I released an album tonight

[BlazerCaravan]

https://bigdrahma.bandcamp.com Check me out! I’m bonafide!

 

[SlyPokerDog]

Congrats! Can't wait to listen to it.

 

[EL PRESIDENTE]

Call it a mixtape, you'll have more street cred.

 

[BlazerCaravan]

Call it a mixtape, you'll have more street cred.

There's no amount of street cred that can save me from the fact that my opening song is 23 minutes long and in 5/4.

 

[GriLtCheeZ]

Nice, dig it!

Pretty nice stuff.

 

[Further]

Congrats. I just listened to a couple minutes, awesome job! I'll listen to more later.

 

[barfo]

Before I listen, I need to know if there are any references to Santa when it is played backwards.

[BlazerCaravan]

I made the album free since it's just a hobby so if you want to download it for free go ahead!

I take it you might be a Rush geek. Bless you.

 

[BlazerCaravan]

I take it you might be a Rush geek. Bless you.

I am at that.

 

[Elton]

I am at that.

Have you ever written a song so epic, (23 min **** me!) that by the end of the song, you were actually being influenced by yourself, at the beginning of the song?

(skip to 4:03)

 

[Elton]

Btw, I really dig what I'm hearing so far.

You need to score my 'They Live' fan film I'm making in a few months.

I would be honored!

 

[Elton]

Ok, I have to ask, do you have a glorious wall of synthesizers a la Vangelis, Jarre, etc, that you compose with, or is this all on one goddamn laptop with DAW software.

Either way, bless you.

I wish I had all the big modular synths!

My setup is a 13" Macbook Pro running Logic Pro X and Reaper, and a 21-key MIDI keyboard... and years of tinkering experience

I can appreciate that. I just am old enough to have a nostalgic love for wall-of-synth-porn, even with Yanni in front of it.

 

[Elton]

I play around with Reason, but still suck at anything besides noodling around with synth patches.

His Acropolis album is fantastic, Yanni or no!

Yeah, I'm basically releasing albums to pay for my software synth habit. My father paints to pay for his art supply habit.

 

[OSUBlazerfan]

'inspired by Tangerine Dream, and Jean-Michel Jarre' Nice!!!

 

[Elton]

Art is just an expensive addiction. Try filmmaking!

 

[Elton]

Seriously, really like the music. Thanks for sharing

 

[BlazerCaravan]

I seriously want to encourage anyone who wants to just download the album for free; it boosts my numbers and gets me some perks with the bandcamp service. If you want to throw in a buck, feel free, but you're under no obligation. But downloads help my visibility.

 

[Elton]

One of my favorite synth soundtracks is the Tangerine Dream soundtrack to 'Risky Business'.

 

[Elton]

And the other would be the Vangelis score to 'Bladerunner.'

 

[BlazerCaravan]

One of my favorite synth soundtracks is the Tangerine Dream soundtrack to 'Risky Business'.

Their 80's output is my favorite. Lots of good soundtracks and the albums Exit through Optical Race.

 

[Elton]

Yep, I even prefer their score to Jerry Goldsmith's score for Ridley Scott's 'Legend.'

 

[BlazerCaravan]

Of course I'm a giant Klaus Schulz nerd too; I think I have all the La Vie Electronique albums now.

 

[BlazerCaravan]

Yep, I even prefer their score to Jerry Goldsmith's score for Ridley Scott's 'Legend.'

YES! And this from a guy who basically worships Goldsmith for his Star Trek work.

 

[Further]

I just bought a copy and am listening to the album now as I get ready for day to begin. Uplifting.
