Happy Weekend to you from the sunny west coast. 😎 Just a little update to say hello and to share that I’ve finally had a bit of a spark and been writing and recording music again. For a while I struggled and thought maybe I was going through some kind of block - for the first time in my life - but the light switched back on and the energy, ideas then melodies again started to flow, for which I’m very thankful. 🙏 I’m going to do my best to finish them and get them out there over the next few months, one by one. Thanks to those who continue to listen or leave me messages/comments on the various channels – I find your support really encouraging and I’m grateful. Much love to you. Take good care.🍻

Fallen summer angels – Music Review

Artist: Storie Grubb. Location: Boise, Idaho, U.S. Genre: Americana, Rock.

Now I would like to share the experience of listening to “fallen summer angels”.

In the case of Storie Grubb, the word Artist fits the description of someone that goes beyond the music. You need to visit his Bandcamp profile where you will find that he has produced many albums and he also displays skills as visual artist.

If you read the dates when his albums have been released, you will notice that he releases very often.

“fallen summer angels” is the first of seven tracks of his Instrumental album named “boom plague” released August 2019.

This track sets the scene for what is to come in the next tracks, it sounds to me like an introduction that makes the listener to get familiar with the sounds that are all over the album, flowing from the basic line up of a rock band: Guitars, bass and drums, and all of this accompanied with short but important appearance of a synthesizer emulating vocals emphasizing the chorus.

The short intro shows the clean and warm guitar tone, leading to strumming americana rhythm that turns into a rock riff preceding a sweet chorus.

The structure is simple during the length of the song until it prepares the listener for a different story with a bridge that appears after the middle to take you back to the rhythm section, and once again near the end, the bridge announces that something big is coming our way.

Then the track ends abruptly, I compare this to kicking open the door to let the remaining 6 tracks to come in the scene. I would say that it contrasts nicely with the intro of next track.

I think that this description is a bit more than enough. Now enjoy it.

I chose this track to share it with you because it transmitted to me the joy of strumming rhythm guitar. I bet that fans of americana and rock and roll genres would enjoy this.

Another reason of why I chose this track is that, how I mentioned before, it sounds like an introduction, not only for the album, but for a group of many of the albums that Storie Grubb has created.

“fallen summer angels” is an invitation to explore the large discography of Storie Grubb albums and enjoy the creation of this prolific artist.

What do you think about “fallen summer angels”? How did you live the experience? Feel free to leave a comment.

Thanks for reading and listening!

It’s the last Bandcamp Friday of the year for independent musicians. Please support DIY project this holiday, remember when you buy one album it’s worth literally thousands of streams! Album #31 Today is very much about being in Now. I released these song collections reflecting the thoughts, feelings and experiences of the places and people I have interacted with in a DIY approach over the years. I attempted to make them sound unique each time using friends I have known for a lifetime. I hope to explore various styles and production processes, I have experienced how music is very much a social sport and with these people, I have tried to depict a sonic representation of various shades and tones. This is Today. Thanks for listening! https://lofiuppercut.bandcamp.com/album/today-roots-alternative #bandcampfriday #diymusician #holidaysale #blackfriday #today #rootsalternative #positivethinking #somethingnew https://www.instagram.com/p/Clq2-k7g5Nk/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

uncertain - "the descending spirals of time" (video promo)

+++

NEW RELEASE coming 13 JAN 2023 on Orphanology / Bluesanct!

PRE-ORDERS AND ADVANCE STREAM ARE LIVE NOW AT BLUESANCT.BANDCAMP.COM

+++

Florian-Ayala Fauna is a Buffalo, New York-based trans-femme, intersex interdisciplinary artist who knows something about productive darkness and antagonizing binaries, and who shies away from neither the sublime nor the terrifying. Her latest full-length is a sonically and emotionally deep exploration of magic and pain.

The Descending Spirals of Time shares something in common aesthetically with Coil and early Current 93. (Fauna in fact has collaborated with Coil member Stephen Thrower.) Of course this isn’t only about electric lighting, and if the world is operating at a kind of deficit of productive darkness, it may be through the work of people like Florian-Ayala Fauna that we can recover some of those lost shadows.

As a trans and intersex person, as a practitioner of esoteric magick, and as a person who experiences very real visions on account of temporal lobe epilepsy, Florian-Ayala Fauna, as Uncertain, pushes against various veils and borders, exploring and antagonizing tidy divisions between worlds, between identities. The assemblage and transformation of samples and field recordings into greater works parallels a kind of transfiguration of the body, while the resulting work itself exalts magick and repels fascist realities, emotionally and aesthetically conveying extreme experiences and conjuring catharsis.

- M.Trecka

RIYL: Current 93, Coil, Puce Mary, Cindytalk, Cyclobe, Ramleh, Pain Chain, Drekka, Genital Shame, Pharmakon, Throbbing Gristle

Not the best quality, but just a wee snapshot of recording. This is the latest song I'm working on. Album coming together slowly, but surely.

My first blog post – Produce music at home - My goal.

One of my objectives by starting this blog is to be part of a community of people that enjoy music and have decided to become creators as I did.

In this blog I will share my personal experience on songwriting and producing my music, I am sharing, and I hope this works for you especially if you are starting as I am. If you are not starting and are more experienced, you can find an opportunity to share your experience here. It would be very useful to learn from your comments, so feel free to use this space for sharing your thoughts and grow together our online presence.

Also, I will be using this blog to promote my music, but at the same time I will be posting about valuable discoveries of emerging artists that want their music to be heard.

Welcome to my blog and I hope we can use it to grow together

Can you produce your own music with limited budget and time?

Although I started creating music sometime around 11 years ago, I think I am starting right now in the middle of 2020, because the previous years have been a learning experience for me.

In this post I share with you the answer to the question in the post title. The short answer is “Yes, you can”. So, in the long answer, I am sharing a bit of my experience, in case you want to take some considerations if you are planning to become a DIY musician/producer and you think you don’t have the money and time to achieve it.

I am a full-time design engineer with an 8 to 5 job, so making music is not my primary activity. However, I have managed to find some time to have 2 projects, and a couple of EPs for each project in Spotify and other digital platforms. Now I need to work on promotion, but that is another topic for another post.

From the process to record my first EP I list some things to consider when starting to produce your music:

Time. What would you think if I tell you that for starting, you only need around 3 hrs. a week?, yes as a minimum, because you will need more than that in the future, but now, you only need that ridiculous amount of time to start with songwriting. Sometimes it is overwhelming not to have sufficient time to sit down and write a song, especially when you need time to work and pay the bills, to take care of your family, for parenting, to be a student, etc. So, go ahead and record or write some riffs, that is where all it starts. For recording you can read about the equipment you need, but if you want to start right now, just grab your smart phone and do some recordings. Do not rush, enjoy that time.

Songwriting. For starting, you do not need music theory at all. Again, please note that you will need to learn it, but in the beginning of your journey, just start playing what you like and sounds good to you. Remember, you are recording random riffs, not writing songs, but have in mind that each riff you write is a potential song that captures all the emotions for that unique time. I will write about turning your riffs into songs in another post. By the way, I want to mention that I am not trying to disregard the importance of knowing music theory, this is a continuous learning process and we always need to recognize and learn from the people that have spent years of their lives studying music and making a living from it professionally.

Equipment. Long story short: Start with what you have, everything works for your purpose. Now, digging deeper in the topic: You can start with a minimum of equipment. This is what ideally you need, but I mention the equipment I had when I started so you can see that lack of gear cannot be an obstacle to reach your goals:

A PC or MAC or laptop with sufficient processing power for multitracking. Experts recommend getting a hybrid system with an SSD for running operating system and DAW, and an HDD for storing your work, it is also needed to have a backup drive or media. I have a hybrid laptop running windows 10 and the following specs with an Intel® Core™ i7-3740QM CPU @ 2.70Ghz with 6 GB RAM. It is not a monster and not even a computer for music production, but my DAW (Digital Audio Workstation) never crashes when working multitrack with several VSTs and VSTis at the same time, good enough for me, but eleven years ago I was using a very slow machine with a Celeron™ processor or something like that, and I was able to record and mix my first EP (it was hard, but I did it).

Have fun, be creative and do not fear the criticism. Creating original music is exposing a part of yourself that is unique, so never let the criticism found in internet to put you down, you always must move forward. Also, do not become your worst critic, since at first sight, you will want to sound better and better each time, this can be frustrating especially when you start comparing to other artists, please learn to appreciate your own work and effort, and keep learning, growing and achieving a better sound each time, feeling proud of what you are able to do.

Set your goals. Ask yourself, what you want to achieve (an EP, a full length recording, a single, etc.) and set realistic due dates, do not rush take your time to learn, experiment, read, watch tutorials and get every resource available to improve your sound.

Finally, just go ahead and do it. You can start right away, after reading this post. As I mentioned before, you just need to take your guitar, or keyboard, or drums, or your voice, and record it with your smart phone, keep it and decide when you need to take the next step to turn it into a song. You will find a lot of resources in the internet for the next step: Arming the tracks in the DAW for recording. Now that I mention this, there will be a post soon.

A quick comparison. Just for reference, I have been talking about my first EP, so if you want to know what I am referring to please check it out.

It is my metal project named “Uprising now!” the EP “Insane Therapy” was released to Jamendo.com in 2009. You will notice that the sound quality needs improvement, however it was achieved with the old gear I have mentioned in this post and many limitations (no interface, no condenser microphones, slow computer, etc.). This one motivated me to keep improving.

Now you can check my latest “Uprising Now!” release in spotify “Welcome to Uncertainty”. Please have in mind that it was recorded at home. Do you think it improved?

You can do the same comparison for my second project named “Mesaya”, first EP released to Jamendo.com in 2010 and please notice the quality of sound. I struggled to achieve good recordings and that complicated the mix and mastering processes, but it worked a lot for my learning process.

Now check my “Mesaya” latest release. Can you notice the difference in sound quality?

There is a lot of room for improvement for the sound quality, but it is getting better and better, as I move forward.

In summary. Everyone interested can become a producer of their own material. At the beginning, it is not needed to have a large amount of time and money to start creating music. There is a minimum of equipment that is needed to be considered for getting in the short term. Meanwhile, everyone can start as we speak.

More challenges will come as increasing sound quality continuously and promoting your music, but the first step is to start… now. Good luck.

Thanks for reading!
