New Album: Synthesizers and Drums

 

As the title suggests, this is an album of synthesizers and drums. These are my two favorite instruments, so it is only natural they should be together on an entire release. There's some guitars and basses here and there as well, but the dominant sounds are synths and drums.

People have told me before that my music sounds sci-fi. At first I wasn't really sure what they meant, but now I think they mean lots of synths with odd time signatures and an almost soundtrack to old 80s sci-fi movie vibe. If that is what you are looking for, then this album has it 10 fold!

This is a really epic release in being around an hour and 20 minutes long, you will definitely get your money's worth. I spent a lot of time on the mix of these songs and really think the drums and production are some of my best to date!

I hope you enjoy it!

Bonzoleum is doing a drum clinic in Lancaster, PA

If you’re a fan of Paiste cymbals and been on youtube, chances are you’ve seen Bonzoleum’s Channel. He’s a John Bonham nut and a charismatic weirdo who I never get tired of watching. I mean that in the nicest possible way too, since in a world this mad, only the weirdos are the good people.

Anyway, if you’re in the Lancaster area, go check him out.  If not, check out his youtube channel, it’s very entertaining.

Anika Nilles - Mister [first single from new LP, Pikalar]

Anika Nilles just posted her first single off the new album, Pikalar and it is pretty damn good. Don’t worry drummers, she didn’t tame down the playing at all. There’s some completely insane fills in there as well as some very interesting time changes. Her snare sound keeps getting deeper, and though this isn’t my favorite type of sound, she makes it work. Great video and her facial experssions are pretty great. Check it out and get the new album, I just got it on google play, getting ready to listen as I write this!
