Medusa is my new creation this music utilizes soft piano, synthesizer, drum loops, percussion, and traditional bass and drums.
This is not a new approach but rather a return to my creative origins, with a more predominate chillout and electronic vibe instead of a more classic dance house style.
I’ve taken the liberty to inspire myself on artists like AIR and Massive Attack maintaining an originality and signature that relates to my oldest creations. This music is not meant to catch your attention but only to set a mood, if possible to take you on a journey of thoughts and feelings.
I’m back with two new productions, “Electronics” and “For the Love of God”. These two tracks although sharing some similar construction methods are very different from each other, one being a more standard chillout jazzy music while the other is a darker, emotional and alternative.
“Electronics” relies on a more comfortable sound with happy soft tunes, there’s also a jazz vibe that nestles the music and really gives it a strong personality. The most important instruments in this production are obviously the piano and saxophone that are for most part the primary sounds of this track. Nevertheless there are two others that also stand out. The first is an off tone synth sample that persists throughout most of the track and is used to disrupt the clean vibe of the track. The other is a two voice samples that give this music a very unique and unconventional groove.
In summary this track although simple is full of small details that must be discovered in order to appreciate the music to its fullest.
“For the Love of God” is a darker and more emotional track that relies heavily on atmospheric and alternative sounds. There is some Trip-Hop and Drum and Bass influences winch give this track a distinct vibe, especially the Bass and Beat that really define the music personality.
One instrument however stands out from the rest of the track winch is used as a lead sound halfway into the music in order to break the monotone vibe and give it a twist. This instrument is the flute, a very simple melody that has a big impact and really changes the music groove.
Similarly to “Electronics”, “For the Love of God” is also full of small details that must be discovered in order to appreciate the music to its fullest.
“small sense”, is until now the most ambitious music I have produced so far. I really can’t categorize this peace and that is mainly due to the fact that it was produced without any compromise.
Again you can see the Massive Attack influences, mainly on the dark and sad vibe that is sense throughout the entire music. The music begins with a Blade Runner synth type of sound, winch gives a kind of eighties vibe immediately followed by a very immersive bass line reminiscent of the music “Angel” from the 1998 Massive Attack acclaimed album, “Mezzanine”. The beat is very simple but that exist only in this music to give the slow tempo that was initially desire for this production.
A second synth is used, and again that futuristic cyber punk feeling is present giving this music a unique personality. Throughout the music several FX are used in order to give a more dynamic structure to the music, one of those effects is a police radio communication that with the help of a delay and distortion effect gives the music an original touch.
Trip hop, electronica or even downtempo labels may be used to define the music genre and I accept them all. But in the end the final product was achieve without rules or boundaries winch resulted in “small sense”. Hope You enjoy.
“Benevolence” is a mix of Trip Hop and Jazz that combined makes a very powerful and unexpected result.
When I was making this music I really didn’t have something particular in mind and I just allowed myself to go with the flow. The only thing I was certain was that this music would have a more chill out approach. I started with the beat winch I’ve got my inspiration on artists like Massive Attack, Portishead or even Thievery Corporation. Then came the Bass selection, also a very important peace in this music, nothing fancy just a simple bass with some echo and delay effects that unexpectedly made a perfect match with the beat and gave the impression that they were meant to play together all the time. The third and I believe the most important peace on this music is the trumpet riff, used in this music to give that jazz vibe, tuned with some distortion and delay effects to give a jazzier club sound.
This chill out music is, of all the productions I have made so far, one of my favorites and one that I’m really proud.
