My album goes to Ian Sheperd for mastering!

My album, 'One' by Fusion Galaxy, now goes to mastering. This is an exciting time for me. I've never produced an album before. It has taken over three years to complete. I have hired session musicians to help realize my musical vision. The first session guy I found was CF's own Christopher Alpiar. The moment I heard his saxophone solos, I knew he would be great to work with. Seth Burkhart on drums was also an early discovery. He plays with his jazz group all over the world, and also has a…See More

"I agree with you, Andrew. I think the great composers often noodled around and improvised and stumbled upon fantastic musical ideas and also junk. They then tossed away the junk (we'll call them mistakes) and re-cyled the fantastic sections to…"

Hey, Doug! Love Solstice. I've been absent from the forum for quite a while. I think I missed out. I don't know if you're interested in having your music played on podcasts, but if so you might check out www.soundcloudpodcast.com. I think it's relatively new, and they seem to play mostly electronic music (created on a computer). I love electronica but would hate to see live instrumental music go the way of the 8-track tape.

Best wishes.

Damn Doug! Solistice is GREAT! There are guys walking around with gold records and academy awards who don't do work this good. Congrats.

Thank you Doug! I'm really grateful for your interest and appreciation!

Funnily enough, I'm heading for Dusseldorf in Germany on Monday morning for a couple of days, not music related though. I'm looking forward to getting back into the swing here.

Thanks for the welcome Doug,

Real nice setup you have there. Great music! As anyone ever told you you look a little like Randy Newman?

Thanks Doug,

See through me was co written and produced with Alex Dunn (also on composers forum) The distortion sound is quite crackly as I'm using a fender strat (single coils) I'm working on getting a better sound.

Thanka Doug, "Two Jazzmen" was purely improvised and then accelerated, edited and left unfinished; it exists in MIDI form only. I am not knowledgeable enough in Jazz instrumentation and rhythms to arrange it with the swinging rhythm; you are right also that it needs pauses to break out the overused rhythm. Your Jazz pieces look much more interesting; they are really Jazz!

About Me (MUST be more than 10 words to be approved):
Guitar lessons in my youth, sent me in the direction of composing music. Later I taught myself a basic knowledge of piano/keyboard. I divide my time between music and the visual arts. (see my Website) I have been using MIDI and DAWS since the late 80's. I've posted a few photos of my gear. My favorites include Wayne Shorter, Hendrix, Beethoven, Copland, John Adams, Stravinsky, Brian Eno, and various fusion bands, to name a few.
I'm currently working on my first album, although I've composed and recorded for many years. I'm using the band name, Fusion Galaxy. I'm working with session musicians and I've found our Remote Sessions group to be helpful. I just recorded a local vocalist here in Phoenix, AZ.
