New projects

Hey guys! I thought I would share with you the projects I am working on.
In fact I am working on my new album which will be released in January or February 2017. It is for about 95% done and this album will contain more up-tempo tracks and mixes with other styles.

A few months ago I also started a new Dance project under the name FORMAX. Under this name I will produce some nice trance tracks in the near future, a first glance can be found on Soundcloud.

Last month I bought a Korg DVP-1 Vocoder and I already used it in a new project. German Shlandikov from OBLIVION asked me to make vocoders for one of the tracks on his new album, so I made him some vocoders. And of course the DVP will be used on my own new album as well.

Talking about the holidays: Space Holidays, the annual compilation by Space Sound Records, will contain two of my new tracks as a teaser for my new album. I am proud my music will be part of these compilations and people can obtain them for free from their websites.

Although I like helping people I don’t have enough time to answer every request I get. Sometimes young Spacesynth producers ask me all kind of questions or ask me to do a remix. On my desktop three folders are awaiting my attention:

– Mariusz Baranowski: A guy from Poland who made some Spacesynth music in the nineties asked me to do a remix for one of his tracks a long time ago. I simply didn’t find the time to work on it, but I will do so in the near future.

– Rebecca Ekman: Unfortenately I had to cancel this project. I had a perfectly good track ready, but miss Ekman was probably too busy making selfies, and didn’t answer anymore.

– Fernando Gomez: A starting Spacesynth producer from Spain which asked me to take a look at one of his tracks and maybe do a remix or some improvements.

So as you can see I am very busy at the moment, and I am also trying to find some time to repair old synthesizers and other audio equipment 🙂

See you later!

Laserdance

Hey, it has been a while since I posted here, so it’s about time to give you an update!

As you might know our friends from Laserdance: Michiel van ver Kuy and Erik van Vliet released a brand new album: Force of Order. Of course Michiel produced all music and former Hotsound boss Erik is in charge of the marketing of the album. I bought the album on CD and on vinyl, because I am not only making covers, but I am also a true fan who thinks they deserve some kind of reward for their work. By buying a CD I think you can give a compliment to the makers, and besides that I like vinyl 🙂

So whats next? I probably won’t make music in Laserdance style anymore, because when they start making music themselves again there’s really no point in trying to keep their music ‘alive’ is there? Also I’ve already done that, more or less, and am looking for new challenges. So I am working on some new music, and searching for new sounds and mixes of styles. After all, Laserdance is not the only music-style I like. I also like early Synthpop like The Cure, Depeche Mode, Erasure, Yazoo, Eurythmics, Ultravox and so on. And also music from Koto, Divine, Bobby O., Georgio Moroder, Art of Noise as long as it has driving basslines and pumping beats!

I grew up in the eighties and nineties so no wonder I like these styles of music, and of course my music will be inspired by those artists. Also for another project I am working on mixed styles in Trance/Techno and Space synth and Italodance styles. When this will be released it will be most probably under a different name.

So I will not entirely give up on Spacesynth, I am just looking for new ways to integrate other styles into this music. I’ll keep you posted!
