I made another plugin of 20 farmyard sounds you would hear on a farm. I won’t go into full details as I have already typed a little bit up but it comes with extra knobs to fiddle and mess around with the sound but I did use a lot of filters and other FXS on it too. These are the demo tracks I made from the sounds from the VST plugin and as always I used the Romplur plugin to make the VST and their website to make the GUI. On the download page there are two videos and some tracks of synthy tracks and other genres and the other track and video is more experimental and is of most of the sound FXS all in one song. It is a free download and is for Windows and Mac and I have tried it out on Windows and it works fine but once again I’m not sure about the Mac version as I haven’t tested it out and don’t think I will as I haven’t got a a Mac computer.  I got the sounds of Pixabay and other sources but mostly off Pixabay which is where I tend to find a lot of good sounds I use in  my music and other things like gaming projects which I haven’t done for a while and nor am I going to get back to it soon as it’s a long and drawn out process I enjoy every now and then. I might do another plugin but with more sounds that are ready to use rather then effects with extra knobs on but I’m not sure if I will yet but this is the place to found it right here on my website, I mean I might just do it as I enjoy making sounds from sounds and like to use the silliest stuff to produce the sound. 

So I’m trying to get into live streaming so I had this idea of making songs from that era with synthesizers from that era from the 70s, 80s and stopping off at the 90s. There is a bonus track in this one as  I forgot to unmute the sound and it came out silent so I decided to put it with the rest as  a bonus track. From the 70s I used the Buchla, Mini Moog, CS80 and Modular from Arturia plugins. From the 80s I used the Juno 6 and OB-XA from Arturia and the D50 by Roland plugins. The 90s I used the Roland TB-303, Roland JV-1080 and the also Roland Jupiter 106. I’ve always been obsessed with the sound of synthesizers and bending sound and I always wanted loads of synthesizers even though I was told I wasn’t be able to afford them all as they are quite expensive but thanks to plugins the world is your oyster and there are so many good replicas  of hardware synths you don’t need to buy a actual keyboard based synth or hardware and take up all that space but it would be nice to own one or two I  wouldn’t know which one to buy first as I have a few I like. When I was infront of real synths or hardware I liked the Arp 2600 even though I thought some or most of the sounds were pretty dark but they had a couple of nice sounds too which blended well with the dark thick sounds. Also anything from Roland I liked the whole collection but the Juno 106 I liked the sounds from that for various of stuff I just play over the drum beat on number of songs after digging into my stash of made up drum patterns I made already I was more practical back then but more get on with it and make the beats when I need to. You can check out my live streams here they are a bit long but feel free to skip a bit if you want to. 

A special Halloween EP I made ages ago and released and is now back on my Bandcamp. I got the clips online and feature clips from Twilight, Teletubbies, Children Of The Corn, and House Of Wax. Okay so Teletubbies ain’t creepy but I wanted to make it a bit weird and scary as I feel the Teletubbies look not evil just weird and something you would see under the influences. One of my favourite films I like to watch is Children Of The Corn the first one and I think it’s atmospheric and quite creepy it gives me a lot of inspiration like the Playground EP I did was kind of based on that and was around evil kids taking over the playground and doing evil on the land. House Of Wax is also one of my favourite films to watch and I like the older one as again I think it’s more atmospheric but I do like the one that was ain the 2000s but it could of been House On The Hill as I watched both around the same time. I haven’t watched a film for ages now and I think it’s cos I like to be on my computer a lot and can’t seem to get off the thing but I do like to watch horror movies. The last film I watched was The Banana Splits which I wished I got more as it was before my time but it’s was a kids show before that, that got sold and made into a horror film. It’s something that creeps me out actually and reminds me of when I went to Disney Land Paris and seeing Mickey etc they are so weird not the people inside them but  to see them stare at you just freaks me out but I was laughing though.   

A Jungle and Drum and Bass album of stuff I made ages ago but released again for the fun of it. They are all of clips I got off the internet and made into Jungle and Drum and Bass remixes. It’s clips from Snow White, Thunderbirds, Bill Clinton, Marylin Monroe and two off Public Information Films or PIFS which is Dark And Lonely Water and the a Pylon safety short film. I didn’t make these from scratch but are loops I got off Loopmasters a place I used to shop and get my loops from until I got used to making beats from scratch apart for the drums and breaks in House and Jungle/Drum and Bass which I like to use Splice to get the drums from and saves half the time and it also sounds better more what I want full club drums which takes time to build with all the algorithms and stuff you would do the pattern to make it sound more fuller and sounding better. I’ve made a few remixes of Dark & Lonely Water including a House Version, two Drum and Bass and Jungle versions, a experimental version and a synthy version but the one on this album is the original version and the first I made from the bunch I made. I called it’s It’s A Jungle as I feel life is getting more downhill and I like to blame the rise of the internet and the progressive lack of understanding and not being shallow which I see to many people being shallow when they have no place to be but anyway I’m not talking about it.
