22/07/2023 - New Album; Tales Of The Dark Side

Halloween has come early this year with this year’s album. The tracks are a bit longer than usual as they mostly have intros at the beginning of the track which I enjoyed making them and was a bit different and something I don’t usually do. Still, I felt like something special for Halloween and for it to be dark and melodic. It’s precisely 4 EPs in one album with different concepts for each EP. The first one, Messy Future, is about a dystopian future and the start of the end of mankind. The second one Welcome To The Circus is about a haunted circus that goes from town to town haunting the spectators with their horrific acts and brutal ways.  The third EP is about being in a haunted house of this girl who lived there since she died of the common cold in Victorian times now she chases people out with her haunting ways. The last part of the EP or album is remixes of the songs on the album and I couldn’t think of another story so I just decided to do some remixes I know people like House music so I did that instead. It was going to be another Synthscape but I couldn’t find a long enough bit to make the Synthscape up and I decided it was good for an intro on an album and then I decided to make more intros and make the songs longer. The FXs on the intros are mangled-up audio of a mix I made it came out funny the first time and I managed to duplicate how it came out and made my synth-scapes out of them which are mangled audio with synthesizers I played over the mangled sounds and is what the FXs on this album is as well. I must admit it’s hard to keep coming up with stuff for Halloween and Christmas, I like to make something interesting and something I don’t or haven’t done and I’ve been making Halloween and Christmas music since 2017 and it’s getting harder each year which is why I like to do concept albums quite a lot as it’s gives me more to think about and be more creative with. This year it’s all twists and plots and I enjoyed making the music as well as the intros. I did have some old Halloween EPs I was meant to put out but was too busy and forgot about them too but I put the best one on the EP which was the Welcome To The Circus EP I made that 2019. I do hope to sell some of the songs to TV and film I know the intros sound interesting I don’t know about the songs themselves but I’m using Ditto Music a music distributor which lets you release music to all the major music platforms like Spotify, Apple Music, Deezer, YouTube Music and many more for £19 a year but they have a publishing offer for £30 to pitch your songs to sellers in the TV and Film fields so I’m going for that. I am a bit sceptical but we will see I am hopeful though as I think some of my songs are good stuff for TV but I’m not the expert.  As you might of tell I like to use my imagination and it’s good to think of a whole plot without actually writing them down as I like quick things even though I do enjoy making stories and fake characters up it’s always fun but I would write a book but it takes too long.  I like to be serious too and do more serious stuff like this album I made it was another fun way to get creative and do a concept EPs or album but what to do for next year or Christmas….??????>>>>>stay tuned!!!!!

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.

Music News – New EP Release; Striking Hour

07/01/2023 - New EP Release; Striking Hour

To welcome in the new year with a Synthwave EP. I actually was testing out an old synth plugin which I love it has some good Synthwave sounds on them and by that, I mean authentic Synthwave or 80s synth music sounds. The EP is mostly energetic apart from the first track which is the slowest of the four and some of the tracks have Blues and a bit of Jazz incorporated in them. I had to get out the 80s drum kit for this one and used it in all my tracks as even though I have a good collection of drums I struggle to remember which one goes on what genre for that authentic look. Last year was alright I suppose but I could have done better with some things I hope 2023 will be a better year for me and I don’t really do much nowadays apart from making music and other things to keep me sane and active. I know a lot of people are now happy being at home and doing nothing but what they want to do but I’m going the other way and having my time at home now I really want to get out there and be young and active again which I was active when I was younger and did a lot of things as I said on my other website and in the about section of both this website and randomgas.com. I called it Striking Hour for new year’s but also when the clock hits that time be ready to do the dash so yes a bit of Cinderella-inspired bit to the title of the album. I don’t really make much Synthwave so it was good to make some and I think it came out alright though I know I could do a little better with adding more textures and stuff to the songs I’m happy with them and I hope you like them to be honest but I will be making more Synthwave and other 80s genres in the near future.

29/12/2022 - New EP Release; Snowman On The Hill

More winter synthy vibes as it was sort of cold out I say sort of as -2 ain’t -40 but it was icy and cold like the ridiculous cold but not as bad as some other places in the world. I love it when it snows though it’s when I like to go out and make snowmen and walk in the snow when I had my dog Patch we used to go out every year when it was snowing she used to love the snow I haven’t been out for years in the snow since she passed away but I do like winter walks in the snow just as long as it’s not that slippery. This EP is not Christmas related but about winter though it could be played around Christmas if you want. I also like to make winter music in the winter as I probably said a few times now and I also like listening to winter music whilst snowing to get that proper feel to it hopefully this EP will suit you well. When I was on Flickr I used to take pictures of the snow down country lanes and stuff and they came out the terrible, cheap cameras if you ask me but it was nice to have some photos of the snow and me and the dog and the snowman but I do prefer summer but winter is a time I either like to stay in or go out sometimes it’s too cold to go out or I’m just tired or if it’s too slippery out there. Mind you I didn’t look forward to the winter when I was growing up hanging around in those streets night after night with my two layers and Wooley hat we used to hang around the back of the supermarket when it was proper cold but so obvious as the police were always called. I remember on  New Year’s Eve it was how cold it was I was pissed let’s say and I vowed never to be in the cold again not that I kept to promise now I enjoy staying in in the hot and cold weather but I do want to change that and get out a bit more.
