Another attempt of music making
One day, in my fantasy world that is, I will be interviewed about my musical influences. I’ll name Tangergine Dream, Moby, Jan Hammer and many other synth based musicians as my main sources of inspiration. This isn’t entirely true as any music I listen to inspires me. Right now, ‘You make loving fun’ by Fleetwood Mac is on the radio and there are parts of that song I would love to imitate in the future in one of my tunes. I love Def Leppard, Van Halen and other such guitar rock bands yet my own skill with the six string is such that when it comes to making music, its easier to use a keyboard (and mouse)
I find that I can start with a little peice of a tune and build on it until it has become this great big ‘thing’. This tune is a good example of it. I came up with the repeating pattern first on the guitar and then away I went. It has a guitar solo that I actually played (badly but still) and almost a verse/chorus pattern. When I re-mixed it, I through in some more guitars and changed the bass a little. It seemed to work better.
