Joined this group to help promote our band The Usual Suspects, and more recently, The Private Dicks Band. We also gig as an acoustic alternative, The Lounge Lizards. We have our own studio, Smokey Room where we produce our own music and anybody who wants to record there, we also produce videos, which are on youtube, I'll post them on Drooble as well. I have done some online collaboration over the past couple of years and it can work well, so if anybody is interested in collaborating on a recording project please get in touch. Cheers.
Past present and future, a wonderful worldwide legacy of music from the past, a huge selection of genres from the present day, as for the future, who knows? I'd like to play a small part in it for as long as I can. Music to me a vibration encompassing the whole Universe, it's fundamental.
To have some success however small with a song that our band has created.
Equality, but many have tried and as far as I can see it's still very much a work in progress.
Diana by Paul Anka. Then into my early teens it all exploded with the Beatles, Stone, Kinks, Beach Boys etc...up until the present day.
Beatles, Pink Floyd, Jimi Hendrix. Steely Dan, Jeff Beck, Stones, Muse, Zero 7, the list is almost endless.....
Anything and everything, my Grandkids, events, moods, feeling of happiness or sadness, hopefully mainly happiness, people and places.
Listen to this, you might like it!
I love it these days, but as a naturally introverted person it has been nervy at times depending on the gig. As you get older you have to come out of your shell and not be a wallflower, these days nothing fazes me and hopefully I come across as confident.
Complicated, you have to be a bit of a multi tasker, musician, recording engineer, producer, communicator, the internet has changed everything.
Yes I like it, the Karma points idea is very good, it's takes away the commercial aspect and lets you concentrate on the music, I like the community feel too. It's great to be in touch with like minded people from across the world, regardless of musical genres, it all counts.
My limitations, but then we all have them, learn to use what talents you have to the very best of your ability.
Hopefully, we get out to see other bands and performers as much as possible, and our Smokey Room studio is available to others for mulitrack recording or video production at a very reasonable rate.
The ability to produce something interesting and memorable, musically coherent, artistically relevant, ahem, not easy.
I'll have to come back to this one.
