I used to DJ in some clubs back in the late nineties. I used to mix Techno, but what I really used to enjoy was producing some track on PC using some old school tracking software such Impulse Tracker, Fast Tracker etc, and mix them with some famous tracks. I used to carry a Pentium midtower and a CRT monitor for my gigs... latter added a Roland MC303, a DR 550 and a SP202. My taste was taking the direction of the Trance/Psy, but it was not well accepted in the clubs, and I never got good connections to outdoor parties, only some smaller and restricted ones.
My taste was always influenced by many different styles, I used to socialize with all kinds of people and get involved in all kinds of social things such as sports, events etc.
Then I got engaged in a relationship... and you know... women... they don't like when you start going to many parties and getting attention from other women (lol)... work... social patterns... and there we go, stopped doing what I liked to do what others want me to do! Got away from the music for a dozen years.
Last year, after getting back to single life and getting behind the mixing deck at a small party, I got that feeling back... music is in me
Today technology is much more advanced then 10 years ago, more choice on tools, more resources, and accessible prices. I'm an IT Engineer, so technology is not a problem for me, just needed to get into the music branch of technology, update some old knowledge... but... wow... many things have evolved so much from the old wav samplers, trackers, midi sequencer from the late nineties... now we have VSTs, hosts, controllers and tools for everything...
Got my hand on Ableton Live and bunch of VSTs and started messing and playing with it to understand its "mechanics" and see what comes out of it. I don't usually read tutorials or guides, I just play with it to learn my own way... that's why sometimes I don't understand some technical terms or details, and there's things I know how to do but I don't know how it's called. Weirdo... lol
By the end of last year I was off work for a couple weeks, got the software, started playing with it to learn... and after 6 weeks around Ableton Live clips and arranger platform, starting almost from 0 knowledge with tools and techniques, got this track and a few more finished or not so finished (lol)... Then I stopped for a while... Time to get organized!
Not very organized yet in terms of tools and techniques, I'm trying now to get my studio to the point that I want, then get to the next level and produce something more seriously...
I'm more into the Fullon/melodic style... and I'm trying to put a little of other music tastes in my tracks, not only because I appreciate and get inspiration from other styles, but this way I can attract people that are completely away from the "spiritual experience" of the Psy scene and get them giving themselves the opportunity to listen more brainy and mind expanding music and sounds with Psytrance with it sounding more familiar to them at some level. Maybe they will realize then that they have been listening what the mainstream feeds them with, and not what they like... I helped many people realizing it already!
There's a long road ahead, and I'm full of ideas, inspiration and "spirituality" to go further... still, lot of work!
All tips, comments, ideas and critics to my work will always be strongly appreciated.
