Vanilla Shadoe--a virtual band. Post demoscene soundtracking breaking into pop/rock.
My first CD was released January 2006! Here's a .
Check out my cousin (AKA Guitar Lifter) if you're more into the blues.Band/artist history
The saga of Vanilla Shadoe began over twenty years ago with The Music Box Orchestra. My younger sister and I would wind up all the music boxes in our house and play them simultaneously, grooving on the polyphony. Later we used the Music Box name for our jam sessions with toy instruments, including such homemade creations as oatmeal box drums and the rubber band banjo. It wasn't really music, but it amused our parents.
The Music Box Orchestra broke up as my sister moved on to a real instrument (clarinet) and started playing with the school band. I began to mess around with the piano; at first it was like monkeys pounding on typewriters, but eventually I came up with some useful musical phrases.
I became a fan of the soundtrackers at during my first trip through college. Eventually, I bought a copy of to try my hand at soundtracking.
Unfortunately, by this time the soundtracker scene had faded, and the original mp3.com closed about the time I was ready to distribute my own MP3's. I found a home at Soundclick, and the rest is history.Have you performed in front of an audience?I usually play Memorex. Sometimes I play dead on Halloween. As for playing live, this is a virtual band, ie, it's software only. I can imagine singing over my tracks live, but that's not part of my lifestyle now. This is more of a songwriting experiment.
Your musical influences
If you listen to , you'll see that my tastes range from outlaw country through southern rock into guitar rock, then back through power pop to adult contemporary, returning to country by way of country pop.
My songs are electronic by definition, but I have no desire to remain confined to syth pop or electronica. Ideally I'd like to be able to merge the best of hard and soft rock, with a hint of roots music. My MP3 singles have crunching bass guitar and screaming lead guitar (or at least the MIDI equivalent). Recently I've posted some remixes and alternate takes that move my music in different directions.What equipment do you use?
Player Pro, Macintosh. Quicktime Musical Instruments (MIDI instrument samples licensed from Roland). PlayerPro supports both SoundFonts (sort of) and Cubase VST (but apparently not VST instruments), so those are options I'll have to explore in the future. Right now I'm waiting for version 6.0.
If you want to hear me upgrade to a more sophisticated music package, why not donate? See below.Anything else?
All my songs are now licensed under the Feel free to use them in your own music under the terms of that license, and let me know what you come up with!
This music is also podsafe.
Oh, and I'd appreciate it if you were to...
Donate enough and I might send you this lovely tote bag!
