02/11/2023 - New EP; The Last Time

Happy New Year people I hope everyone had a nice night I didn’t do much but ah maybe next year. I made this EP now last year now and is another House music club party EP for you. I love to make House music quite a lot nowadays and seems to be the most popular so I thought I make more since I enjoy making it and is more popular than the other stuff I make but I will make more of the other stuff one day lol. The first track Born is a club party track that I think would be good for dancing and has a club/rave feel to it. It’s one of my favorites on the EP as I like the club feels to it and is good for stepping you can’t beat a bit of one-two-step music ha. I got all the vocals from the same place Splice.com and I think has the best club vocals that are good to go and don’t take much messing about IE putting FXs and other things on them. The next track Just is another favorite on the EP and is something I would have on in the background it’s not the most danceable track but the bass and the rhythms make the track and I think is something to enjoy. I like the vocals on the track and I also like the bass too I have a wide range of bases now but I tend to use the most bassy basses as I like my bass bassy and loud. I would say the track has club appeal to it and is something you could play in a club but is not the track to go wild with and is a steady pace track I would say. The next track May U is another bassy house club track that you could dance or bop to if you are not in the club. It’s another favorite on the EP and I would say my overall favorite on the EP as I like the bass and I also love the vocals to this one it makes it more vibey and clubby. I would say you could dance to it and is another track to two step to or skip to and is the stuff I tend to listen to in my spare time when I’m not making music or when I go out I love to listen to tracks like this and just lose the time and before you know it the lights are on and it’s over. 🙁 The last track Around The Corner was inspired by Christmas coming around the corner and now it’s over for another year but I based the title and the music on Christmas and was my House Christmas song even though you could listen to it throughout the year. I like the bass and again I love the vocals it’s a kind of opera that I ran to by accident and thought I could use the vocals for something special or what it was intended for. I would say it’s similar to Deep House and has a calm and pleasurable feel to it and is something you could have in the background or at the start of a night before you go out. You don’t hear a lot of Opera in House music so I think it’s unique and works quite well for Deep House and other genres similar to that. It’s not my favorite on the EP but I like it and think it’s some good music to listen to.

Music News – Merry Synthnmas Vol. 2

26/11/2023 - New Album; Merry Synthmas Vol. 2

More Christmasy tracks and Vol 2 of this year’s carols that are remixed to the future. This time it’s all Synthwave or synthy tracks. Again I picked my favourite and some of them I liked and sang in school. It’s been a few years since I made a Christmas carol album so I thought I would make it and remake it more synth as the title does say synthmas so it does suggest lots of use from synthesizers. Again just to point out the obvious merry synthymas is a sort of play on the words merry Christmas and has the words synthesizer and Christmas in the title. I only know the most famous carols and Christmas hymns so it was hard to make up another 12-track album with new songs so I decided to remake my favourite and choose some other’s I didn’t consider last time. Watch Their Flock is the hymn Whilst Shepherds Watch Their Flock By Night and is a Christmasy Synthwave track with the 80s drums and Christmasy synthesizers which I think make the songs on this one and has that Christmas feel to it I think. It’s not one of my favourites on the album but I enjoy it and would be something or something I would listen to around Christmas. Holly is from the Christmas carol The Holly And The Ivy and has this Christmas feel to it with something that sounds a bit like a Haripschord with the fat bass over it. It has an 80s feel to it too and I would describe it as a bit mellow and a bit Hip Hopy with the synths that play after the main melody of the song and carry the song making it a bit different from the last version. The next song Christmas Tree is from the Christmas song O Tannenbaum or Oh Christmas Tree I like the laid back but melodic and uncertain feel to it and brings it into the future. It’s one of my favourite carols to sing even though I have forgotten all the lyrics but I like the melody to it and the ending to each bit which does get tiring on the singing side but it’s a nice Christmas song I think. The next track Ye Merry is from God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen and is something a little bassy, dancy and a bit different and also fun. I like the fun side to this song and isn’t necessarily Christmasy but might be fun for the Christmas party with alcohol involved. Like all the songs it has an 80s backdrop with the drum patterns which I made myself and love doing 80s drum patterns, especially electro stuff. Night Silent the next track is from Silent Night and is something a bit different to the album and Christmas. Well, I say that something samey something different. I like the calm feel of it and the different synths which can be heard from the start of the first synth. It’s one of my favourites on the album as I think it’s quite a soothing song to listen to and also Christmasy. Three Ships is from the hymn I Saw Three Ships Sailing In and is a funky Synthwave track. It’s also another bassy track and an old favourite one to sing to and reminds me of school and also singing it in church Christmas time in the early 2000s. Noel is from the hymn First Noel and another favourite on the album. I like the calm and soothing feel that reminds me of Christmas and winter. It’s a good track to unwind and just relax by the fire or whatever which is what it reminds me of. Ye Faithful the next track is from Come On Ye Faithful and is another favourite on the album as I like the Christmasy jolly feel to it which starts at the beginning of the track. I also like the bass and the chorus to the track which is the main bit of the song and is repeated a few times. It definitely reminds me of Christmas and again is something I would play around Christmas and hopefully you do too. The next track This Child is from What Child Is This and is again one of my favourites on the album as I like the electro bass to it and the Christmas feel to it. It has a whole lot of bounce to it which I like and the standard drum patterns but I think the bass makes the song with the synthesizer you hear at the beginning of the track and goes throughout the track. The next track Good King is from Good King Wenceslas and is another jolly upbeat version of the song and isn’t my favourite but I like it all the same. I like the upbeat feel to it and is one of my favourite hymns to sing and is one of my favourites overall. I think it’s another song that reminds me of Christmas and is something to get drunk with or have fun doing whatever you think is fun. The next track Three Kings is from We Three Kings Of Orient Are and again one of my favourites on the album as I like the bass and the synths which make it funky. I also like the bits of the chorus which I think makes the song with the bit before that. I would say it’s my favourite overall track on the album and also reminds me of winter but especially the holidays. The last track on the album and to finish this edition of Merry Synthmas is Lang Syne and is from the New Year’s song Old Langs Syne and as if I had to tell you that. It has a calm feel to bring in the New Year of 2024 and is not something I have done before or considered to have the Merry Synthmas album but I thought I put it on as something different and relaxing. Well if you celebrate Christmas or whatever you celebrate have a nice Christmas and also a Happy New Year or though I’ll be posting more during that time just in case Merry Christmas and A Happy New Year.

Chrisizer VST [FREE DOWNLOAD]

CHRISIZER VST PLUGIN [FREE DOWNLOAD]

It’s that time of year again it’s once again Christmas so I got into the festive mood by making another VST. I again used Romplur and this time Christmas sounds from Pixabay I used different FXs on the sounds and they were mostly hardware filters, but I like the sounds and think they came out well. There are 40 sounds 8 arp-type sounds and the rest is keys which is Christmas synthy sounds and some voice one too. It’s not all Christmas stuff and I would say you could use it in most genres. I used it on House, Synthwave and Jungle/Drum and Bass in my demo tracks which you can find below on this page but you are free to try it out on something else. The plugin for Windows and Mac has all the main knobs to shape your sound to what you like and has features like delay, reverb, chorus, phaser, HP and LP filters, glide, voice amount and the main features like attack, decay, sustain and release. I called it Chrisizer as it’s half the word Christmas and the other half is from synthesizer I wanted to have a Christmasy name and that was the best I could think of to be honest but I like it. I made the GUI in the picture above I used the Romplur website and their stuff to make it and I also used Gimp a free Photoshop program as Adobe takes ages to load and I always seem to have some sort of issue with it but Gimp works a treat. Below is a demo video with all the sounds in the VST and three demo tracks I made which is a mix genre single I put together so you can see the finished sound, anyway enjoy the free download and Merry Christmas.

Music News – Merry Synthnmas Vol. 1

December 6, 2023

Music News

26/11/2023 - New Album; Merry Synthmas Vol.. 1

Something a little Christmasy and Vol 1 of my Synthmas Christmas IE synthesizer music with a Christmas twist. It’s an old album I made years ago and decided to release as a main album for Christmas. This year I did Vol 2, which is also up on all major platforms and is more synth stuff than this one as this one is a mixed-genre album but I’ll be posting that in the next week or two a little bit about the album so stay tuned for that. The twelve-track album is of Christmas carols and hymns which I picked as my favourite for this album. I enjoy Christmas carols in the church but I haven’t been for a while it gets me in the Christmas mood. I found the MIDI files online from various websites so shout out for the recordings.  The first track Three Kings is a synthy track which has a choir on the track and is one of my favourites on the album or though I could have made the choir a bit better but it’s okay I suppose. The track is from We Three Kings of Orient and is my favourite carol or at least one of them. I like to make a choir version one day maybe next year as next will be a winter album but I have a few releases up or to be released soon so look out for them. The next track another favourite on the album Holly and is from Holly And The Ivy another favourite and well-known Carol. The song has this 70s bass to it with a melodic melody to the carol and also it has this bright Harpsichord sound that I think makes the song. The next track The Good King is from Good King Wenceslas and another favourite Christmas carol and carol on the album as I like the 80s feel to it without it being too Synthwave but it’s a synthy house number it’s kind of chilled but upbeat at the same time and has this cool feel to it which I like quite a lot. The next track Hark The Herald is from Hark! The Herald Angels Sing and yet again another favourite on the album. I like the arp and the 80s bass it’s quite a chilled track and one of the chilled tracks on the album. It definitely reminds me of Christmas this one and is something I play quite a lot around Christmas time. The next track Ye Gentlemen is from God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen and is one of my favourite carols yet another one. A bit of a change for this one and is a Reggae-infused track which I also like to play around Christmas and is something different. The next track This Child is from What Child Is This and is a House track again something different and something a bit bassy and Christmasy another track that feels like Christmas probably cos I play it around Christmas and also on my radio Ghosting Radio every day from 8.00 PM – 12.00 AM, Monday to Friday and 6.00 PM – 12.00 AM, Saturday and Sunday from the 25th of November to 31st of December GMT every year. The next track Ye Faithful is from Come All Ye Faithful and is a relaxing track not one of my favourites in general and on the album but I do like it. It reminds me of New Year’s Eve and also Christmas as I think the synths make the track or though I think it’s so so but I do like it. The next track Noel is from First Noel and is yet again another favourite in general as in carols and also on the album. I like the synths and the bass which I think it goes together quite well and I like the bit that comes in the quarter a way in the track, it also reminds me of Christmas I think it’s got a nice Christmas feel to it. The next track Do You Hear What I Hear is from the carol Do You See What I See. It has yet another 80s bass with synth music and relaxing drums or generic but it goes with the synth stuff.  I like the follow-on patterns and the flute-like sound it makes it feel Christmasy but also funky. The next track Away In The Manger is from the carol Away In The Manger and is another funky favourite on the album. I made it a bit more upbeat and it has this Hip Hop feel which reminds me to do more Hip Hop sometime as I enjoy making it and haven’t made any for a while now. The next track Watch Their Flock is from Whilst Shepheards Watch Their Flock By Night and is another favourite carol and also on the album. I like the bass and the synth stuff which again makes it Christmasy and gets you in the mood for Christmas.  The last track Night Silent is from Silent Night and another favourite on the album and in general. I like the calm peaceful of it which I think is quite relaxing and again Christmasy for some reason it reminds me of Christmas Eve and also Boxing Day.

Music News – New EP; Holding Onto Time

17/11/2023 - New EP; Holding Onto Time

Another four-track House EP and something for the dancefloor as always. I felt like doing some more House as I was in the mood but I was taking a break from The Sims 4. By the way sorry for the unwanted Sims 4 emails if you got emails from me I’m shuffling it out as I moved from Sims 3 to 4 so I didn’t put the right settings in but if you want Sims 4 updates then please go to Creation Zone>Gaming Lounge>Sims 4 Downloads on this website and scroll down to any of the pages after that including the main page where you can sign up for live updates for Sims 4. The first track Past Time is a bassy club track and is vocal like all the tracks as I like to add vocals in all my House tracks and most of my Jungle Drum & Bass which I haven’t made for a while and might be something I’ll do in the future. I called it Past Time as I like to keep occupied and do stuff as I always say and said a few times now I don’t like to sit around and do nothing and like to pass time doing stuff not watching films or TV or even playing the computer nowadays I like to do creative stuff and has to be something hands-on and also easy to use. I like the first track and thought it was a good club track or something for the workout/gym and also in the background wherever you are. It has the Tech House vocals which I like and tend to use quite a lot in my tracks and used them in a few tracks now as it’s one of the vocal styles I go for in my tracks. The second track Dorothy Lands Awaits is for the people stuck in a tornado IE too much fantasy and not enough reality and also for the YouTubers who spread false information on their conspiracy channels. As I said before I love a conspiracy but when it goes too far like when they say something nasty like a nasty rumour and that person is dead or even if they are not it’s like having some respect. It’s probably like they don’t mean it some of them and they generally think that it’s true but some stuff is just silly and some things are sick. I see a lot of people digesting unsavoury food and some people are just born guinea pigs and need a feeder or something. Dorothy Land Awaits is a Deep House mellow vibe another one for the speakers and also something mellow as it’s not that fast-paced and I think is relaxing in a way. The third track Doll has no meaning I just thought it was a good title as comes from the title you doll and is shortened to doll so I thought I’d name it that also it sounds like she saying doll in the vocals but I still haven’t figured out why she saying I think it’s actually so what. The track has more bass, vocals and House four-by-four beats and is one of my favourites on the EP so was the last one actually Dorothy Land Awaits. The last track On Repeat is also one of my favourites on the EP and is something to dance to as all the tracks but I like to dance to stuff like this and something old school as well. It reminds me of old 80s or 90s House tracks which I think it’s the bass that makes it feel that way as well as the dusty claps which I like and think it moves the song onwards to the next bit. I like the vocals too and think it also makes the song and I think goes well with the bass and drums but you can be the judge of that we all have different tastes.

06/10/2023 - New EP; A Lil Funky

A bit of a change a UK Funky EP with four UK Funky-inspired club tracks. I got the drums online but I made the bass and some of the drum and percussion loops. I’ve made a few UK Funky EPs and one album but this is my favourite EP of the lot and I went for more bass, percussion and drums instead of using synths which I used to like using a lot in my rave stuff but I now like the stripped back versions which makes the bass and drums stand out more with the vocals on top. All the tracks have vocals which I got from my online subscription with Splice.com you find some good ones from that site even though they say not to send off the tracks with the samples used in Splice.com to any record company. The first track Feeling The Time is not my favourite on the EP probably my least favourite but I like it. I like the vocals which I got from a vocal sample pack which I brought from Loopmasters.com when I was buying more loops than one shot (one-hit sounds). The next song Just Called To Say is one of my favourites on the EP and I was quite pleased with it, to be honest. Again I found the samples on Splice and the second track already had the telephone fx on which I liked and knew I would make a good track with it. It gave me a few variations to chuck up in the air and I thought it was a good club track to dance to or a song to play loud in the car. I like the vocals but I like the bass too and is over a standard UK Funky drum pattern nothing too wild and nice and simple to make. The third song How It Feels (Bet They Don’t Tell Ya) is my overall favourite from the EP I like the bass and the vocals which gives it that club feel with the bass and the UK Funky drum pattern. I love vocals like this and also gives it that deep feel or warehouse room feel which I love, I was lucky to find the vocals and were exactly in my downloads of unused samples I think. I liked it for a later date so I was pleased when I rediscovered it. I think it goes with the beat and I would say one of my favourites for the moment of all-time stuff I made I would say. The last track We Make is another favourite of mine on the EP but not the most favourite I think it’s a good song for drinking and partying and I like the bass and vocals the pitched vocals make a change to the ones I usually use but I like to use a wide range of vocals, what I like the most and that is suitable to the track. The vocals say we make music and that’s what I love to do so this is also going out to all the music makers worldwide doing your thing.

05/10/2023 - New EP; Journey Through Life

I made another EP this time it’s Synthwave and a bit of a change from what I usually do. The EP is all Electro Funk with some quick-paced tracks and some mellow tracks also. I enjoy making Synthwave and don’t make too much of it but I have done a few now and this has to be my favourite from what I have done already it seems it’s getting better each time. The first track The Pleasure Is All Mine is a melodic medium-pace-track that I like and is one of my favourites from the EP as I like the melodic sound to it which I played on my keyboard. It reminds me of sounds for the king or Queen as it’s a triumph track and as if you are walking in a king’s or queen’s quarters for some reason but that’s the impression I’m getting from the first track. The second track Crunchy is another medium-paced track and more throwback 80s vibes. The title was inspired by my test results when I took a DNA test for a laugh which determined I had a crunchy head and I thought crunchy would be a good title for a track so I did. The track reminds me of the Micheal Jackson video Beat It or Moonwalker the movie also starring Michael Jackson. I think has the same feel to it as I think the drums make the track and make it sound that way, I did it myself using Zenhesier 80s Drumkit. It definitely reminds me of being in an 80’s smoky club or being in some sort of 80’s scenario like in the gym and is also one of my favourites on the EP. The next track on the EP Livid Living is a slow-sounding track. I didn’t plan on making it sad but I was going for slow but after hearing it again I thought how sad it sounded so it’s a sad track. The track or one of the synthesizers is kind of out of tune I think two synths are. I noticed some of the most famous synth bands are making out of tuned tracks so I thought I’d leave it in as that as I liked the sound to it and it made it sound sadder or what I was going for melodic but relaxing. I like to make relaxing tracks as I like to listen to relaxing tracks and also I have a radio station called Ghosting Radio which I put all my music on the station and it has set shows like night time etc. I called it Livd Living as I thought it sounded like a good title and also the state of the world today with all the recessions and illness but I won’t go into that lol. The last track Calling Cards is a fast-paced track and the fastest on the EP it’s a general Synthwave track but from the Electro Boogie genre which was what it was inspired by. It has a dark undertone to it and a melodic feel and is my overall favourite from the EP as I like the chorus bit the most which I played. I play all the key bits and do the basses and the drums the whole thing basically. It reminds me of credit music from the 80s but I’m not sure what genre of movie it is from probably horror I feel but it could be any 80s movie or even TV credits but more movies.

04/10/2023 - New EP; Seeing You Tomorrow

I’m back with another House EP I felt like doing some more House so I made some more but I’ve been making House and a bit of Jungle/Drum & Bass throughout the summer which summer is over now so I’ll be making more synthy stuff but still make House and Jungle/Drum & Bass throughout the Autumn and Winter. I still haven’t made my winter or Christmas album yet which as always I’m not sure what to do but there will be one or maybe a couple of EPS or a Christmas album and a winter album who knows? I didn’t really have a reason why I called it seeing you tomorrow and thought it just sounded like a good title for an EP. The EP is all vocal House and more club vibes for your bedroom or wherever you are and doesn’t have any synth sounds it’s pure bass, drums and vocals which I feel makes the tracks sound better and more clubby. I like my music dark and dingy but I also like my uplifting tracks too so I put one on this EP or I liked the vocals and what it said it’s on the second track You Better (Keep Going) and reminds me of 2000’s late 90s House or what we tend to hear nowadays particularly in the 2010s also when there was a lot of good House music floating around and reviving of old House tracks like Jack Your Body, The House Music Anthem so many actually and all the best ones. The third track is a Tech House track called Darkness Follows Me which is my favourite track on the EP and a song for the dancefloor I like the vocals and the bass on the track but is what I would or should I say partly would listen to on a night out I say that as I like a lot of different music but I don’t really care for Dubstep or anything similar or though I do like aggressive sounds and growler basses just stuff with a bit of rhythm to. The last track is more Deep House but more club tracks I say Deep House as it has that slow but quick pace beat to it with the deep bass but it’s not the deepest bass. I would like to make some Deep House some proper Deep House with lushness and big basses I’ve never made a full song from scratch without loops before but that will be something for the future since I just thought of it lol.  I’ve made a few that did resemble Deep House before but I haven’t really got the right synths and basses but I will be doing some research on that probably as soon as I finish typing this up, so if you like Deep House please stay tuned for some.

DUNGEON VST PLUGIN [FREE DOWNLOAD]

I made another VST free to download it’s a Halloween special and I used an old Yahama keyboard for the sounds and put FXS on them to change the sound, I also designed the GUI to the plugin which as always I enjoyed doing the most apart from making the sounds for the VST which I also enjoyed the most. I named it Dungeon to go with the Halloween theme and because it’s a dark-sounding VST and you can’t get any darker than a dungeon. I used an old photo I took which was around 2010 of the woods when it was getting dark it is one of my favourite photos I took other than the one I took with my dog the same day with her in a misty background in the background it looked like she was standing on her legs and her eyes were all lit up, I should dig it up again one day and try to use it in something but I have no idea what. As always I used Romplur to make the VST with the Romplur website to put the GUI together which didn’t take that long I also used online FXs for a change to make the main background picture for the GUI. I wanted to make something diverse so I made or as I wished to I ended up with various sounds that would be good for soundtracks of all types including atmospheric soundtracks so I’m pretty happy with the outcome and with the new plugin. I rent to own which is paid in small bits and it’s yours once you pay off the balance no extra charges and you can cancel whenever you want. I love the scheme and I’ve been doing it on Splice since they introduced the thing I can’t remember when that was but it wasn’t that long ago. I used Infiltrator 2 plugin to change the sounds and transform them it’s the newest plugin I got and I’m still trying to get to grips with it so I used the presents for now until I know how to use it properly but it sounds good still unsure how much or how many times you can change the sound to a different texture but I like it. As always the plugin comes with built-in FX to further change it like Reverb, Delay, Chorus, LFO Routing, Chrous, Glide, Cutoff for High Pass and Low Pass Filters and more. The plugin is suited for all genres as it’s a synth but also good for Halloween and Horror soundtracks and songs and also dark and moody tracks but I made it with Halloween and Horror tracks in mind.  Below is the demo video with all the sounds in the video and also 4 tracks which show off the sounds some more and are all different genres to get a feel for what it can and can not do but something Halloweeny and also can be found on my Bandcamp free download page since it’s Halloween.
