11月8日 Revamped Tune..."Yesterdays Dreams".Hi all
 I've been rather busy this week reworking "Yesterdays Dreams" which was one of my first attempts of a Trance tune. Now that I have some better synths than some years ago I thought I'd see what I could do with this project. You can find the tune on this page. Lemme know what you think.
I just need to make a few adjustments to "Eureka" and "Technicon" and then my DD album will be ready for mastering. Better ask my boss for some overtime...lol.
Thats all for now,

10月30日 Loves Embrace (Europican T Mix)Hi all
Well, I spent two weeks offline which meant just one thing, and that was to have another crack at making a Trance version of Loves Embrace. So, finally here it is. Full title is "Loves Embrace (Europican T Mix)". What started out as a two and a half miniute track has turned into eleven miniutes and two seconds and the tempo is 145bpm. I used Nexus mostly and Zeta for the last sequence where there is a transformation, from layed back and subtle to all out party mode. If you like this kind of music then please let me know your thoughts on whether I did a good job or not.
I'm now revamping an old tune of mine called "Yesterdays Dreams". It will be the last tradk for my DD Album. There will be eight tracks, Either "Illuminator" and "Surfing the Rainbow" were going to be on the album but "Yesterdays Dreams" has come in at the last moment and pipped the other to at the post.
Thx for reading and listening, ciao for now,

I used it in the 80's and when I switched it on today the smell of it warming up brought back some memories...lol. Many thx to the guys at MC Electronics, Bedford for fixing it up for me.
Thats all for now!
6月29日 Marshall Vintage AmpHi all
 I've just had my 1970 Marshall Master PA amphead fixed. It's been rewired and tested and runs on four EL34 valves. The outside of it has been left just as it is to keep it authenic age. I've searched the net for anyone selling a same modal and found a guy who has a different model asking for serious offers only. Here's his page. So, I'm still at a loss as to how much it's worth, but I have had an offer from a mate. However i would like to know its true value cos I dont wanna rip me mate off now do I. Here's a piccy of it......
 Bye for now. 3月2日 "Technicon"Hi all
 I've been working on this track, "Technicon" this week. It now has a new lead in the first sequence, and a new kick throughout the track. Nexus vsti supplied these sounds. The rest was done with the zeta+. You can listen here. That's all for now.

well, for the past week I've been offline due to a CPU fan error. I had to wait a week before anyone came around to fix it. However, in that time I managed to compose a new piece of music which is a Classical number and a new genre for me too. It's called "Loves Embrace" and can be played here . This is my second track using the superb synth that is Nexus.
Bye for now,

It now has a new ASUS motherboard with a Quad Core 2 processor, two gig of DDR3 Ram and 500 gig drive where all my song files are stored. I have a new 17 inch tft monitor and I'm just awaiting the arrival of my Axiom 49 key midi controller keyboard. The C Drive now has 160 gig capacity so there is plenty of room for loads and loads of VST instruments. I'm pretty pleased with it all. I may have to replace my studio piccy with a new one....lol  3月6日 InspirationHi Cicero
Thanks for visiting and posting on my blog. Nice to meet you. Joy Division were the band that I listened to that made me wanna take up the bass guitar. Peter Hook was their bass player and his sound was so rich and full that it really inspired me. Also, in the late 70's early 80's I used to go and see a lot of bands at places like The Lyceum, Electric Ballroom and Cambridge Corn Exchange. They used to have three or four bands on in one night. Between the bands setting up the DJ used to play Dub in which the bass guitar is very dominant. So I was starting to listen to people like Scientist, King Tubby, Sly N Robbie. Many years later I got into Jazz, listening to Weather Report, Yellow Jackets, Chick Corea. I like most kinds of music so I draw my inspiration form many people.
Listening wise my favourite instument is also the guitar. I just love to see a player go into an extended solo and really rock things up generaly. I like people like Frank Zappa, Stevie Ray, Angus Young. It's all good stuff!
-pete, aka Ironspike The Hedgehog, aka Europica...lol 1月8日 Indie GuildThe superb community of independant bands and artists that is Indie Guild is back online.

11月13日 New collaboration completedA new collaboration can now be heard here.
It's called "Never what it seems" and was written by PN.
Here is the full line up....
PN: Vocals, rhythm and lead guitar.
Myself on Bass guitar.
9月23日 Victor WootenThe chap you see there in the video is Victor Wooten, pronounced "Woot-en" His brother started giving him lessons at the age of five and by the time he was eight Victor was able to play compitently in a band. I've watched some of his tutorial videos he's made where he explains his new technique by using the thumb to play as you would do with a pick, totally different from slapping or anything else thus far. He comes across as a very humble and nice guy. Victor, I love ya man!  Hear or download some of my collaborations.As I mentioned I record bass parts for other artists songs. Not all of them get published to the net but you can hear some of them at F-Jam at Soundclick. The songs I'm playing on are "House of the Rising Moon", "Coming Home", "One More Valley to Cross" and "Rhythm of the Heart to which I wrote the lyrics. Jason on Vocals, guitars and Keys. Fred on drums and percussion and me on bass.
There are other great songs on that page and remember its all done over the internet, none of the musicians have ever met. So, take a listen and if there's any you really like click the download link
 9月22日 StudioHere's a piccy of my work station come studio. As well as writing and recording my own material I collaborate with people from around the world, playing bass on their songs. Rock, Blues, Pop,Reggae, and Jazz are some of the genres I've covered. Reggae and dance are my main genres.
I'm running Cubase SL3 with Halion and loads of Softsynths. Its all good fun. |
