Bandcamp News – New EP; Haunting Time

BANDCAMP NEWS

23/01/2023 - New Album Release; Haunting Time

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.

Bandcamp News – New Album Release; It’s A Jungle

BANDCAMP NEWS

23/01/2023 - New Album Release; It's A Jungle

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. 

Bandcamp News – New Album Release; Remix This Vol. 2

BANDCAMP NEWS

23/01/2023 - New Album Release; Remix This Vol. 2

Vol. 2 of Remix This my House remixes of famous songs that I remixed. I picked my favourite tracks that I have played thousands of times before I remixed them and is kind of weird remixing them after playing them over the years and decades.  I won’t name the songs but it’s music from Groove Armada, Aaliyah, Whitney Houston, George Michael, Amy Winehouse, Madonna, Stevie O Adventures and more. They are all old tracks that I released ages ago and put them back online as I couldn’t get into my old accounts when I deleted my Gmail account oops. Most of the artists on this one aren’t here anymore and was on a special album which is why they are a lot of passed on artists on here and I wasn’t trying to exploit their profits but to celebrate their life and music but it’s sad how most of them ended up and it’s a worrying thing to see someone go off the handle especially what happened to Britney Spears which is another reason why I didn’t want to became famous and that did put me off a lot but before that I always dreamt of being famous but I like the backstage scenes which suit me better when I was working. Music has always been a part of my life and I wouldn’t live without music I don’t think I could live without it and don’t go a day without having music on in the background or blasting it but I don’t blast it that much maybe sometimes but I like to keep it to bare minimal. You can listen to the original tracks then my track in a special two part video which can be found in the main menu under Gas Leak Parties it’s called Inspirations Vol. 1.

Bandcamp News – New Album Release; Safety First

BANDCAMP NEWS

20/01/2023 - New Album Release; Safety First

A special album I made of UK and US public information film clips or PIFS for short and are from the 60s, 70s, and 80s the special eras of the PIF which were dauting to watch. I said this a few times now but I’ll say it again you do learn quite a lot from the PIFS and they are mostly educational and a blessing to have watched as I could of sworn I’ve been saved by accidents thanks to the public information films and have a lot to thank them for so thank you. On top of that it makes good memories me waking up in the middle of the night and seeing the fire PIFS which was about smoking in bed and also the electric fire leaving that on at night and how dangerous it is, it makes me scared to put on a candle as I live in a flat and there is only one way out which is out the window but luckily it’s not that high. I’m not trying to shame no one but I’m surprised on the amount of people who can’t swim and I think it’s a life lesson we all need to go through just in case of a fatal accident which could end up you dead basically. I’m also surprised how many stupid people there are who would risk their life for a stunt on camera and not the trained professionals but the every day person. I’m not the one to mess around with danger and that’s all probably to do with watching the PIFS as a child. I love watching the old FBI PIFs and they are the most interesting to watch as they say a lot and are funny but not funny at the same time depending on which one you are watching but my favourite one to watch is the nuclear attack ones as they are the most interesting to watch and quite scary it’s a daunting thing that we could be attacked any minute but let’s hope not.

Bandcamp News – New EP Release; Sampler – EP 1

BANDCAMP NEWS

18/01/2023 - New EP Release; Sampler - EP 1

I decided to get the tape deck out and boy was it a headache but I managed to scrap up something from it and make a House and UK Funky EP with it. I sampled four songs from The Temptations Just My Imagination, Lil ‘ Kim Back Stabbers, Mary J Blige’s Changes I’ve Been Going Through and Chaka Khan Miss The Water which I recorded onto a tape deck and cleaned them up which was the worse bit and used RX10by Iztope to clean up the samples. It took four days after three attempts and I’m happy with this one but there are parts that were hard to clean like the tape slide and the warping sound which doesn’t sound too bad with the pitched effect on it. I might have to invest in some more tools to clean up the samples and get a good tape deck that doesn’t over slide or warp when playing it back as it sounds a headache in the mix and hard to clean up with just filter EQs alone but I will get better and research the products I need to do the job properly. Since I can’t clear the samples it’s a free download on Bandcamp and I will try and do some more acapella-based sampling with the tape deck in the future which will be all free and on Bandcamp the place where all my free downloads are based on. I wanted to improve the songs I make and I think I improved it on this EP which I hope to make more like this in the future but it’s hard when I’m making songs day after day with no breaks it kind of takes the fun and feels to the songs kind of like being over saturated. I will add the original songs to the inspirational section on this site in the music section of the main menu on this site for those who haven’t heard it or want to catch up.

Bandcamp News – New Mixtape Release; Ghosting Radio Winter Mixtape 2022

BANDCAMP NEWS

12/12/2022 - New Mixtape Release; Ghosting Radio Winter Mixtape 2022

This year’s Christmas mixtape off my radio Ghosting Radio and is winter and festive music. If you want more music like this please tune in 6.00 pm – 10.00 pm GMT every day of the week up until the 28th of December for more Christmas and winter vibes. It is a mixed bag of music from House to more synthy stuff which I made and released but now most of it is unreleased tracks which can be found on my radio and Soundcloud. Once again another year has gone by 2023 next up let’s hope it’s a better year but I knew 2022 was the year of big change and it was the queen died which was a massive shock even though she was getting on a bit. But I hope next year is better and more productive for me even though I’ve been busy throughout the year making stuff and trying to get my name out there a bit more. I hope next year is better than this current year the queen died and COVID wasn’t good to mention what happened in the news just before the queen died but I won’t mention that. I don’t know what I’ll be doing this Christmas probably nothing special but staying at home and surfing the internet as usual lol. I’m lucky really as I like to spend time alone and I haven’t got anyone to buy presents for only one person but I like it that way it’s so much better and people may think I’m unlucky but I would disagree with them. Even though I’m alone I still think Christmas is a special time of the year and is always great for get-togethers and having fun which is all that I’m about in life. When I went to London I used to go to the church on Christmas Eve and how thrilling that is hearing the choir and the service itself I’m sort of religious but I follow Christian values and some beliefs rather than a person in the sky and of course Jesus but I like to think I have good values.  

Bandcamp News – New Mixtape Release; Don’t Be A Dummy Mixtape

BANDCAMP NEWS

02/12/2022 - New Mixtape Release; Don't Be A Dummy Mixtape

I’ve made a new mixtape of my older tracks all related to public information films or PIFS and is synthy and House vibes. The tracks are from Mind Field, Unsafe Dummies and Danger Ahead and are from the PIFS from the 70s and 80s. I actually made a visual first, which I didn’t know what to do with, so after a long think, I thought I’d make a mix that turned into a mixtape/mix I’m still rendering and editing, but I will let you know when it’s ready. As I said a few times, PIFS are quite intimidating and as a child, I learned a lot from them like not to smoke in bed or play with matches and also turn the fire off when asleep all the things I do till this day. I don’t really watch TV nowadays I haven’t seen many PIFS on TV apart from the ads they should put them on at night and when people watch TV as I feel they are great for learning and keeping safe. My favourite PIFS are the Charlie Says series and the pylons PIFS I used to watch them late at night when I woke up in the middle of the night and some of them put me back to sleep as I was so scared like the Don’t Give Fire A Chance PIF and also the smoking in the sofa one that one scared me as I knew a lot of smokers. In fact, they always remind me of night-time around 2.00 am onwards and also the chocolate bar Trios which were probably because the ads were on in the night too but I thought that were marketed for kids. I remember once I nearly was electrocuted by a toaster actually a blue spark came out it was quite big and I was lucky enough not to be electrocuted but the first thing I thought of was the PIF where she nearly gets electrocuted by a toaster and I thought next time I won’t be as lucky so I binned it not only that it got me back into watching PIFS and I hunted them all down on YouTube I used to have a collection of all the old ones but I thought I should have learned from her mistakes but I was lucky though. As I said before the visual version is on its way and also it can be found on Soundcloud where I post all my stuff once I mastered and sorted them but they are all the mix version.

Bandcamp News – New Mixtape Release; Synthia’s Mixtapes 4

BANDCAMP NEWS

20/05/2022 - New Mixtape Release; Synthia's Mixtapes 4

The last part of the series Synthia’s Mixtapes and is a free download on Bandcamp as they are tracks I once released and can’t put them out again as I’ve changed my artist name from Vision Of Colour to Gas No Light and those are the rules so I’m giving it away for free. The beats that I put on this mixtape are both upbeat and mellow tracks and all synthy stuff that are also instrumentals. There is a visual on its way which I’m uploading as we speak and that will be on my YouTube channel in the next hour or two so do lookout for it.  The idea behind the mixtape was a synthesizer robot with all the latest and rarest music gadgets and tools and one tool was to play music which is what the robot is playing synth beats. I jumped on the mic too for the tags as I wanted to make it a proper mixtape experience so I added that and other stuff to it so it felt like a mixtape. I know mixtapes are usually Hip Hop and R’n’B but I wanted to make something different and not that overdone or at least there aren’t that many synthesizer mixtapes I can’t think of any, so with the spare tracks and an idea I made up this series this is the last one of the series and I won’t be going back to it again.

Music News – New EP Release; Race Harmonies

NEWS

16/04/2022 - New Album Release; Race Harmomnies

I made this album ages ago but under a different name but I changed the name and released it on the 21st of March a couple of years ago which is anti-racism on that day and a good day to release a synthy instrumental album on a day against racism. I would like to say it’s gotten better over the decades but I feel it’s gone both ways and now is just a race row or war at the worse with what you identify with, that’s how I feel. The album is about racism and how I feel about and deal with it and being in the middle of the race row which is where I exactly want to be. But my experiences have been good and bad for all the right and wrong reasons. They say I’m lucky to be biracial as I’m in the middle but I feel it’s not and get it from all sides from the strangest stuff to the obvious I have been called all sorts of names for my race and background but I don’t care and I’m proud of who I am and I really don’t see what all the fuss is about when it comes to disliking someone because of their nationality, be proud of all you are and it’s not your fault they think everyone is the same as the next person lol, please read a book though….the right one!

The third part of the series Synthia’s Mixtapes and is a free download on Bandcamp as they are tracks I once released and can’t put them out again as I’ve changed my artist name from Vision Of Colour to Gas No Light and those are the rules so I’m giving it away for free. I put these beats on a mixtape album as I wanted to release them again as I liked them but I couldn’t put them on Spotify etc so I decided to give it away as a free download and as part of a four part series of synthy or synergy – synth beats with energy. I like to make synth beats on top of the House and Jungle and Drum & Bass and the other genres that I touch on now and then like UK Garage and UK Funky but when it comes to playing the keyboard I like to play over synthy tracks as I have more reign on the projects and gives me more ideas like creative wise but I like to make lots of different beats.Â
