Happy Together Blues

I wrote this in 2004.  I forgot about it, and quite by accident found it lurking in a box of paperwork just the other day.  I've had a few nice finds like that recently.  This one was a nice find, and turned out to be remarkably relevant with consideration to feelings I'm locked into at this present time, because of which I thought I'd record it.  I did change a couple of lyrics, to better link it to me as I am now, and make it a little better, but otherwise, it's how it was some 18 years ago.

Requiem

I believe just about every musician has had the exciting experience in which they rediscover music recordings they did from way back in their past... music that was practically forgotten about.
So, it was a pleasant surprise for me to rediscover some pretty cool fusion style music I had produced over a quarter century ago. This old music marks the time I first got introduced to midi sequencing.
For those that want to know more, here's a few interesting details as to how this music came to be.
Just for context... at the time (1995), I knew absolutely nothing about computers. The world of personal computers, including pc based DAW, was still waiting for me to discover a couple years later on.
So... besides my electric guitar, the only other musical "instrument" I had at my disposal to produce most of my home-studio "desktop" music at the time was my one and only keyboard, a Korg T-3 "workstation". 
This exciting, and recently introduced keyboard offered plenty of great synth sounds, but also had built-in midi sequencing abilities. This feature interested me very much realizing the great potential it offered coming from a composer's viewpoint.
Working on and constructing full length multi-instrumented compositions and productions using the Korg T-3's built-in sequencer was not easy. A tiny screen and just a few push buttons to access all the editing functions made for a highly tedious experience compared to using the standard everyday DAW systems most musicians are accustomed to these days. What was even more crazy was I had just gotten rid of my old multi-track Tascam cassette recorder, as I was pretty fed up with all the technical problems associated with the old tape machine technology. So I was determined to do any future music productions using digital recording. In my case, after completion of my work of sequencing for multiple instrumentation for any particular tune, I was faced with the challenge of playing and recording my guitar work straight through the entire piece without any overdubbing or editing, as I was recording directly onto a 2-track (stereo) DAT. Everything had to be pre-mixed as perfectly possible as it all would go directly onto a stereo recording. That means all T-3 derived sounds, such as drums, percussion, bass, keyboards, etc., had to first be mixed within the Korg T-3's own built-in mixer. Then my guitar had to be mixed and recorded in one pass, together with the T-3's mixed stereo output, going through a small audio mixer feeding the final mix to the stereo DAT machine.
Challenging and time consuming for sure... but some will understand... creative energy and inspiration has a way of overcoming these kind of obstacles, which is exactly what happened to me. Within two years I managed to finish off about a half dozen decent tracks in this manner, in which afterwards I finally realized I really needed a update to a full sized computer based audio work station in order to continue and advance in my creative endeavors.
That said... it was the lessons I learned from these first days of sequencing on my old Korg T-3, that helped me a whole bunch as I advanced into today's standard DAW technology.
I hope everyone gets a chance to enjoy some of this music that belongs to this special group of tracks... an "album" so to speak... which I titled "Fusion Quest".

RED LINE (Audric Jankauskas-1995)

Book One - Prelude 5, D Major ~ Johann Sebastian Bach

Souls are hungry for a different future. Souls need a substance that no one has yet explored. Souls need sentences that no one has said yet.

I would like to thank Fiona Greasley (aka Electrometis). Her song in collaboration with Brian Butt's "Raindrops" made me compose this...

Now one or the other may say or ask: "Huh, what do these two songs have in common?" Maybe not much, possibly. But it still inspired me, that's all 😆

WELCOME ALL to my SoundCloud page!

It's always a pleasure to discover through SoundCloud the wealth of wonderfully talented and creative musicians out in the world... all sharing their own distinct and artistic creations.  I'm very happy to be a part of this amazing, creative, and supportive community.

My main instrument is the guitar (mainly electric... sometimes acoustic). I also play on occasion bass and keyboards (strictly for recording on my own compositions).  Most of my music tracks on SC are created, recorded, and produced in my home studio.  Recently, I've been making good use of midi sequencing to ultimately produce tracks that I otherwise would find almost impossible to do by other means. 

Fusion (my mix of jazz, rock, funk, soundtrack, etc.) is the best way to describe most of the music that I produce these days.  I've enjoyed playing and recording many styles/genres of music in the past, and all these past musical experiences influence me today in the way I compose and play.

You will find here on my SC page samplings of new and older works of mine.  The track picture icons more or less help identify what tracks belong to other associated tracks. And I will try to present some extra information for the individual tracks for those that are interested as well.

Thanks for reading... and I hope you enjoy listening!
