09/03/2023 - New EP; All Said And Done

A House EP or it’s more like a single as there are three tracks. It’s Tech House, House with a bit of Deep House which is the last track on the single. I didn’t really intend to do a single and it was going to be an EP but I couldn’t be bothered to do the last track, I should start making more singles but with more remixes and the original track as I enjoy making remixes with the original track which I’ve done a few times now. I haven’t made Tech House for while now and the last track was in 2017 when I started making music again as I was making music in the mid-2000s but in 2017 I bought FL Studio and a sample pack which is all that I had at the start now I have lots of stuff like synth plugins, drums, and also stuff to improve the sound like EQ filters and hardware filters to scope the sound. I like to buy synth plugins and other plugins and even though they are quite expensive it’s always worth it just as long as they don’t break down also updating them takes some time which is why I don’t really update them that much. When it’s all said and done it’s all down to you or though it’s cool to rely on people I think only you can look after yourself and it’s important to rely on yourself and most importantly keep yourself happy and focused only you can do that and relying on people to keep you happy shouldn’t always be done but spending time by yourself and doing what you want to do should always be put first but having people around is important even though I don’t really need no one as I’m in my own world doing creative stuff and keeping busy with stuff I enjoy doing which is a lot of things actual but all creative stuff. 

Music News – New EP Release; Raver’s Anonymous

07/03/2023 - New EP Release; Raver's Anonymous

An Acid House EP with one Acid House with Break music track which is the first track on the EP. I was lucky as I noticed on all the junk I bought or all the junk I use IE synths I noticed I had the TB-303 plugin which is the Acid Line plugin and the hardware is made by the music company Roland for those who didn’t know or don’t know what the TB-303 is but to sum it up it makes acid house music and was the chosen instrument for people who made House music and also Techno in the late 80’s to the mid-90s where by around 1995 music had moved and changed again into more soulful stuff or it was around me. Out of the 80s and 90s, I do prefer 80s Acid House and I like the fact they only used it in parts, not in the whole song like most 90s Acid House where people just wanted to hear the B line with the drums and vocals over it but they would do with just the instrumental as people loved to hear the new sound or new at the time sound the sound of the TB-303. It is a shame the illegal raves circuit is no more and is now illegal to have a rave say on a field, for example, I would love for it to still be around as I would be out a lot more but ah that’s life or is it Bistro. The closet I got to a field rave was what I would call the hometown Glastonbury Festival but it still brought in some big DJs and names as this is Bristol you never know what’s happening but it’s been quiet for me for over a decade now I need to get out more and live a little it’s boring being stuck in doors all day.

Frolic Farm

This is the demo EP to my also free download VST plugin which I made the sounds myself using sounds I found online and FXs which I layred over the farm animal noises. I would call it synth music and is something I just put together as a demo but you can have it. The plugin can be found under the Free Downloads page under the G.N.L. Hub>VST Downloads where free VSTs await

FARMYARD FROLLICS VST PLUGIN [FREE DOWNLOAD]

A free VST Plugin and a bit of fun it’s of farm sounds with extra knobs to twiddle with and experiment with. I did leave the sounds as they were but I was going to make sounds but I like the idea of experimenting and coming up with different sounds and rhythms but I might make another one with more sounds you can use straight off unless you are using the sounds for other then making music then this plugin may be for you. It has 20 of the main sounds of the farm including a cow, a duck, a chicken, a horse, a pig, a sheep and lamb, a donkey, a rooster, a turkey, a rabbit, a frog, birds chirping, a goose, chicks, a cricket, a dog and cat and even the llama.  As I said before it also comes with extra knobs to fiddle with such as flanger, delay, reverb, LFO, chorus, phaser and knobs for attack, decay extra. I do encourage you to use extra plugins on the sounds I used filters from Arturia on all the demo songs below and Fab Filters to smooth things out a bit but apart from that all the things used were from the plugin itself. I used Romplur to make the plugin and I used their website and stuff to make the GUI cover which I like and I think looks different and a bit public information film or PIF for short as I always type after each time. These are royalty free sounds and you can use them for any genre as they are just sounds with extra options but I made two synthy tracks, a Reggaeton track and House track with the sounds using one or two paired FXS at  a time. I could have added more but I wanted to stay with the main animals on the farm and did a bit of research on the animals you will found on a farm which are all on this list. I called it Farmyard Frollics as I wanted something fun like I hope the plugin will be and I thought there was something funny about frolics but I spelt it with two ls by accident actually but then I remembered something I read ages ago that plugins are meant to be spelt wrong or different so it all worked out fine in the end.  Making this plugin does make me want to get back out there and start on them country walks again as I love to walk and seem to over walk until I’m too far and realise I have gone way to far and wished I didn’t walk so far and that I was at home again but my dog seemed to love it R.I.P. There something about going to the country side and seeing all those sites and sounds and feeling quite relax but saying that I’ve been on some noisy walks with the tractors and ducks and animals making a racket but it’s always fun to be out in the open I’m too busy in doors now a days which is a shame but in the summer I must try and get out a bit more that’s the plan anyway but I do like being in front of the computer a lot.

Music News – New EP Release; Year’s Go By

27/02/2023 - New EP Release; Year's Go By

A synthy EP of Synthwave stuff I made and now on all the major platforms. I called it Year’s Go By as they say time is flying by and I barely remember what I did the other year which feels like I lost my mind a little lol not lol. I was born in the 80s so what that’s now under 4 decades on this earth and it’s hard to say how much it has changed for the good and for the worst or though I feel there is some sort of back peddling going on and a fight with humanity more then ever. They say the world is going get more manic and that might be true who knows but with real threats of destruction it’s hard to tell what is going to happen but I know you can’t stop the threat of things like terrorism and global disasters from happening and that’s just the world we live in now a days and forever. I do miss being young though and living in a more stress free environment but I’m not going lie I do like being a adult and  enjoy having the privileges of some things that kids don’t get but I miss being young but most importantly being in a more safer environment. But saying that things are more easy to get at like the things you want and it’s reasonable well some of it is and I ain’t talking the silly stuff that has no meaning to me like fashion items but I do like fashion though it’s just I’m more Primark lol, okay call me cheap then. Talking of fashion I decided not to but that NAFA jacket online I didn’t know if it was real or not and there was no way of verifying it so I saved my money but I do like retro designs from the 80s and 90s and would re wear them if I shopped fashionable for a change but my style is a hoodie and jeans with trainers and you can’t go wrong with that.

Decades Of Synthesizers – Selection 1

As part of my live music sessions, I recorded and put on YouTube for your entertainment. This is the 70s edition so all the old retro synthesizers from that era. I would name them but I can’t remember which synth plugins they are but I know I used the Moog for some of the tracks. I will be making more live sessions real soon so if you want to see that or any of the demos I made please go to my YouTube channel @GasNoLight.

Safety First

A special album of songs I made from Public Information Films from mostly the 50s and onwards from America. Some of them are British Public Information Films otherwise called PIFS but mostly are from America from table manners, Marijuana, Communists, gambling and more. It’s an old album which I made around 2018 but I thought I’d give it away for free. 

It’s A Jungle

A quick Jungle/Drum and Bass mini album of tracks I made from 2017 onwards and features clips from Marilyn Monroe, Snow White, Dark And Lonely Water (Public Information Film,) Bill Clinton, Thunderbirds and the Pylon Public Information film. For more information on the tracks used alongside my track please head to G.N.L. Hub>Insprations in the main menu.

Haunting Time

A special Halloween EP I made around 2019 and features clips from Twilight Zone, The House Of Wax, Teletubbies and Children Of The Corn. There were more tracks but they didn’t come out as well so I decided to make an EP instead of the ones I liked and came out alright.
