Music News – New Album; Steinfield Dream

Once again a dream or nightmare that I had recently that had Frankenstein in and now I think about it it’s a dream I had when I was much younger like when I was a kid it was probably waking up late at night and watching a bit of the old black and white Frankenstein films and the one with his wife in which I think is the second film that was also in black and white. As always I won’t go into detail about the dream as I’ve made a quick eBook with photos to demonstrate what was in my dream, most of which are local places as in my dream they were local only a few minutes walk from the flat I live in. But to sum it up we were in this hut and this stern lady who I think represented Margaret Thatcher the ex-Prime Minster of the UK in the 80s and early 90s but she was saying no to all the suggestions and she wouldn’t let us go anywhere somehow the dream or nightmare turned into down at the bottom of the field of a leisure centre but is a good local place to sit and chill in the summer and walk your dog if you have a dog that is lol. There was this tomb entrance with a fire torch at the entrance so a normal entrance you would see in a film or something. Long story short we came across Frankenstein who was wandering around in the corridors of this tomb and he nearly got us he wanted to bite us. Luckily we evaded him by running into one of the rooms that we were now trapped in. One person tried to make a run for it who he wasn’t that much liked but he got nabbed by Frankenstein and he was no more. This is when a neon tunnel appeared with missing bricks that made the hole and was a tunnel back to the bottom of the field and at the tomb’s entrance again. We made our way back to the hut which by the way is at the top of the field in my dream and in real life and in real life it’s a changing room for various sports that happen on the field but mostly cricket and football. We stayed in the hut for a bit where a couple of people venged the hated person’s death before leaving and walking down back alleys to our home. The next bit was many years down the line when I saw a couple of the people I was in the hut in a retirement home and one was acting very strange outside the home which was actually an old college I went to a long time ago and when I was 15 onwards. We all pretended we didn’t know each other and were strangers at this point but they looked a bit unhinged and silent from the trauma they faced. The first track No Can Do is an arpy number that represents waiting around and being bored like all the tracks on this album I used my trusted V Collection from Arturia and drums from the Roland 606 which I got from the Mars Drum Kit Pack. I like the Sequencer or Arp on this one and the chorus rhythms which I played using a MIDI keyboard and I like the end too which as always I like to bring to a finale so it goes somewhere. The next track The Tomb is a slow dark but mysterious track which I quite like. I like the synths over the aggressive bass which I think is one of my favourites on the album for its dark and mysterious vibe which represents the tomb and its entrance. I also like the ending to this one where I use dragging-on stone FXs to represent the tomb’s entrance door and the final push to the end where I put everything an Octave higher to give it that change and finale feel. The next track Stein In The Passage is upbeat but another dark and mysterious number which I quite like. I like the bass to this one I think it’s a catchy bass rhythm that represents the meeting of Frankenstein. I also like the chorus which turns out to be another one of my favourites on the album as I like the screeches and the dark synth that is in the chorus which also represents the meeting of Frankenstein. I also like the ending where the drums bring it to a dark closing with extra kicks, hats and an extra snare and with an extra synth added on top and also extra screeches which I found on the Pixabay website a good go-to place for FXs and photos too. The next track Trapped and One Dead is a frantic number which again I quite like I like the beginning synth which gives it that frantic feel but the bass kinds of chills it out but still has that kind of frantic feel to it like you are evading something or going round in a maze in circles. I also like the chorus bits too which again straighten it out a little bit and make it more of a chilled just chilling track. The next track Appearing Tunnel Savoir is a gentle but hard-hitting number that represents a tunnel appearing and going through it. I really like the synths on this one and I think is my overall favourite and one of my more gentler tracks on the album. I like the ending too where more drums and a sequencer or arp are added for difference and also an extra synth which reminds me of the Kill Bill sound when she’s about to strike. The next track Retirement is a happy and chilled number that I also quite like. I like the synths that go over the bass and I also like the ending too but I really like the second synth that comes in and makes it sound old and once again relaxing also I like the end synth which makes it feel a bit jazzy and happy. The next track The Tomb (Remix) is a House remix I made for fun and as I like to make remixes to my songs especially flipping them into new genres but I like it and reminds me of the more older Dance music and House music too. The last track Retirement (Remix) is the Drum and Bass remix to the original track Retirement. I would have done two House tracks but I felt like doing some Drum and Bass so I thought why not and was for a bit of difference between the album and the track before so here it is.
