Knobs & Things - part 2

Here it is; my new EP. It features seven tracks of varying moods and genres, so hopefully there is something for everyone. This EP is called 'Renovatio', which is Latin for renewal/ restoration/ total rebirth. The name celebrates the fresh start that my hard drive disaster gave me, and this EP feels like the next stage in my musical journey (wow that sounds cheesy...).

The EP is available now here - http://syntheticepiphany.bandcamp.com/album/renovatio

As ever, I hugely appreciate your support!

In his highly anticipated musical accolade, Nuage of St. Petersburg returns to Translation to deliver his long-awaited album, the 'Prints of You' LP, a musical masterpiece that etches his signature style into an ever-expanding range of styles within electronic music. Whilst retaining his characteristically majestic sound and encompassing a seductive, and textural vibe, Nuage delivers a stunning 15-track sonic narrative that covers the spectrum of Deep House, Garage, and Chillstep while creatively and simultaneously flexing his Drum & Bass roots, demonstrating his continued refinement as a musician. The 'Prints of You LP' is a celebrated collection of smooth and sublime tracks with beautiful vocal and harmonic piano interludes, and orchestral strings from artists across the globe featuring upbeat synth melodies, and melodic serenades with pitch-shifted vocal interplay. Spanning from 130 to 170 BPM and back, the 'Prints of You' is so dynamic in musical range that each track will leave your ear captivated, enchanted, and curious for what's next.

DJ support from Phaeleh, Blu Mar Ten, Om Unit, Ivy Lab, and DJ Flight

Just wanted to say that the sax and other brass isn't sampled. I used Jam Origin (Midi guitar plugin) to control a Kontakt saxophone patch.

A few people have messaged me asking where I get my samples, I just wanted to say here that I don't sample.
I either play the instrument myself or try and use the best emulator I can. I never sample other music to make my own.

I have occasionally built complex sampler instruments in ableton from a single instrument note but they always lack full expression and control.
Using my guitar as a midi instrument gives me a better feel for velocity as I'm not great on the keys, and a faster way to use vibrato: bending the string instead of reaching for a mod wheel.

The only time I use samples of any kind is from vocal sample packs (if it's not my voice), which I process, repitch, resample etc. until they're as unrecognisable as possible.

If anyone's interested I could maybe make a video about some techniques I use and the sound design process. For instance; making a normal acoustic guitar sound something resembling a sitar.

Cheers
