04/04/2022 - New Mixtape Release; Synthia's Mixtapes 2

Part two of the Synthia’s Mixtapes series I’m doing is Vaporwave and general synthy beats from downtempo to upbeat and is a free download on Bandcamp. The idea came when I had a little visual and I thought to get the inventive side out of me and do something that was a little different from what I usually do which is just make music with no imagination and that’s boring I like to see if I could get a theme or feel from my music I make and most of the time I do but the rest is so so the stuff I don’t even finish making some tracks. The mixtape is a free download on Bandcamp but feels free to donate if you want. The mixtape was first recorded on a cassette tape but that didn’t go too well and I ended up deleting it and doing the normal version without the cassette deck as it came out soft and a bit hissy to enjoy the music but it did remind me of what it sounded like on a stereo.

Synthia’s Mixtapes is a free download on Bandcamp that was inspired by music and technology with the use of robots. The whole backdrop was Synthia is a musical robot with all the latest gadgets and accessories for the musician and has built-in speakers and MP3 sockets to play music where she finds the best ones and plays it oh it’s also set in space even though it doesn’t have a space theme in the songs, not these ones but funny enough I do have some that I will put out soon a space EP and mini album which I have finished already. They are some of the old tracks that I can’t release anymore as I can’t release them twice on the major platforms so I thought I’d make a mixtape and give it away for free. The mixtape is a synthesizer instrumental mixtape and a mixture of dark and light with upbeat and mellow tracks that I liked and thought it be a shame to waste the good tracks so I’m giving it away for free.

A House mixtape for you of famous songs but remixed as it’s been a while and felt like doing some House for the summer to come. I made the acapella’s myself or found them lying around and they are some of my favorite tracks the originals and only choose the best vocal samples and the beats of course. I’ve been making a series of it and I am also giving them away as a free download on Bandcamp as I can’t sell them without getting rights to their tracks and also it’s not what I make for the main genre so I’d thought I make it free. I remixed songs from both films and songs from all sorts of decades and eras and are some of my favorite films and songs though I’m more into my music than films and I can’t remember when I last saw a film probably a decade ago when I was watching TV and had a subscription to cable which gets boring after a while and I usually have it on in the background for the sound and busy doing stuff in the background. Now I listen to music and watch YouTube that’s all I need really but thank goodness for the internet as life would be boring without it and not much to do but the old stuff like board games, cards, and the tv and radio.

A synthy album around a holiday I took to Lizard Cornwall in 2017 and was all inspired by clips and places around the holiday and there were quite a lot of interesting places to visit. The holiday was nice or though I won’t get too much into it here as I’ve already made a blog post about it on the jack in box page in the testing site hub which can be found in the main hub of the main menu. But here’s a quick recap the weather was nice there were lots to see as I said and the locals were friendly there were many great moments and I enjoyed going to the beach after dark and also in the daytime I also enjoyed the lighthouse trip which was an old lighthouse that has been rebuilt several times over the centuries that was cool to look at. And also I enjoyed the museums and amusement parks we went to, they were fun days out but I had my dog so I couldn’t stay for too long which was the only drawback of the holiday but it was great to see her have fun in the sea on the dog-friendly beaches. I really didn’t expect to have dog-friendly beaches and that was a bit of a bother too but at least she saw the beaches in her later years.

A Christmas album of classic Christmas carols that I got from MIDI and made my own drum patterns and trimmings to it. It is a synth-based album and versions of Christmas carols that are some of my favorite and best-received ones. There’s something about going to a church around Christmas or Christmas Eve or on the day but I haven’t been for a while now I do enjoy the carols and the organ and choir it’s soothing and something that screams Christmas. My favorite time of year was Christmas as it was a chance to sing some carols and be merry but I loved the way there were melodies inside the carols that were catchy and fun to sing along to. The album is hopefully Christmasy and an album to wrap up the presents or get ready for whatever festive thing you are doing. It’s funny as Christmas is not my time of year now but I always loved Christmas and have recently started to decorate a little bit and be a bit more festive which is better than being a grouch who hates Christmas, and this is a free download.  

Bandcamp News – New Album Release; Unsafe Dummies

11/12/2021 - New Album; Unsafe Dummies

Unsafe Dummies is a synthy album I made ages ago that was around public information films or PIFs for short. The PIFs are from the 70s onwards and were the do’s and don’ts of the day and used to scare me as a kid watching them but I am a safe person and that is thankful to the PIFs as a child and watching the dangers of other people on TV. What I loved about them now looking back at them they were dramatic and quite intense and they always made you jump when you are not expecting it I wasn’t ready for some of the scenes but as I said it taught me lessons that I haven’t even crossed yet. The worst ones for me were the fire ones that were about smoking and heater fires I was always worried about putting it on or even the smokers in the house but I never fall asleep with a cigarette in my hand or though I have done before I was still half awake and don’t rest easy till the cigarette has been put out.  The other thing as well climbing on the pylons I always stayed clear from them and never messed around near them but I always saw them as hazardous. It’s a shame they don’t make them or much of them anymore and I think people learned a great deal from them no matter how shocking they were but I do miss them in a way the do’s and don’ts of the world and don’t forget to turn your tv off lol.
