Project 52 - Week 4 - 'Solar Wind'

Hi blog reader,

This is the track for Week 4 from Project 52. This instrumental was made with Reason and Logic Pro. The guitars at the end of the track are BAD! I apologise for those, I'm realising how little I play the guitar now and when it comes to putting some tracks down to beef up an instrumental I'm struggling to play want I want. Hopefully throughout the project I'll get back into my guitar more and make some nice guitar based songs again.

Enjoy!

Project 52 - Weekly New Music - Week 3

Yes!

I still haven't managed to abandon my weekly music project and now it's Week 3! This is the most complete song I've posted so far. It's made in Reason and Logic and is the result of some drunk organ and guitar playing. I have no idea what the lyrics are about, they sort of popped into my head and fit the song.

Over and out,

New project - A Song A Week For 2012

Dear The Internet,

Since I was rather slack last year in the musical output department I've decided to start as I mean to go on this year with a project that will hopefully produce one new piece of music every week throught 2012, at least until the world ends or I run out of ideas or just give up or die unexpectedly. I have chosen the fairly boring name of 'Project 52'(for now at least). I haven't imposed any specific rules on myself, other than to release one piece of previously unreleased music every week on my Bandcamp page. It could be an instrumental piece, a complete new song, a finished old song, some soundtrack bits and pieces or whatever beeps and obscure sounds I can combine together to call 'music'. I might record it live, I might make it on my iphone, I might collaborate with other human beings or just work on my computer, but I will endeavor to release one new piece of music every week in some form. In many ways I hope the finished project might appear as a sort of audio journal of my year, who knows.





The first instrumental is unimaginatively titled 'New Years Day'. It wasn't written on new years day, I was in bed hungover until about 5pm and then I was not in bed, but still hungover. It's a fairly simple instrumental made in Logic Audio with some Kontakt 2 piano libraries and a Garritan Organ from Personal Orchestra. I kind of got sucked into the chord progression and just started messing about with a simple arrangement. It's nothing epic, but it's a start and my programming in Logic is a bit rusty at the moment.

I hope someone somewhere enjoys some of this music (even if it's just me). Click THIS LINK to get transported to the Project 52 page

Over and out!
