No More Lies

The ‘Starter For’ series are experiments in music for stuff like event openings/beginnings. The ‘Lift Music’ Series are usually palindromic and can be played forwards or backwards – up or down. The Back # Ground series are experiments in ambient music- as in ‘background music’. The AmbiFoS and FdE Series are experiments and interpretations based on the 24 variations of Les Folies d‘Espagne by Marin Marais. Installation Music is what is says it is – typically for an art installation which often increase in intensity as you passage through. #RNDOriginal #rednemesisdog :- ‘Original’ musical evolutions and experiments using a Polyend Tracker and/or Polyend Mini. With samples from: #teenageengineering #polyend #ep1320 #polyendtracker #akaimpkmini #stylophone #hawaiiangosling #polyendmini

Tracks from the for-fun would be underground Inkopolis band, Bering C. Remixes from a few old Nintedo games, and even an original thrown in there for good measure.

Tangledeep OST: Dungeon Theme 2 (SNES)

ロックマン8よりオープニングステージです。
以前作ったものを今の環境で打ち直しただけのものになります。
ただ、改めて原曲聞いてみると細かいところが結構違ってたので、そこらへん修正かけてます。
それなりに原曲に近い音にしてみました。
メインは全然違うけどね！
バックのエレピが結構いい味だしてて気持ちいです＾ｑ＾

This beat tape from me Youtube searching myself "BKNAPP". I found that my last beat tape was featured on a well known trap Channel. My Beats were getting tens and thousands of views. I was pretty stoked at first because that brings traffic to my bandcamp and soundcloud. But the more I listened to those beats and went and looked what else was on that Trap Youtube channel I quickly realized how much of a fucking gimmick my beats have been lately. Quickly thrown together popular video game samples with Logic Pro's stock trap drum kit on top of it. 21 year old me would have fucking hated those beats. So uninspired. I grew up listening to complex beats and perfectly crafted beats from guys like Premier and dilla and here I was throwing together gimmick beats for a few extra plays. It was time to get back to training and learn how to do new things with my beats. 

So with this project I went back to challenging myself. I have layers of samples with nothing to do with each other. I had to figure out how to get them all to work together and make sense musically. My drums are in tune with the samples and I went back to my boom bap influences with them. 

This is my favorite project I have done. No gimmicks, no bullshit, just a bunch of floating ideas from my head put onto gritty drum beats. Hope the probable 10 people that read this like it. Putting this out on my 25th birthday too. That means I've been doing this for 5 years now. Besides teaching, it is my favorite thing to do. 

Also thanks to DJ Cutman for giving me some advice on mixing and mastering as that has always been something I struggle with. I'm improving for sure, but still have a ways to go.

Andrew Aversa (a.k.a. zircon) is an award-winning, covert-ops audio specialist with headquarters located on the outskirts of Baltimore, MD. His top-secret blend of cutting-edge electronic-organic sound design, sonorous composition, and ultra-polished production values have yielded dozens of credits in the realm of video games (Monkey Island 2: Special Edition, Super Street Fighter II Turbo HD Remix, Soulcalibur V), TV (Heroes, Skins, MTV, Touch), film, advertising and other media. As the recording artist zircon, he has written, produced, engineered and collaborated on over 15 albums.

The continuously-expanding array of zircon albums and EPs has met with both critical and popular acclaim – Impulse Prime achieved a dual victory at the 2006 Just Plain Folks Music Awards, winning “Best Techno Album” and the single “Tomorrow” winning “Best Techno Song”. This victory was repeated at the subsequent 2009 JPF Awards, with Antigravity’s “Depth Charge” taking “Best Techno Song” again, as well as the #1 spot of “Best Techno Song of All Time” at Garageband.com.

A lifelong fan of music, film scores and video games, Andrew’s background in music began in classical piano but soon evolved to include computer-based music production shortly before his departure to college. This led to a powerful thirst for knowledge and self-improvement, a thirst that has yet to be quenched as he continues to devour composition and production techniques every day. Thanks to this liquid background, Andrew integrates in his music a formidable arsenal of influences ranging from electronic artists like BT, Prodigy, Hybrid and Pendulum to film composers such as James Newton-Howard, Hans Zimmer, Danny Elfman and many more.

A true sound-scientist at heart, Andrew is the lead producer and co-founder of Impact Soundworks, a sound design & sample library development company with an enormous list of users all over the world, including some of the most well-known video game, television and film composers in the industry. If he is not designing a new collection of critically-acclaimed instruments for this company, he can be found concocting synthesizer presets which are similarly widely-used.

Andrew is frequently sighted teaching student composers and game developers at Drexel University or otherwise assisting fellow musicians in the fields of production, mastering, and sound design.
