Music of the Spheres…..

by Stokes-Herbst on March 2, 2011

in Electronic Music, General, Music

Particle physics and music-how CAN you interpret ‘particles performance’ into music that conveys accurately or non accurately, their status and movement? What an ask! Still I like having a go……

Do other complex worlds just as complex as our own exist in other dimensions co-existing alongside us and can we capture the nuances of these parallel Universes??  They have been postulated to exist by a few scientists, and if that is so, can we pick up their harmonies??

According to physics, the Sub-Atomic World is so complex they call it ‘Exotic’ because of the complexity, beauty, and non-conformance to standard equations.  They are having to build a new mathematical language and ‘archtiecture’ to understand the workings.  What would the music of these ‘worlds’ sound like if they exist?  Scientists say there are 11 to 13 dimensions known to exist-how do these sound?  How does the music of ‘paralell dimensions’ interact with our music?  Interesting question.  Currently, I am writing pieces for an Electronic EP, and the current piece takes a regular but beautiful ‘Glass Bells’ sounds, with other sound creating harmonies.  Then, there are sounds created by mashing pianos that sounds like particles ‘spinning off’ at speed.

This is only a light ‘go’ at this time as there are various other idea’s also claiming thinking time…..

Cliff Richard and itunes release?

by Stokes-Herbst on February 18, 2011

in Electronic Music, General, Music

It was with surprise that I learned of the release a Christmas compilation album called ‘an offbeat and unusual Christmas’ which contained ‘Christmas in Narnia’-a piece that I wrote some time ago, but that has been well received wherever it is played.

Although not my current Genre, ‘Christmas in Narnia’ is an Electronic/Orchestral piece which takes you into the snow covered forest-deeper and deeper-until as some see it, the queen of Narnia appears on the sleigh and disappears further into the forest…….

The strings and piano with a bell like effect, bring a lovely quality which immediately tells of Christmas, snow and forests-perhaps as in Scandinavian forests……you will hear it on www.itunes.com/paulstokes

latest from Paul Stokes…..

Hi all,

Hope you had a brillaint Christmas/New Year……..just to remind you, I am working on my latest Electronic Album which is proving a real ‘proving ground’ and testing my ‘keep to brief’ ability.  When I write, I find myself going in too many directions, and having to scale back idea’s.  If I didnt I think people would be left feeling confused or ‘torn apart’-LOL.

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

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

Music Break!?

by Stokes-Herbst on August 19, 2010

in Electronic Music, Music

Hi All,

Mad summer thinking is here!  Everybody goes on holiday…..and stops work or other….I’ve had a break doing house stuff-painting, repaired house etc.

Looking forward to Autumn-had one or two musical ideas and recorded them on handheld tape.  Continuing with Electronic EP-have to alter some of the mixes when I get back to studio……working on third work today-few bars of drum sounds.  Maybe the recent Perseid meteor showers will inspire some ideas, although the tracks for the EP are essentially Astro-Physics and Particle Physics related.

Looking forward to more results from the Large Hadron Colider to get yet more inspiration………..!

Cheers

Composing Electronic Music

by Stokes-Herbst on January 27, 2010

in Electronic Music, General, Music

Hi All,

I have been busy composing tracks for the forthcoming EP today.  It is purely Electronic in feel working on the Kore 2 series of Synthesizers.  Had a good bash at it today, working out Bass parts for the 2nd half of the track, although there is a more to go.  The sound is spacey though up front in parts with a good synth lead sound that I have designed.  Just as I was getting it deep, I had to give up due to the daughter ringing me for a lift :)

Having a night out with the 3 stooges (Ian Boddy, Marcus Howarth & me) tomorrow night!-a music seminar ending in the most important part-a curry!

Cheers

Paul :)
