The Reason:
Music is a part of everyone’s live. You can’t avoid it and I used spend a major portion of my time when I was younger experimenting with sound. I am not a trained musician, I don’t know how to play any instruments (I can bang on some drums though), I can’t read music, but I have always felt that I could apply my natural creativity to the playground of sound. On summer I was introduced to a program called Impulse Tracker(outdated now) that became an obsessive hobby that relieved stress. Here are a few tracks that I created about 8 years ago (kinda primitive and video game sounding):
I want to re-engage with this passion and at least experiment to see what can materialize. In addition, if I ever try to create video/film that requires a soundtrack/music, I need the confidence to provide a solution.
The Plan:
Take over my sound engineer friend’s in-house studio to attempt to develop a few tracks using his MPC. Tracks that I am considering to sample:
Fleetwood Mac – Albatross
Oren Lavie – Her Morning Elegance
Sebatien Tellier – Anything he has done
By the way, if you don’t know these tracks already, check them out… I love them all.
The Outcome:
Sample a few tracks that have intrigued me over the years and have some fun.
