Music News – New EP Release; Striking Hour

To welcome in the new year with a Synthwave EP. I actually was testing out an old synth plugin which I love it has some good Synthwave sounds on them and by that, I mean authentic Synthwave or 80s synth music sounds. The EP is mostly energetic apart from the first track which is the slowest of the four and some of the tracks have Blues and a bit of Jazz incorporated in them. I had to get out the 80s drum kit for this one and used it in all my tracks as even though I have a good collection of drums I struggle to remember which one goes on what genre for that authentic look. Last year was alright I suppose but I could have done better with some things I hope 2023 will be a better year for me and I don’t really do much nowadays apart from making music and other things to keep me sane and active. I know a lot of people are now happy being at home and doing nothing but what they want to do but I’m going the other way and having my time at home now I really want to get out there and be young and active again which I was active when I was younger and did a lot of things as I said on my other website and in the about section of both this website and randomgas.com. I called it Striking Hour for new year’s but also when the clock hits that time be ready to do the dash so yes a bit of Cinderella-inspired bit to the title of the album. I don’t really make much Synthwave so it was good to make some and I think it came out alright though I know I could do a little better with adding more textures and stuff to the songs I’m happy with them and I hope you like them to be honest but I will be making more Synthwave and other 80s genres in the near future.
