Dubstep....dubstep....dubstep!
Dance till you drop!
A couple of years ago, a friend of mine turned me on to making electronic music. We got some basic software and started playing around with it. It was discouraging at first because I didn't know how to make the sounds I could hear in my head - the software was hard to learn and figure out. I found myself sitting at the computer while everyone else was playing video games experimenting with the software and trying to put different tracks together. Once I had figured a few things out, I started sharing basic skills with Dylan and Chase, and from then on it was mostly me, Dylan Mangurian, and Chase Doyle that ended up making most of the music. Over time, we started learning more and more what to do.
Last year for Christmas I got a mixer/controller and we added that to our system. It took a long time to create a piece that I even liked...probably close to a year and a half until I made a song that I really liked. This year, our technical skill has really advanced over what it was. I really love making electronic music. So much so, that I intend to attend a sound engineering school in Denver this fall. I'll be training in a working studio with people who are already in the industry. The name of the school is "Recording Connection".
It's hard to describe how many hours and how many experiments were required to get to the point that I'm at now. The feedback that I'm getting from other people is encouraging, and I'm liking the pieces that I'm producing now. In fact, I'm pretty excited about the pieces I'm producing now. More and more people are following us on SoundCloud site we have (about 150 people so far). In the last 6 months we've been asked to play at several events: we played at Hunter Bar during X-Games and we've also played at several friends parties and we played for prom at Yampah this year.
I decided to submit an "album" called FIN of my work for my senior project. Although I have quite a few songs that I've produced I've picked four that I particularly like. There's about 80 to 100 hours of work in just these seven songs. The links to the songs I've included on the album appear below (click on Ninjun). I hope you enjoy!
