jsm is Back!!!

Youve guessed...

Im not giving up on changing the World, but I am most definatelly going to try and make a better me first...

Sadly now, that will not include the Politics of Global bickering, of which I wasnt really helping was I, I was just adding fuel to the fire, and tbh, I am finding it all sooo boooring. And i do mean boooring, it seems like the same old saga again and again and again. Maybe Im just getting older and more boring if thats possible hahahaha...
(lol - friends told me i was boring at 20years old -lol)

No More!!!
Game Over!!!

Its time to focus on what was given to me, but in all honesty I really have enjoyed the break and can now see that I really did need it...

You see, the Music is something I have always taken waaay tooo seriouslly, and probablly always will. And for an ameteur perfectionist i can tell you, thats hard going. Especially for a programmer Producer Arranger like me who seems hell bent on audio dynamics as apposed to what makes a good tune...

But maybe thats why I really do love the fact that sooo long ago I just uploaded my material, knowing that this would work against me in terms of a signing or contract...

Why? - well in hindsite I now realise i never had any intention of selling my music. The amount of times i have deliberatelly sabotaged a potential interest you wouldnt believe! But now I can see that it was definatelly the right decision. DEFINATELLY!!!

See! i dont want to make money off them. theyve grown up now, and belong out there to torture all your ears with my shall we say WEAK singing. They dont belong locked up anymore. They sort of belong out there so to speak. Amongst all of us!
((pending certain exploitation rights under UK law of-course lol hahaha))

The world is changing and i just dont want to be left behind. The internet alone is teaching us that. And so I hope all of you will use your browsers to forfill your interests aswell, and not rely too much on a ranter and a raver like meee...

And now, theres a cheap woody untuned acoustic hung on a wall that needs some dusting and some serious attention. phew! its been a while. But hey, here goes...

till next time

Jsm & CLC First Eva Duet

Kind of Day Today

My first Eva proper Duet with my Second Favourite Princess, my neice Charlee, and boy am i proud of her... (no1? always Di, always Di)

.

Now i have been doin this for a while now, and Im an old b****r you see. But Laalis only 10! Yep 10 i said. But it gets better. You see when i jam, i just make up lyrics as i go along. A skill i learnt from my early old skool hip hop days. And my little princess has just sort of played along with me and followed this random approach, so much so, she's starting to gain this skill. And this is truly the first time that WE have collaborated on an inspired jam, which lets face it, with the right resources, would make a nice little tune...

.

And when my beepin CD-Recorder isnt playing up, and shes in an inspired mode, she quite literally goes through my ''wavs to sing to folder'' and just jams to whichever wav-loop she feels like, and i manage to record them. now you muso geeks will know that getting someone so young to just make lyrics up like that really is quite unusual. Hopefully she sticks at it...

oooh, I really wish I could!!!

Well, it wasnt untill a couple of nights ago, while listening to some edits and programming I had applied a while back, to a VERY POPULAR movie hit tune, that I was sooo pleasantly re-assured of its quality and viabillity on hearing it once again, and definatelly warranted some public attention...

==

Having said that, I deem the idea to be that good, and sooo very commercially viable, at its simplist as a re-done housey PoP tune, that I have decided not to post it up at all. And allthough normally i would post a small selection on-line for preview purposes only so as to respect Copyright Infringements, I know only to well this idea will be nicked immediatelly by other good programmers and producers, and thus my chance will be gone. And the ones I do post, well, they really are just the typical run of the mill to me now. But this, this is something different, something special i think, allbeit a bit too meee! (jsm that is)

==

And the irony, is its such a good potential re-vamp, but by any-one, not just me. And taking into account the popularity of the film, it just cant go wrong! But humbly for now, it must remain under wraps, residing on my very small hard drive (no really) untill such time the right time and path bekons. Its also greeaaat to be at the stage, where you know in your heart of hearts, your good ideas, aswell as your not so good. WoW, what a gem waiting to be discovered I have, and you wont get to hear it here. SorrY!

Runtime Error gets some attention!!!

Runtime Error V1.03

Now I have had an informal telephone call and a chat about this little baby from someone in the TV/Ad Industry (i thinks) showing an interest, allthough she did make it clear that there were many potential pieces under review apart from mine (I tend not to get excited at all now until i see something in writing... :)

===

You know, even if I dont get the call, its nice to know some of my little babies are starting to get noticed, and quite rightly so. Having said that, I have had quite a bit of notice allready, but just not quite what I am after yet... (song info)

Now this really is a favourite of mine, and my nephew Scotts tooo, hence the reason hes splashed everywhere in pic as he decided a while back he wanted to appear in the Video Production to this...

I decided to rip the varying versions and post them for all to hear and Njoy! and make sure you listen to the original tracks 7 and 8, and you will hear my small influence from the old skool hip hop, aswell as how this was originally formalised, but commercialised of-course!!! and thnx to Chard for his excellent influences, and all legal tooo of-course...

Old Skool Beats, A nice Bluesy Guitar lick, very simple laid back editing, of-course the SL1200's scratching, me and some dodgey Beat Box, and a nice lick of lyrics to finnish it off. A definate uplifter for the younger male generation... till next time... (song info)

'Sunny Side' of a better day

...Sunny Side...
Sunny Side, a Simple Un-Plugged Happy Chappy Pop, with an uplifting vocal hook and Guitars to boot!

The backing was originally put together for a Fat-Boy-Slim idea which would have worked easily in its own right. But when Chard and I jammed to the backing with some guitars, and then subsequently free-styled some lyrics on top, the influence of the guitars took the vocal approach in a totally different direction, and hence what you hear here.
