Voices Raised

It's been quite some time since I have made a post here. For various reasons my interests have been elsewhere. A lot has changed. If you are interested you can read about some of it over on @xcountyreavelers

Along with my wife, travel, and photography, the other big passion in my life has been music. We are not in a position to travel much these days, so it seemed like a good time to follow an old dream and learn to create music electronically. I am still very new at it, but I am learning.

I wanted a place to share my efforts, and track my growth, and decided to dust off this account and put it to use.

This is my most recent composition. It was created in Ableton Live, mostly using the Decent Sampler plugin. It was created for February Album Writing Month (FAWM)

@scottf...


It is good to hear (see) you again. I know things have not been easy for you all lately. So the pause is quite understandable. But let me just say... this blew me away. I too, love all things music, and this piece was quite an awesomesauce creation... with a capital awesomesauce!! Back when I was going to school online for IT. I ran across a post about someone using Miroslav Philharmonik and went searching for what it was. After listening to the amazing sounds that could be created, I was searching for ways to get it! But low and behold... I had no funds, not a keyboard. But I think it would be worth every penny if you had the ability, as well as "tools" to use it. Let me share:

I took the "dreaded" piano lessons when I was a youngster lol. Many years later, after a failed attempt to sneak into the position of "drummer" in my school's band... (I ended up playing Tuba instead lol) I complained enough to my Mom and got a set of drums. The rest as they say, is history. But I still held that love of piano; the sounds that could be created, by simply touching those ivory keys... amazing. Go backward a bit... My grandmother bought me one of those cheap Casio keyboards for Christmas. I would play as much as I could... even played along with an old Baldwin Console piano that was given to my Mom as a wedding present. So I was always torn between drums, or piano lol.

Regardless... I always loved the cool sounds a synthesizer could make... so you can see why I loved your post.

There is another dear soul, that I met on the blockchain by the name of @sequentialvibe. He has created MANY cool-sounding musicscapes... I think you two would enjoy each other's content. Ok... I have started to go from comment, to post lol. But it is very good to see you back, and doing what you enjoy. I look forward to seeing/hearing what you share next brother...


Love and light, to you and the family.

Thanks for the kind words, and the suggestions. I am still at the very early stages of this new hobby. There are a lot of amazing sample packs out there, and this one looks great.

I will check out @sequentialvibe.

Thanks.

This is a lovely piece. Much like you the pandemic got me back into music again, as my photography dwindled. Here in the uk some people had to shield which I think in the US was called remain in-place - I turned to my keyboard and VSTs to create some music.

Warm welcome back Scott!!!
Nice to see you back onchain, and with your own account as well, so we can look forward to your music and astrophotography again?
I'm sure you're not done with the county searching yet either.

Thank you.
We are not doing much travel right now, though I am sure we will get back to it when we can. I'm not able to get out and do much photography right now either, but I do have some good stuff from the last couple of years, that I will get around to posting soon.
