Is That It?
Well, no, one day, I hope to break free from the bonds of having a day job and spend my time
floating round the med,
knocking up the occasional track for a cool label. Till then, this is my only outlet for
my compositions.
If you like Progressive tracks with nice breaks, you might like to listen you my latest, finished creation...well,
actually, its my only
*finished* creation, Celestial.
Download the MP3, Or stream
it.
The excellent vocals (in case you're wondering) were taken
from a track by Loreena
McKennitt called 'The Mystics Dream'.
One of the problems I have is actually finishing a track... No stamina y'see ;) I've got round this (sorta) by
stuffing all my unfinished
tracks into
Acid and creating one long mix. Whilst unfinished, they also represent the best stuff I've produced to
date...without sounding
self-congratulatory, its easily as
good as any of the other mixes...but just pure, homegrown Roguetrooper. Enjoy...(and play loud) Clicky Streamy Clicky downloady
The track I'm working on at the moment is a bit of a departure
for me. Normally I don't like long intros, but the beginning
to Gravity developed into this dark, broody soundscape. Its
a full 4 mins till any proper percussion kicks in which sounds
a long time, but its just right for the track (currently running
at 12 mins). Anyway, you can Stream the MP3 hopefully...
or download it(11Mb)
Heres what happens when you use Acid Pro as an mp3 sequencer..nearly an hour of beats n breaks.
Have a listen to Methodical or download it.
Want some more? heres another with Leftfield and
Hybrid (to mention a few). You
can download this too if you like.
Think I'm going to have to find a more permanent home for the mixes and stuff. judging by the amount of stuff I'm
churning out of the
Triton... Anyway, heres the Adam Freeland stuff mix from below on the blog...nice trancy, break filled mix that
hardens
somewhat towards the end when Joujouka arrive..However, its still only 135BPM and doesn't disrupt the flow too
much... Same as usual, you
can stream it or
download it...beware though, its
20Mb. Sounds best about
4am Sunday morning. Enjoy.
I was looking through my mp3 collection the other day and came across some depeche mode stuff I never realised I
had. Perfect excuse to
mix a few tracks up in acid and give the Basildon boys a breakbeat flavour. Its still a work in progress at the mo,
but I've since discovered
that DM and Breaks were made for each other. Have a listen and you'll hear what I mean. Download or Stream

I don't know what it is about Korg and Roland, but they seem to be totally incapable of incorporating the facility to calculate a samples BPM accurately. The Triton merely asks you to pluck it out of thin air while the MC-909 relies on the tempo you tap on the tempo tap button while playing the loop and tapping in a tempo like fashion.
Is it so difficult to extract the time period from the number of samples between the loop start / end markers and combine it with an input stating the number of bars the time period covers?....
Like any other self respecting website, we've reached a point now where the OAPs think its about time we had our own stuff. I thought I'd be a doddle, but its clear to me now why advertising slogan people earn a fortune. Coming up with a slogan that doesn't stink like a pair of camenbert underpants on a hot day is really hard.
However, I did come up with one that even managed to make Wendy smile when I woke her up at 4am to tell her. So, idea in hand, I trudged over to cafepress from whence came such great aparrel as the pre-MTV Weebl t-shirt and Alex's b3ta furtive bear t-shirt, picked some clobber, uploaded some images, mumbled to myself about how easy it all was and some 20 minutes later, We have a market leading gift supply service with a global network of 'stuff'...
well, actually, we've only got a Kids T-Shirt... but I can tell you're impressed... Isn't that your visa card you're reaching for?
My mum is a complete loony... Heres a great example of why.
Everyone knows that Saturday was Valentines day, and whilst me and Wendy don't subscribe to the gift industry revenue generation scheme, millions of people across the world see this as the most romantic day of the year. A day to declare love for one and other, a day to pamper each other and spend the day cooing and gazing at each other...you get the drift.
Anyway, my mum comes round on Saturday morning to see Alex as she hasn't seen him for like, a week.... Like some 'few sandwiches short of a picnic' love fairy, she waltzes into the kitchen and says "Its valentines day and I've bought a present for you both on this wonderful day of lurve!"
"Great" I thought... "shes a bit odd, but all heart my mum.... I wonder what delightful lovely valentines day present it could be... chocolates? wine?..."
