Vangelis Rapsodies CD

I had a few piano lessons and picked up basic music theory as a kid, and continued to muck around on different keyboards ever since . I went through a flute phase and a clarinet phase that didn't last. I've always been into percussion instruments and in more recent years I've also wrestled with the piano accordion. So, I play a few instruments fairly poorly. I can't play guitar, or any string or brass instrument. I've always liked making recordings. My approach to music was all about rhythm and melody and less to do with the chord based approach (although since picking up the accordion, that's changing). I have stuck mainly with keyboards and percussion and knob twiddling, composing, writing!. The accordion got me back into occasionally jamming with friends. Its good to do that. But, these four CDs are very much solo efforts, and all tracks are my own compositionsElectronic musical devices came along to help people like me overcome their shortcomings and create reasonably presentable compositions and recordings cheaply, and at home. To me, knob twiddling was a welcome new part of the whole process. I have put together albums for a long time, with some vague idea of selling tapes or CD's, although until now I've barely ever attempted to promote them. After Julie's heard it, I tend to just put it aside. Some tracks did make their way into the outside world and I believe I do have a few fans.

I'm drawn to rhythms from all over the place and from all different eras. There's plenty of good non-rhythmic music about, too, but I usually choose to make music with a beat. I'm also after a heightened dramatic or moody sound. I kid myself sometimes that my stuff would work well in movie soundtracks. While I am fairly careful about the crafting of an instrumental tune, I tend to throw down the vocal track in a much looser fashion. Having been forever warped by 'Ying Tong' as a child I remain unable to take the popular song form completely seriously, so my songs tend to be silly. On some of these recordings its the first and only time I've ever sung the song. In more recent years, what with computer recording and editing, I have sometines made the vocals more 'lush'. Lately, I have been trying not to put on strange foreign accents so much. I'm a bit shy about airing the full extent of my foolishness in public, and the silliest of my songs remain in hiding, heard only by poor Julie. Of those songs which I have chosen to share, some occasionally cause me brief waves of embarrassment which waft over me and then gently subside.
