Going faster this time! I like songs that take you for a ride and last under four minutes.

I struggled with this one a bit. The backbone came very easily in less than an hour, but all the embellishments took a lot of time. Whew, I'm really glad this is done and out now. I sure did work at the upper limit of the system’s capabilities! This is like a symphony and I enjoy it very much. What next? (2018)

Independent Composer / Producer / Musician Charlie H Russell, a songwriter with a catalog of 300 plus songs, that cover Jingle Work, Cues, Swing, Big Band, Latin, Smooth Jazz, R&B, Blues, Hip Hop, Neo-Soul, Caribbean, Rock, Country and Classical,

I play Bass, Guitar and Keyboards and I compose and record about two songs a week, that I could customize for any opportunity or client.

"His infectious melodies and  inventive  arrangements makes his radio friendly  and  artistically intriguing smooth jazz feel so good and this will go alone ways towards establishing his sound." 

"There are moments of cool soulful grooves, with hip rides in jazz improvisation, and the ripping funk bass, Sax and Horn lines are both the hot and cool."

"His keyboard work will shock you, and his electrically charged guitar solos, Wow!"

Charlie H Russell, unsigned self-taught composer / musician  / arranger and producer, his recordings are intentionally melodic, giving you  this highly  enjoyable first look.

I love music and I'm on a never-ending journey of creating great melodies. I hate to categorize music and I am simply "Electronic" or whatever my genre really is. "Synthwave" maybe. If it sounds good it most likely is. If it doesn't, someone will like it anyway. I also think music should be fun.

All the music is made using KORGM01D. I'm mainly into heavy rock guitar music and influenced by many great guitarists of the 70s and 80s. Metalhead making synth music is nothing new, but I'm enjoying this.

It's hard to choose any personal favorites, but some of them are definitely "In for a Thrill", "Airport", "Catch 'em Running" and "Burning Past".

Oh, and please don't follow me or like my tracks if you're not going to listen to anything. I like keeping the stats real.
