About Me The composer/Producer


By wolfgang, 2009-11-08

<p>Hello Everyone, My real name is William, but I am most known as&nbsp;Wolfgang- which was pinned to me many, many years ago- by fellow friends and musicians through my years as a composer and keyboardist. The name really refers to "Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart" because of my abilities as a keyboardist/ composer,as well as &nbsp;to create music on the spot.&nbsp;Also my technical abilities as a keyboardist- because of my classical training and background. I am formally trained as a classical pianist.I have studied at the Berkley college of music in Boston,I have been playing the piano/keyboards since the age of 3. I come from a long generation&nbsp;of piano players on my fathers side of the family,My father taught me on his lap, his father taught him,my great grand mother played the piano for silent movies in the 1920's-etc...and so on. I was fortunate enough to have my father raise me in the 1970's,&nbsp;because he was heavily involved with rock bands, and they always got together at our house to practice when I was a child.The musicians left there instruments at our house&nbsp;:) and I tingled with all of them - from the drums to the guitars to the sax etc... my primary instrument of course is the keyboard.My father had&nbsp; an acoustic piano, a fender Rhodes electric piano, and a Hammond B3 organ with rotary speakers. I practiced on all of these during my childhood. and I wish I still had these instruments to this day lol- but as I was growing up in the 80's-I discovered&nbsp;synthesizers- and I was Hooked!- I got me a job and worked my butt off to buy the latest synths at that time. I ended up with over a dozen synthesizers and a sampler by 1994. and built my first analog recording studio in my home, when DAT recorders were out in the early 90's- I was the first one to buy it lol. But there came a time in my life when I was out of the music scene for a very long time. I was not involved with the advancing technology&nbsp; of computers, because I could not afford one at that time. I purchased my first PC in 2004.&nbsp; I did not know of any software for music programs at that time because it was all new to me. My PC actually broke after having it for about 6 months, and I did not have the cash to fix it or replace it because I was raising a family and it didn't fit my budget at the time. it took another 3 years until I bought a new pc in 2006, and discovered new musical software on the internet that made my 1990's setup obsolete. but I still needed to learn how use that software because it was all new to me. I consider 2007 as my rebirth period as a&nbsp;modern musician!.&nbsp;I am now, at the point in my life, that I am very&nbsp;comfortable to&nbsp;produce any music that I hear in my head, and record it&nbsp;the way I want with ease. I have actually begun purchasing&nbsp;old anolog and digital synthesizers from the eighties and 90's again, to rebuild my current studio into the one I wanted from my youth , only 1000x better. You will hear vintage syths from that time period on all my tracks.&nbsp;</p>

Most Disappointing Freshman???

Most Disappointing Freshman???

<p>Mickey Factz, Cory Gunz, Wale, Charles Hamilton, Asher Roth, Ace Hood, Curren$y, Kid Cudi, Blu or B.o.B.?? I believe only Wale, Roth, Ace Hood, and Kid Cudi have ACTUAL albums out.&nbsp; But who would you say was the most disappointing in your opinion?&nbsp; I would definitely have to go with Kid Cudi.&nbsp; He is a home-town native, and he hasn't created the type of buzz as he was expected to.&nbsp; Maybe I'm too far over my head with expactations, but when you have Kanye and people of that stature around you, it shouldn't be a problem with producing a hit album.&nbsp; I feel he failed to capture the people with Man On The Moon.&nbsp; Now as much as it had great topics, a very creative vibe to it, it lacked in production.&nbsp; How would you not use your resources?&nbsp; How could you be so stubborn, that you believe you'll go out first try and make a classic with little to no help from Kanye on the 'production' side.&nbsp; Kanye exec.'d the album, but he little input on the board, where was supposed to be.&nbsp; Kid Cudi's 2nd album better be worth it, otherwise I'll write him off as another 'MC' from Cleveland, that failed to captivate the 'masses'.</p>

Restless Mind

Restless Mind

<p>Restless Mind<br />&nbsp;<br />Farrell Jackson - vocals - guitars - instruments<br />Buddrumming - drums - percussion<br />&nbsp;<br />&ldquo;Restless Mind&rdquo; written by Farrell Jackson<br />&nbsp;Produced, engineered and mixed by: Farrell Jackson <br />Jaxonville Studio 2009 (California, U.S.A.)</p><p>Bud created the awesome ad picture!</p><p>Buddrumming and I&nbsp;have been wanting to collab on a song for a while now. I happened to have an unfinished mellow&nbsp;acoustic song called restless Mind&nbsp;that needed some drums&nbsp;or percussions. I asked Bud if he could do anything with this song in the drummimg area and what he came back with was excellent! He even threw in some percussions as icing on the cake. Thanks Bud!</p><p>About the lyric: It's about those sleepless nights when one's mind just will not shut down.....those Restless Mind nights....we've all&nbsp;had them...so&nbsp;I wrote about it.</p><p>Farrell and Bud</p><p>&nbsp;</p>

He has been featured on Mike K's Saturday Night Rocks and did a fantastic <a href="http://www.mixposure.com/index.php?t=mixposure_song_player&amp;band_id=2230&amp;song_id=8662">Center Stage Presentation</a>. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: small;">Gary and I had talked recently and I felt as though the music industry was possibly getting the better of him. An artist like this does not come around every day. This is the kind of talent that many of us dream of having. I just could not imagine how those of us who know his music would feel if an artist of this caliber felt defeated.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: small;">Gary keep your head up my friend. As they say, you have to put up with the rain in order to see the rainbow. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: small;">Gary is on the SoftWind Label and you can buy his CD's <a href="http://www.softwindproductions.com/Gary_Burris.html">here</a>.<br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: small;">Dazed</span></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p>
