Oh **** I've got sore fingers! How in hell am I going to make a roll-up with these? It's alright for you real guitarists but my fingers prefer the touch of ivory. Anyway suffice it to say that my old Mr Jackson was sitting there looking all blue and not too metallic under the coat of dust that had settled on him and making me feel guilty and how long is it since I did a real guitar song...? so I blew off the dust and polished him up a bit, and then he made me play this song I've called Walk Away. I'm not used to mixing guitar tunes. All the controls WAY up high on the multiband to let it all come through, so I ended up with a lot of lower reverb... ah who cares anyway...
Hope you like it. I did. And don't ask me how many takes to get the (rather easy) solo just right...
Happy new year, all!

I found a new site which offers many features (still learning to use the features there) and I re-design my official website to integrate the two project FANTASY JOURNEY and SOLARDREAMS. You can check it out at :-<br /><br />www.piperon.net.ms<br /><br />It is still under heavy construction and when I have all loaded up, I will post a blog here again. Meantime happy surfing.<br /><br />PS : PLEASE remember to sign my guestbook when you are there, million thanks in advance.<br /><br />With million of love from Singapore.<br />Piperon - One and Only spiritual flute player on Earth.
Iam an amateur digital composer. I usually work alone with my PC and other critical equipment. When I was young enough I used to play organ in small bands. Later I learned to use Personal Computers exclusively for my work (no relation with music). Day by day I loved computers. There was a period I was a computer maniac. Some day I combined the two hobbies (music - computers) in order to make my music. <br />I don't have professional tools , a good PC , two midi keyboards , a pair of KRK monitors , a really good headphone set , a microphone and a mixer are enough for me. Regarding the software I mainly use free stuff. There are some very good free software tools out there. Computer music magazine offers good stuff too. I also use commercial demos and very few commercial projects.<br />The singer in my songs is usually my daughter - an amateur too.
My favourite free stuff :<br />EMU Proteus VX , Independence Free , Nebula CM , some DSK vst instruments , Abakos 2 , Artemis , Cygnous , IXOX Flute, Evol , Free Amp etc

<div><span style="font-size: small; color: #0000ff;"><em><span style="color: #ff0000;"><strong>Music is thriving</strong> </span><br /></em></span><br />There's more amazing music being made today than ever before in human history. There's more diversity. There's more risk taking. There's more virtuosity. There's more people of all ages making more music in a day than all the people in the world were making combined 50 years ago. Anyone can record radio ready music on inexpensive home recording studios or their computer. Is it all great? Nope. Is it all the stuff you hear on radio or being mass produced by the labels? Hell no. Music is being made and performed in every city around the world in homes that surpasses the sliver of music that is mass marketed. It's there if you care to look for it. <br /><br />Music will never die. <br /><br />If all commerce was removed from the music world tomorrow, there'd still be millions of musicians making music anyway because guess what? They're already doing just that now. People who make music do it because they have no choice. It's impossible NOT to make and create music for real musicians and writers. If all the instruments and devices and tools disappeared from the face of the earth, people would still be humming songs, clapping their hands, banging rocks together and making music. Music is always with us as long as we're breathing. It's not going anywhere. It will NEVER die. Tell the scare mongers to bugger off. <br /><br />The next time you're making music, try doing it without a thought about record labels and radio stations and My Space friends and doomsayers who want us to fear the end. Instead, passionately rip into your soul and produce the art in your heart. Don't hold back. Don't try and please others. Don't be afraid you're not good enough or you're doing it the wrong way. Make your music without fear. Then, share it with others without fear. If you do, you'll realize how true all my points above are. If you do, you can join the global musical chorus. If you do, you can single handedly take back the music from those who make a living predicting its demise. If ALL of you do it, we can shut them up once and for all. <br /><br />But that's just my opinion. I could be right. <br /><br /><span style="color: #ff0000;"><span style="font-size: small;"><em>Learn, Succeed, Thrive. We're All In This Together!</em></span><br /></span><br /></div>

In the spirit of a FRESH NEW year, and the HOPE that's offered (we believe) by changes in the nation's capital, wanted to make sure we give you the information you need to share in (an even dozen) PODCAST adventures at <a href="http://rotcod.podomatic.com/">Dick's PODCAST</a>! <br /><br />The music ranges all the way from "out" to "totally accessible", & I think you're bound to find something that satisfies your ear... captures at least 3 (free) tracks from 12 Zzaj albums!<br /><br />& (before I forget), a most HAPPY and HOPEFUL 2009 to all here at MIX!
