Home Based House Music/Band Resurrection
We all have our New Year resolutions to hold onto, I’m sure, but what I’d really like to do this year is spend more time on my electronic music project called Floordestroyer. I originally planned it to be a live electronic act complete with a real singer and all that tech stuff and wires running around with high chances of people tripping over them, and that really is still quite a realistic endeavor if only I could get myself to sit down and write more songs in my bedroom “studio.” Consisting mainly of a 49key Oxygen midi controller, Ableton Live and a DX7-S, I find it a good combination to put musical ideas down to tape. Ableton Live’s stretch and loop features make creating dance music not necessarily easier, but definitely more creative.
Also, I’ve been meaning to spend some time working on another project as well called Themarycuries. It’s difficult pulling the band together for regular practice because of everyone’s working schedule, so I’m thinking that for 2009, TMC can work as a studio band with live musicians only during those rare occasions where we’d actually perform. As such, the band is now a solo project. The concept, music and songs remain the same, it’s just that I have to finish everything from top to bottom to get them released!
Hope 2009 becomes as fruitful as we all want it to be!
