We are all made from dust clouds in the firmament and that from stars-and then it goes on, the planets and so on….and of a Truth, the Universe was made from the unseen, so the unseen has made me………..!

Winter is here and time to Compose!

by Stokes-Herbst on November 16, 2010

in Electronic Music, General, Music

Hi,

I love the winter, and snow etc, it helps me for whatever reason to compose.  I have the Native Instruments Komplete 7 system and Kore 2.  With so many sounds and mangling facilities, I should come up with some good stuff for the new EP I’m working on.  Still mixing the 4th track (been a few weeks now!?) Winter, live on forever-I get more done………Christmas stuff being cooked in the kitchen-brilliant-what a smell!

Been listening to Carols and Tchaikovsky looking forward to my new Denon DM38 Stereo system with Cambridge S20/30 speakers.

Still loads of ideas and not enough time to implement them-but what a joy looking forward to it…..

Seeing my mate Ryan Petiffer on Friday to discuss music and Life….he’s a brilliant Electronic type-y-thingy writer-hear him on www.soundcloud.com  He might come for a Costa Coffe this time-I dream!

Cheers all

A Poem for the World………..

by Stokes-Herbst on October 28, 2010

in General, Spiritual

a silver blue planet

hanging as if by a thread

in the star-lit firmament,

turning, turning slowly and comfortable

yet on it’s surface, there reigns sadness and confusion among its inhabitants

Long lost, those who were destined for greater things

they mourn the torn, the born

for reconciliation and beauty that was promised

yet reconciliation is theirs to be had

the Creator mourns for the torn, the born and stretches His hand out across the Abyss…………

X-Factor or Quirk-Factor!?

by Stokes-Herbst on October 24, 2010

in Electronic Music, General, Music

Hi,

Is this turning into a ‘quirk show’ and destroying the serious aspect?  I’m near to becoming disillusioned with the public vote and Lois Walsh‘s staged show!   I think it might demonstrate the better path of coming up through the ranks-old style proving ground.  Michael Buble is on the way up……..Matt Cardle demonstrates the genuine!?  The x-factor fade……….(I think this weeks performances were the best possibly of all x-factors)

Electronic EP has grown!

by Stokes-Herbst on October 12, 2010

in Electronic Music, General, Music

Hi All,

In my latest attempts at writing the latest Electronic track have caused me to add a bass line where there was none.  I had a brilliant drum feel to the track and thought I not need to add a bass line-so deep the ground shook–I now have to try it after experimenting!  Then come the effects bending……thought I was up to the mastering stage!!

Cheers……….Paul

Hi All,

thank you for your support these past weeks.  Just a reminder that the Album imagination is available from Believe Digital and you can hear the tracks from there or itunes etc  Will be in studio this afternoon still working on the tracks for the forthcoming EP.  A Russian Orchestra is available in Moscow for recording works at very good rates called ‘Moscow Recordings’.  They have all the gear.  Might use them one day for song tracks and works I have.

Cheers for now-Paul

Hols over…………….?

by Stokes-Herbst on October 2, 2010

in General

Hi All,

I return refreshed and ‘eager to go’ from hols in Scotland, also having dined on a Haggis caught in the hills….?  We had a Stag wander nonchalantly through the garden in front of the car coming up the drive!  Its a new season and a bit of software needs to be purchased to keep up to date-Wavelab 7 for the Mac, and an update to Native Instruments Komplete 6 to 7.  Also got to do final mix on Electronic piece…..at last!…..and start to next work on the EP.  Looking forward to the new sounds from Komplete 7 set of synthesizers…..this will help with my obsession of the particles…..and getting them into music….?

Cheers

Scotland and the music in the hills…….

by Stokes-Herbst on September 17, 2010

in Electronic Music, General, Music

Hi,

Going to Scotland for a week to get yet more inspiration-got to mix on Electronic track when I get back…………..hoping for more inspiation for when I get back-fortunately got stuff recorded to dictaphone if short.

Inerested in how to ‘warm-up’ my more harsh digital recordings-there are plugins, but are analouge units better?  I have one outboard gear-SPL viatlizer MKII, which is good for polish.  Wavelab 7 is just out and I will have a look for what ‘warmers’ it has……..
