Recording the CD (Part 38)

Well, well....
This 5th track is heading in many directions, stylewise :)
Have a lot figured out in my head, but recorded only a small piano section (which I'm including here) to give every1 an impression of some of the melodies.

Piano Parts (preliminary stage)

It's going down a 'Progressive Rock meets House meets Techno meets really anything' street.
It will be divided into about 5 parts & will become lengthy I'm afraid (dunno if there's a market for this kinda thing, but WTF !).
And: there will be some guitar parts, haha !
Talk to ya later,

Recording the CD (Part 37)

Well, w/ track #5 I'm taking a different approach. Normally I'd go for lotsa different drum patterns (breaks & stuff) but this time around I'm keeping that quite simple and repetitive.... All focus on the keyz & melodies :) .
Not shure if this 1 needs vocals...
Later...
Gotta do some daily practice to improve my keyboard skills (I can't complain, it's going fab :) ...

Recording the CD (Part 36)

Well well, long time no update....
Track #4 has been finished, a sort of Intro or Interlude containing a spoken part from W.B. Yeats' 'The Second Coming' poem. I used my Korg Wavestation SR a lot on this one !
A demo of this one can be found on SoundCloud ("Bethlehem")... it's the first mix, however not yet mastered.
I'm spending lotsa time learning all I can regarding the Mastering process... pretty complicated ;)
Track #5 has already been 'started': an uplifting house tune with a MASSIVE beat !! I used the Reason 4 DAW for the creation of the first part w/ some Triton & Roland samples.... sounds really cool ! Sample to follow later on!
Cya!
