I am fairly serious about creating, making and producing music via the Pc and various bits and bobs. I have recently been making sort of big beat and Gorillaz style type stuff. I am itching to bring back the piano tune vibe back to tunes, not just replicating the classic asha type sound but moving it on in to 2002. It is reasonably easy to get the same quality of sound (even without sampling) with my PC/Keyboard and music software (mainly reason, cubase, reaktor etc etc)

I am interested in collabing with like minded people who loved the north west music scene between 88-92 but want to bring this genre up to date. I'm sure a project can be done mainly on line and via exchange of e mail/cd etc.

If youre into this idea let me know, and hopefully we can publish the result on this web site.

Cheers

I dont really remix stuff, but make music from scratch, ie live playing, beat progging etc, I do love that airport 89 track though and could make a track with the main theme in mind perhaps, I too dont really like trance so would keep the original flava, can anyone tell me where i can get the wood allen track from?

Another Reason user on the board! :D. Theres a few of us on here I think which attempt to make or recreate piano classics, myself included. Everybody here seems better than me though, bugger. And Ive been doing it patchily for a few years!.
The trouble is finding the time, I surf the board here whilst Im doing other stuff that has to be done. Ive got a dual boot compy with Me and 2000 server - I cant get the internet working right on Me, but most of my old fave audio apps dont always install on 2000!. Reason and Cool Edit seem ok though. Im a bit of a Sonar head though and most recently getting mi noggin' round Reasons awesomeness!!.
I Cant say Im the most 'creative' person when it comes to music either, its mostly learning other folks's stuff (sort of attemting it anyway) so I dont think I would be a good candidate in that respect. Arranging/EQ/mixing skills are non existant at the minute as I dont know where to start. :). It takes me absolutely ages just to get a bit decent, quater finished tune done........So Gaz may be your man here.

You're right about Reason. Its the best all in one thing for making dance music I have ever seen, it sounds fantastic - even before you delve into routing and stuff like that(I havent).
I dont know about creating any sound though. Those hardcore ''marzipanny'' (!) gritty synth noises of 91/92 are way beyond my tweaking capabilities.
I hear theres another huge release by them which is going to blow us away - whether its a hardware controller or a new package I dont know...........


see ya laterz,

Sirius.
