Default Hey FFR...

Sorry I don't post much in these forums, and hopefully it doesn't look too bad that one of my few posts is about all about me.

Merry Christmas! And on this occasion I managed to finally tie up the loose ends on publishing my first commercial endeavor.

CDBaby link

It's not free, though I have free stuff on my soundcloud (as "kordelp"), so all I expect is at least some visits and maybe some first impressions on the samples. If you like it, buy it. If not, share it to someone else. I'm not trying to make serious money right now though it'd be nice. Just trying to get the word out.

Thanks! And oh btw my blog.

Nice, jazz techno. I really like some of these beats, especially New Stride. Awesome work man!

Thx! And I never thought to consider some of the tracks as "jazz techno" though it may fit. What do ya know?

Glad u think so! Yeah I've been on the down-low only really sharing stuff to close family and friends. This is my first time really going out the box. I still expect to start small. I have plans to compose for videogames in the near future (as I am also a "composer" in the classical sense) though I've got a few investments to make still (sound library-wise).

Seriously though, I'm enjoying the replies here. I feel that what I've done in this album is mostly non-standard and therefore is pretty much a risk. But risks are fun! :P

It's funny you say that because I have done that before. However, from song to song my approach varies a lot from 1) creating the track first and making a melody (jazz) to go with it to 2) creating a melody and creating a backing to go with it (electronic or not) to 3) challenging myself to do something different than an initial not-so-special idea to 4) so on and so on. I guess the only thing I worry about is that nothing seems forced or superimposed (which is probably what you're sensing).

I appreciate your analysis. It's almost good news that you're not nicking at me for something I'm totally oblivious to. Here's to hoping I only improve from here.

Cool work. Out of curiosity, what mic do you use to record your trumpet?

Shure sm57. Because it can handle high SPL levels and is fairly cheap for being a professional and very commonly used mic. The mic I used before would clip my digital preamp (with preamp levels all the way down). Now I can blast clip-free head-on with the preamp halfway (crystal clear!)

That's what I use! ^_^ Mostly to hear the difference in my sight-reading and prepared performance, but anywho. I'm a classical trumpeter; jazz isn't really my thing. I can do Blues, but my tone generally isn't bright enough for jazz.

Excuse my bump, but this is just an announcement this album is now (or has been) live on Amazon and iTunes (and many others online stores). See my blog for details and links (if you don't care for searching :P ).

I think I generally agree with kgz, but you also say you need to make more of an investement in your sound library, so things might be different when you get all the stuff you want to make your music.
I am totally into the genre mixing though, and the melody and harmonization from the sample of the tracks is definitely excellent.
My fav on your list is track 6 so far, very catchy, love that little intro. But, for instance, the timbre of that bass drum that comes in needs more grit to really mix the sounds together imo. It's a bit too much genre pasting instead of genre melding. Do you get some actual counter-point going on in that track later on that builds on the answer-call thing? :-p Mebbe I'll have to actually buy the thing eh
