Pinholes

Budgie

New season, new music.

With each season, new music is written and this year starts off with two so far. To continue in the tradition that I have come to enjoy, more material is yet to come. These start off with Budgie and Pinholes. Cinematic electronic music has become a real love for me as far as music creation is concerned. It's back to using raw sampling again to create new textures. Finding that timbre of sound and otherworldly element is what brings me deeper into the creative process. Jumping headlong into what sounds good emotionally is what I always enjoy doing. When you have a small audience, you need not try to please anyone but yourself. It's good to have so few who listen, but those who do listen, understand the depth of what is happening with these albums. Pinholes is a strange single that displays no malice to sound, but its dream-like reverse melody makes the song come to life as it continues to evolve up to the end of its fade out. Budgie puts you right in the jungle with its film-like motion. It's akin to past singles such as Wow-and-Flutter, but more flighty in motion, much like the bird sounds toward the end. I plan to continue down this new pathway of sound and more singles will indeed be coming forth, one such is slope. Until next time.

Song writing in Electronic form.

Being a song writer is part of the joy of making music. Before I began with electronic music, I was writing guitar music in the early 90s. Over the years a shift has occurred from album to album. 'The Scheme of Things' moved into the song writing element more than before. -ATD- was the approach of 'can I make a themed album that was influenced by the 80s and soundtracks. But with 'The Scheme of Things' it was an entirely different approach. "Let's see where this takes me", I said. Each song is crafted to compliment the next. I believe that song writing in Electronic form allows for an organic way of doing things. It's much like how the greatest of songs were written in the 70s and 80s. They put their entire soul into doing things in the studio. People have come to appreciate this style of music I release. To continue down that same path is only to make the next work more fulfilling. These days I no longer have a past endeavor that took nearly 2 years to do on my shoulders. I can breathe easy and let the music take me places. This song writing style has developed over the years and one song from 'The Scheme of Things' in particular would be 'Aura' that takes me there. There is some kind of R&B flavor happening here, perhaps it is due to what I grew up to, Hall and Oates, Soul music and now those things are once again coming back as childhood influences. Electronic music doesn't have to be 'cut and dry' it can be organic and it needs to be a free spirit, otherwise it cannot move into new progressions. The latest work in development is finding its way into the experimental realm/progressive mode. It appears that a new single is underway, and we're going back to the time of -ATD- motifs and moods.

'The Scheme of Things' released Dec 2 2016
