All the Words - NEW EP

in

Hey!

All the Words EP V2 UPDATED DUE TO DISTN COY.jpg

Great news! On Saturday (13th) the EP version of “All the Words” is being launched by the label, GBM.

5 tracks

1. All the Words (Original Abbey Road Master)

2. All the Words (Maracas Remix)

3. All the Words (Acoustic Abbey Road Piano Remix)

4. All the Words (Candyfloss Remix)

5. All the Words (Original Remix) [Instrumental]

Here’s a little background:

Track 1 is “All the Words (Original Abbey Road Master)” which was engineered by Alex Wharton, who is one of the best guys at Abbey Road. Alex’s first version (the one with the brain in black) was a warmer version. This is new and a little intense as a master. Lovely work Alex.

Track 2 is the Maracas, which you might have heard before. It’s my favourite track right now because it’s summer and this makes me smile and my feet move quicker.

Track 3 has been stripped down and a new piano channel. Although it’s called the “Acoustic Abbey Road Piano” it’s still at my studio (Beach Studio) but uses an amazing full sampled Yamaha CFX Grand Piano, that was sampled at Studio One at Abbey Road by Gary Garritan and it includes the signal processes at Abbey Road. I can sit at this plugin in my studio for hours before getting work done. It’s sounds amazing.

Track 4 is a completely new track - it’s using Output’s wonderful Arcade plugins, which are full of creativity and fun. I need to do more with this because it is also incredibly easy to use. There’s a loop I’d love to use again into a completely new song sometime. Watch this space.

Track 5 is the original backing for the original black brain single. It was using Native Instruments’ Noir piano (both the Felt and Pure samples). It’s brand new and I’m loving it. It’s also using some Spitfire’s strings (moody, creative and special).

What’s behind the whole “All the Word” project?

Well, I’m thinking it’s time to actually get some material out there. The label (GBM) is incredibly encouraging, something creative and productive. It’s great to get my brain working for a new. Also, I want to try a number of different genres just to see what happens with the stats after a while. Having something out there is a great habit. How many I’ll end up with I really don’t know but I hope it’s a few more than I’ve done so far :)

Anyway, hope you enjoy!

Take care of yourselves all people,

S.

All the Words NEW REMIX

in

Hey!

All the Words (Maracas Remix).jpg

Great news! Tomorrow another single is being launched, “All the Words (Maracas Remix)”, which is a more up-tempo remixed version of the original song, “All the Words”.

Main reasons for this were:

  1. I wanted to put something a little more upbeat, and this is a more chilled out production, and

  2. I wanted to have a little more colour in the front, given the summer weather has gone crazy hot here across Europe (including here!).

There’s some more music coming, but I’ll let you know once I’ve got a fixed date for it.

Anyway, hope you enjoy!

Take care of yourselves all people,

All the Words

in ,

So on Sunday my very first single is being launched, “All the Words”. YAY!!

It’s a big moment for me in two ways:

  1. It’s my first ever single I’ve had on global distribution with Great British Music, my label

  2. It’s the end of one high mountain as a stroke survivor.

So here’s to everyone who understands what this kind of journey is like and for all who’ve been supporting and praying for me on this road. And for those on the journey I’m on, here’s the message:

NEVER, NEVER, EVER GIVE UP ON YOU, JUST TRY

Take care all you people… life is ridiculously short.

S.

P.S. Hey, it’s arrived!
