I’ve been working on new music and It seems that cyberpunk is the way to go in terms of influence. All my music is entered around this universe that is deep I the future but also in the grips of political and economical crisis. I suppose that is the inside of my mind manifesting in certain ways. I am ok with this. Though I often wonder where influence comes from on a more metaphysical level if that makes sense. I have to ask myself why I like what I like and why I am driven to make more and more. Maybe it is my obsessive nature but then again why is that anyways? This song is sounding really good. I had originally made a different melody but I didn’t like how it sounded for some reason. It was too much by itself. I decided to make something new and in doing that I was able to find a really dark repeating melody and that became my new basis. As I was listening to it, I began to find that my music was matching the previous melody, a really amazing juxtaposition of bright and dark. So they became half of one larger whole. I like how it sounds now. It has urgency and tension but still tells a story with ups and downs. I imagine listening to this while driving up a mounting pass going to stop a hostile takeover of your company or something like that. In fact the movie “Tron” is a great example of this. I am very interested in how else my musical direction flows and what I can do to keep pushing the boundaries. Also for any music producers, learning about compression really changed everything for me, because I understand that feature of audio engineering, it makes a lot of things easier to think through and do. For example, you know when you should use it and more importantly when not to. It makes your mixing so much better, also EQ. EQ IS A BIGGUN. I learned something invaluable for dorm processing. Scoop out 3350hz from your drums and bass and you’ll find your mix is much crispier and the mud just goes away. This has been something I have really enjoyed doing. I hope you’re with me for the journey! I appreciate you reading my blogs <3
