Angels-Of-Gold

New Lyrics Tick Tock Song

As I come up with new stuff, you will always be able to hear it here. Given the difficulty in migrating my projects from one studio to the other, it has taken some time getting everything in place. I still do not have everything as I would want it. But when creativity hits, I have to stop what I’m doing and make it happen musically. Hope you enjoy the new lyrics. Where this one is going, I don’t know. But it is sure to be interesting just the same.

Dancing-In-The-Light

Thinking of making a Dance Version of ‘In The Light’

Hey guys,

I thought to post this old recording I had of ‘In The Light’. While making this recording, I was teaching myself how to slice vocals in the editor I use. I put together a faster paced dance beat to test the lyrics for a possible ‘dance version’. I came upon it this morning as I was cleaning out some files. And here it is. Maybe I should back-track and work on this new mix. What do you think?

Fun With Background Vocals

Sometimes I find myself humming to a tune. And background vocals are so fun to play around with. While making my usual pot of coffee the other morning, I caught myself humming the background vocals you will hear in the following clip. I thought they sounded good. So, here I go to the studio to record.

I added some filters and a bit of the convolver effect to produce what you hear. I also found a very awesome Tesla styled effect to add to the recording. These edits come in parts as I share with you the birth of a new song. This one happens to be The King And Queen Of Green Cove Springs. Read more »

After a visit to the Spring Park in Green Cove Springs, we decided to walk down to St Mary’s Episcopal Church, situated along the St John’s River. The church itself was built in 1879 and is a beautiful representation of the Gothic Architectural Style of the time. Read more »

King-And-Queen

King And Queen Of Green Cove Springs

Meaning: The King represents ‘Father Time’. The Queen represents ‘Mother Earth’. Together they float effortlessly through the springs and into our world. The reference to the ‘frown’ is indication of tears of joy. This is the kind of song one writes while sipping ‘left-over’ champagne from New Years. Yummy!~ (wink) Read more »

Angels of Gold – The Tick Tock Song

Every song I write has to come from something important to me. Of course, I could write songs about anything I choose. Problem is, those songs do not seem as magical as others. As for the ‘Tick Tock’ song, I think I’m onto something; maybe another hit. Read more »

The Continuum – Dicapac Underwater Video

The Continuum was fun to make and provided a different perspective after seeing all the underwater footage. What’s great is the Dicapac underwater camera bag became a new set of eyes of which I used to see an underwater world located in Ichetucknee Springs State Park. Read more »

I’m sure many artists know how easy it is to listen to the negatives of others around you. I mean, ‘who are you to dream of becoming a music star’? I have a bit of advice for anyone who has dreams of stardom – ‘DON’T LISTEN TO THEM’. Moving Down The Line is a country-style song I wrote with dreams in mind. Read more »

The Ethics of Sound Manipulation

Some in the music business are purists. They would prefer all music be true to sound. In other words, the sounds and tools used should be created by the artist in her/his studio. With the advent of newer technologies allowing for a broader treatment of music, the sky is just the beginning for artists. Read more »
