im glad to say ive finally got round to putting a track together ,,,this one is done in 3/4 time and hopefully will spawn a load more new tracks for you all ..yay 
the track is called back on track ...enjoy
I put this little song together using loops and samples. What makes it mine is the arrangement and how I use those sounds. For those that do not know me or my music background I have a history of making all kinds of music. I have been classicaly trained, and took lessons. I play guitar, bass, keyboards, alto sax, tenor sax, and a variety of other live instruments and I can read music too. Took classes in Music Theory I & II for math credits. SO why use samples? I say why not? A sample is just a sample sitting alone. If it sounds good use it!!! Some times I make my own samples or I'll go in and create an arrangement using midi for what I am working on. You can take samples and re-sample them changing every single sound property too. Just because a sample was used does not make it any less creative. You have to take the time to arrange, mix, and master. This is no different from a band going into a recording studio and a producer cleaning up the multi track recordings using Pro Tools. Same damn thing. Yes I have been in recording studios too and learned a lot. Producing takes a lot of work and skill. Also, mixing and mastering of sound is a skill too. Some people may not be able to write a song but they are amazing on the mixing board dealing with sound placement. Many of you know I have several projects featuring a wide variety of genres which are often spliced together. The Kåra project features JimsAE doing live guitars, bass, vocals with a variety of music we make including classical influences.
There is LetterstotheDevil, where the only thing programmed is the drums. Scott Moricle did live vocals, lyrics,
some programing & guitar work too. Jordan Chaliel did guest vocals on the project.
I did majority of the guitars, bass, and live synths. The project featured metal, rock, industrial and electronic influences. For that project what you hear on the recording is what you get live, including the programmed drums. No going back to punch in or fix anything. So when we played it had to be perfect. We spent more time doing live practice runs than we did recording. A lot of hard work and time went into it. What we call a labor of love because we love to make all kinds of music!!! Last the current project RëëKëR. On this electronic project anything goes. Blending of Drum & Bass, Dubstep, Industrial, and pretty much any electronic genre or sub genre out there. What my goal is for the project is to mix anything and everything to get something different.I encourage others to take the road less traveled and have fun with music. Music is supposed to be fun It is also supposed to be creative and there are many ways to acheive that regardless of songwriting, structure, no structure,or genre. Music is music a combo of notes, rythmns, melodies, and the mathmatics of it. It is up to us to create the magic.
We wrote it, we sang it, and made this..: Don't Want To Dance Alone...

Bio:
Emotional, Gutsy, Undeniable…
Robin is a powerful Americana singer songwriter who sings from her soul, writes from her heart and puts it all out there for every performance. When Robin sings everyone listens. She has a special way of grabbing the entire room with her first breath and holding on to them with every story telling note, almost as if time is standing still. She is magnetic, engaging and a true talent.
Robin has been favorably compared to Janis Joplin, Bonnie Raitt, Tina Turner and Cher for her powerful vocals, emotional deliveries and passionate performance style.
Having been involved with many musical projects and various types of original and cover bands over the years, Robin comfortably settled into her own music and in 2010, after working with Emmy Award Winning Producer/Arranger Lisa Ratner (Barbara Streisand) she released Wanna Fly. The CD received rave reviews and the song Shakey Ground was awarded a Lady Lake Indie Music Award in January 2012 for Best New Female Song.
In 2012, Robin performed at The Playboy Mansion in Los Angeles in The Steven Tyler Rock and Roll Show which led to her becoming the lead singer for Manny Charlton, co-founder of the 1970’s Scottish Rock Band, Nazareth. During her time with Charlton she co-wrote It Does Something, recorded the ten song CD Hellacious and headlined in places like Chihuahua, Mexico and Muscle Shoals, AL.
Currently, DeLorenzo is promoting and supporting her May 2014 release of her newest CD, Walkin’ Miles in My Shoes, which has twelve evocative, soulful, and emotional songs. She writes from what she knows and each song gives a glimpse into her life. The album was recorded at Steve Jankowski‘s (Blood, Sweat & Tears) Jankland Recording, Belmar, NJ with a team of world class musicians such as George Naha , Judy Palma, Andy Huenerberg, Sam Bryant and Rob Paparozzi. True to the Americana Genre, there is a wide variety of influence in Robin’s writing and this collection has something for just about everyone; add her very catchy melodies, listeners will walk away humming and wanting more.

yesterday i ventured briskly down into the studio and made for the acoustic perched wrecklessly against the electric as i picked up the guitar i looked to the sky for inspiriation ,well not so much the sky as the ceiling as i was indoors of course and did not have equipped as of yet , glass sun roof ...i then hit my first chord/strum ...couldnt tell you what chord it was as a)my left hand shape resembled my feeble attempt at grasping a jelly mould suspended by a slinky and b) the strum was ,well to put it midly , crap!! ...i could of been playing an e minor,,,i could also of been playing a sus g sharp flat major 5th with a flattened 9th bundled cabbage 8 maids are milking power chord ...i also could of been fitting ....either way it sounded like a cat being dragged through a mincing machine ...i subsequently re-wrecklessly placed the acoustic back against the electric ...shrugged my shoulders ,and sallied forth back up to the pc whence i did commence to sit and ponder my agonising dilema that basically ive more chance of sprouting a pair of gold plated wings from my shoulder blades and learning a new language in one day than becoming the next jimi hendrix ....with a swift click of the mouse i shutdown the pc and got into bed with lois from family guy ...and the rest is ,shall we say, none of your dam business :D
once upon a time there lived an egyptian pharoh named i-kan boo-gee whos job it was to clean the kings belly button ...apparently he was crap and eventually was exiled into the desert where he perished ...meanwhile the king now at a loss for the maintenance of his belly button noticed that over the days it began to accumulate stuff ...curious as to this occurence he summoned a slave ,one who was knowledgeable in these things , and questioned the waif as to why this was happening ..the waif ,terrified of revealing the truth about sed build up of collective in the kings bb suddenly came up with a great reply and thus saved himself from banishment and the kings wrath ...your most gracious highness this is a sign from the gods that you will accumulate wealth and riches beyond all belief ...the king smiled and rewarded the waif by not banishing him and also outfitting him with the latest footwear of papyrus nike river of jordans ..to which the waif was bowled over with an excitement as yet conceived by any mere mortal ...and thus became the myth of belly button fluff ...the moral of this story is quite simple ...dont sit at a computer for more than 3 hours twiddling your fingers trying to get a tune together only to realise 2 things ...1) writers block has set in and sod all is gonna get done ..and 2) your arse cheeks have gone so numb you wouldnt know if you crapped yourself cept for the god awfull smell and the filling of your socks with a liquidy substance resembling onion soup happy days folks oh happy days
