There's Something In The Shadows

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)

It has been 11 months since the first melodies I wrote after installing Daw. When I came across the file 11 months later, I wanted to finish it. and I'm done. Since it was the first, I didn't interfere much. because I was curious about your comments.

Turn The Cassette

"Heart of Gold" is a song by Canadian singer-songwriter Neil Young. From his fourth album Harvest, it is Young's only U.S. No. 1 single. In Canada, it reached No. 1 on the RPM national singles chart for the first time on April 8, 1972, on which date Young held the top spot on both the singles and albums charts. This is a cover of that song by Robert Brogan. Check out https://robertbroganmusic.com for more info about this artist! Thanks for listening!
