The Android Trap presents an original cinematic / soundtrack style composition as a follow-up to "March of the Cyberpunks". The Vanguard blends electronic/synths sounds and classical influences in a track that could befit a futuristic video game soundtrack or as a TV / Film theme.

The Android Trap is working on fantasy futuristic style electronic music with EDM, rock/pop and classical overtones. The influence is robots / drones / A.I. and cyberspace fantasy.

The pure pop icon that is #KylieMinogue had a global hit with this EDM Style dance track. As much as I detested it on release (not a KM fan) I have come to realise it is pure pop genius. It's hard to ignore that infectious hook, simple loop structure & it is well produced. The title fits perfectly. Of course having Kylie do the track with that provocative video... well it just could not fail.

Thoughts: So I though I'd try something a little more modern, for me at least. As a rocker, this is not in my comfort zone but I enjoyed making the track using mainly EDM sounds. Plus, I wanted a way to try out my new NI A49 keyboard. I pretty much tried to recreate the track as the hit to learn more about midi electronic music production. Yep I learned a lot and I can already see where I need to re-work and the potential of virtual instruments. The vocal stem is courtesy of Karaoke Version, which is not far off Kylie's version I think.

Tech: Native Instruments A49 + Audio 6 interface, Ableton Live 9.7 DAW, Tele Guitar, Guitar Rig 5 FX, AKAI APC key25, Kontact Instrument Library / Synths (e.g Massive / FM8 / String Assemble).

Can't Get You Out Of My Head

A flash-bang-wallop version of Tchaikovsky's Sugar Plum Fairy featuring the 'Trash Can Drum Kit', (percussion recorded from the street).

OK, The Sugar Plum rebelled ... she put on some DM boots, ditched her too-good-to-be-true persona and stomped around the trash cans, junk yards and street furniture making a heavy racket!

So this experimental track is based around Tchaikovsky's Sugar Plum Fairy theme. It started life as a series of street sounds recorded on my Zoom H1 digital recorder and processed in Audacity to make the Trash Can Drum Kit! 

So listen out for the "bass kick" from the trash bin and the crunched autumn leaves for the snare/clap and then keys rattling, bus stop poles, a coat zipper, wire fence scrapes, bin clanks, beach pebbles and door slams! Then all overdubbed with FXs and a heavy brass/string performance of the iconic "Sugar Plum" dance theme.... this is a demo only! LIKE IT? ... then hit the heart icon.

Digitally recorded & mixed in The Hutch Jan' 2019 using Ableton Live 9.7, Native Instruments, A49 keys, Audio 6 I/O and stock VST instruments. Played and arranged by D.Cook. :-)

This is my EDM-ish take on the classic Queen stadium rocker "We Will Rock You". There are quite a few Freddie Mercury vocal stems around... so I included his real vocal on here. What a voice!

*** Please LIKE or COMMENT - FOLLOW ME ! ***
I am a big fan of the early Queen stuff from the 70's after discovering them on "The Old Grey Whistle Test (BBC TV) before they were famous. Such awesome musicians and performers. And how can you not like the simple beat and rhythmic lyrics of this party song. Hail Freddie, Hail Queen! And because of that beat it lends itself to many interpretations. 

Recorded as a demo in The Hutch. Demo only, not for sale.

A Hutch Remix / Cover c2019. This song by Vina Rose uses her vocal stem for a re-write/remix competition offered by MetaPop & Native Instruments. The first prize would be nice but it was more a learning exercise for me.
+++++ #metapop #nativeinstruments +++++
"Breathe Again" is the uplifting and instantly catchy single for the summer from Vina Rose, whose sound is described as Sia meets Katranada. 

So, yes, I am out of my comfort zone again to learn more about EDM Pop music production. This was harder than I anticipated as I only took the original Vina Rose & Backing vocal tracks, some FX but pretty much re-recorded all the musical parts from scratch including my own string outtro section.

As much as I enjoyed this track, having 20 single tracks and trying to mix / master to a final copy was a labour and frustrating to get the clarity and dynamics right of a Pro'. I admit after a few tries this is the best I could do. But overall I am more than happy with the results and Vina's vocal was awesome to work with. #vinarose #breathagain #metapop

WELCOME - SO GLAD YOU CAME.
This is my muso' home, a sanctuary, a creative cauldron of musical ideas, covers, new stuff, original and maybe sometimes off-centre. Even a few surprises as I go where my changing musical interest goes. I am a hobby producer and musician. Those 12 notes are still fascinating me.

If nothing else, this is first and foremost, for my own greater good, to ease a wary soul, shield me from the slings and arrows of modern life. So, keeping me from insanity in a broken world.

Enough rambling, I'll let the chords and the melodies do my talking.
