Barbados Steel Drums

Shame and Scandle

Steel Drums Of Trinidad

Mongoose

These tracks were edited using the CVP705 and demonstrate the audio capability of the excellent keyboard. I am hoping that Yamaha will address the major weakness of having very limited free available memory after which I would give the keyboard 10/10. 

Van Morrison - Moondance

Dave Brubeck - Take Five

Stan Getz - Desafinado

Remixed Midi's on the Yamaha Clavinova CVP705. I do not play them but produce the audio remixes using this great keyboard !

Stan Getz - Corcavado

Gary Trotman (steelasophical) for Sidmouth Carnival Night - Blackman Party

Very happy with this original track based on a beat by LJandpad. Have used Ableton to my fullest extent so far and have included words in English, Chinese, Hindi, Spanish, Russian, German and Italian in that order. Please pass on to your friends who speak those languages. Having used a number of translators and text to speech functions, I expect that the results will be very funny, but also my first international hit!

Tony Renis - Quando Quando Quando

Hi all, so from 2016 to 2024 I assembled and produced a large collection of covers of many of my favorite tunes as my own hobby (and many during COVID lock-downs!) and I have accumulated over 2,900,000 plays across the world which is awesome!

I am much more of a producer that a musician. These first 8 years of my music was mostly based on midi cover tracks often downloaded from the Internet but heavily reproduced and re-imagined variously on my two Yamaha keyboards (Clavinova and PSR 975), but also using PC midi editing & DAW software.

Towards the end of that period, I added some of my more original electronic music which I produced over the past two decades under the name of Funkleberry in order to consolidate my Soundcloud accounts. 

But in 2024 I got into AI music generation and I am now  a freelance songwriter and AI music producer. It's been a fun journey!
