I was just playing with iM1 (Darwin) in Korg Gadget and this track emerged, this is JUST iM1 sounds, nothing else. I use some sounds that I might not otherwise use in this, but it was fun to put together, I hope you like it.

Workin' Hard

A tribute to Keith Emerson - a version of the Last Post done in the style of Fanfare for the Common Man. I hope you like it.

The Last Post

Unknown Arrival

I consciously tried to use some of the gadgets in Korg Gadget that I hadn't used before and maybe in a slightly different style. I think this turned out to have a sort of Jean-Michel Jarre vibe to it. The wobbly bits that you can hear as part of the first theme are caused by adjusting the delay time as it was playing, I liked the effect so it stayed!

Disconnected Deal

I thought of this riff and it was only when I came to put it down I realised it was in 13/8 - so it had to be a prog track, right?! 

All done (perhaps surprisingly to some) in Korg Gadget on my iPad Pro. Thanks for the listen!

Elusive 13

A cover of Manfred Mann's Earth Band's wonderful track Martha's Madman, I hope I have done it justice - this was just an exercise as I don't do many covers (and I don't sing much on recordings either!).

Let me know what you think - it's been a while since I posted a track so I must try to do more this year.

Martha's Madman

An entry into the Five Gadgets Challenge on the Audiobus Forum. The challenge is to limit yourself to five specific Gadgets, and this contains one London (drums), two Marseille (electric piano and sax) and two Dublins (bass and synth). I went for a jazzy feel rather than the standard EDM that people expect from Gadget - I hope you like it.

Distinct Generation

I have made a number of my own sounds in Quanta using my own samples, so I thought I would throw a quick track together to use them. All of the sounds in this I made myself. I hope you enjoy it.

Quanta Demo Track

I haven't even opened Garage Band on my iPad for months, but with a new version released for IOS12 I thought I'd take another look, although I haven't actually upgraded yet. I found a riff on a virtual guitar, and a couple of hours later I had this, which I quite like even though it is pretty straight forward - and I hope you do too!

Phil Wilkes's Album
