could be releasable..
So i took one track called 'platypus' to 'platipus records'..the boss then 'richard' liked the track and asked me to re-engineer the drums and he would offer me a deal..
With my head then in the clouds,i chose to produce more and use a lot more of my own live stuff thrown in and then managed to produce my first album of ten tracks of different genre on an album called 'Passions Nature'..
I chose 15 people to give it to personally including 'pete tong' 'london records' his then p.a. 'fiona' said he liked it and would give personal comment if i sent in another copy..pete i'm still waiting..
'Ian dewhirst' 'simply vinyl' took me to lunch and offered me a deal on six tracks which needed additional work to complete according to 'claire shave' 'emi' who was with ian at the time..
'louis bloom' island records suggested 'white label',but i wanted to be known for what i had created..
Then i received a call from 'react music' saying they wanted to use the track 'platipus' as an end of compilation deal..
As time past and my creation skills were getting flourished i continued to use cubase sx 2.23 and reason 2.5 of which i find both equally phenomenal bits of software and producing music was now taking over my days and nights...with the addition of my guitar,roland jd 800 and jp 8000 and groovebox + technics 1210's mk2's, i really was losing sleep but absolutely loving the sounds i could create..
I was then asked to join a live band called 'spiral mind' and gigged every weekend,plus rehearsals during the weeks..i started inputing my own p.a. which brought clarity and precision to the bands sound quality..then started reproducing some of the bands tracks..i then continued with my own music of which i then produced two more albums 'cool nation' and 'time'2'chill..
Most of the tracks i write are of 'house,trance,dance,club and chill-out'..i want to produce some 'soca' if anyones interested in joining in..
i could use some input from anyone musically minded for i've produced everything by myself so far..
I composed keyboards for four tracks of 'jimmy persey' 'sham69' from the 'Masters' 1998 album ..they were called 'no sacrifice' now called(stevie),she's the queen (Alice),'Industrial Stereo Play'(Otis redding) and Kings and Queens'..
Have been taught how to d.j. by 'barry james' 'cinamatik' (who i would say is going to be the best thing since 'fat boy slim')..have produced/engineered (although not usually necessary this boy certainly knows his way around a studio just we had a nightmare with the mixer cutting out whilst he was performing) this awesome mix cd of his works called 'the journey'..
Have played,produced and engineered for other bands and even produced a three hour musical,a depiction by a guy from manchester called 'victor'(i can't remember his surname) called '1984' by 'george orwell'...
Am certainly hard working at what i do,just wished i could get paid alot more for doing it all day,although beats having to slave under cars for pittence...
Have added Robyn's video 'every heartbeat' for that extra pleasure..i love the tune,have since made a remix..
COMING SOON is my sister site 'Altruism Records Ltd,London,where more of my newer music and demo bands can be heard..will be found shortly as well as the official website where you can buy or download albums by myself and other unsigned artists..
Feel free to check-out youtube.com for a debut-demo of a video track i have posted there...just type altruismrecords in the search engine...will add it here as well,am just having a nightmare with my computer indoors and waiting for virgin media to link me up at home...
am just in the middle of recording a few more to add..
