I have been working on this Beat for a while and I was struggling on finding a direction on where to go with it. Except from the Sounds based on Samples like the Orchestra the Guitar and the Drums I created all Sounds from scratch with wiring up different modules ...

Second Internet Collaboration feat. Wellington "No Comparison": Story behind the Song

This Song was the second Beat that I produced and released for free download on this profile with the title Square Dance. While I was still working on the track I sent earlier Versions to my freind Wellington. A couple of days later I received an e-mail including the Lyrics and a brand new MP3 with his Vocals. I was seriously touched as well as fazinated by his way of putting the rhymes together, making them fit to my Beat as if the Beat was written for the Lyrics.
I had to take a while off of producing in my home studio since I had ...

First Internet Collaboration feat. Wellington "Wrist Chips": Story behind the Song
This was the first Beat I made and uploaded on Soundclick. You find the story about the production in the "Without You - Full Song Info - Section".
I uploaded this Beat in the beginning of this year and I did not do much about it. A couple of month later I checked my Beatz Factory Account and I found a post like: "Hey man, don't know if you are still around, but I made something out of your Beat - check it out".Since it was the first time I was really excited and the more excited I was when I found myself listening to what Alan made out of my Beat. Right from the start I knew, this can be something big and the next day I found myself working on a new Beat T

Second Beat with Classical String Arrangement - Free Download: Square Dance is one of the last pieces that I started off while I was still studying at the Liverpool Institute for Performing Arts (LIPA). As I started programming the piece it was meant to be a Beat for my Beatz Factory Project, other then the "Without You" Beat, which was originally made as a whole Production, including Vocals in the context of a Songwriting Assessment at University.
The "Square Dance" Beat was started off with the Orchestral, kind of Classical String Arrangement by using the quite simple Edirol Orchestra Plug In. As this part was mainly done, I started programming the drums and creating some FX Sounds to insert a ...

New Version of "Without You" uploaded - Free Download: The song "Without You" including the lyrics was written for a song-writing assignment at LIPA. While I was running out of time I recorded the vocals last minute and decided not to publish the version. Instead I worked on the production of the piece, truing to make a proper instrumental out of it. (13th Dez. 2007)
After taking Yasu’s critics into account and listening to the file on different sound systems I worked a bit on the mix. First I fixed the stereo-image issue that Yasu mentioned in his comment, but I also did some EQing on some instruments as well as adding some slight compression and filtering on the m...

Working in a factory: On Thursday I called the agency and asked them if they would have a job for me. I was really surprised as they asked me to do a nightshift right away. Due to the fact that I had to register with them first I did not manage to take this offer, but therefore they offered me a shift from 6-12 in the morning. They downside they sat would be that the factory would be half an hour car ride from Liverpool, but they offered me to use their transport service to get there. I never had contact with this kind of companies and I had a very strange feeling in the beginning, so I looked up in the internet and I found their page quite trustworthy.

Friday, 7th Sept. – first shift (6 hours): I

Licensing a Nu Jazz Production: This piece called "Another Chance" has been programmed in March/April this year for the purpose of an audition interview, where I improvised Cello over it. The whole production is very modal using the keys of C and Ab. In the string intro and outro I used a combination of synth strings as well as self-sampled and recorded Violin and Cello. I think the piece is ideal for people looking for some Nu Jazz to improvice with. If anybody is interested in the Production I will be able to provide with Chord charts and sheet music. Also changes can be made at any time. The licence prices are guidelines and can be negotiated…
