I am a musician, but I don't play an instrument, I only play the computer. If that is an instrument. Perhaps it is.
I'm a skinny white guy from Chicago. Thirty something...
One day, When I was a young boy, my ‘flowerchild’ mom came into my room with a huge box full of 45's. The box bursted with music from the 50's to the 70's. Thank You Mom! I played them all MORE than the kid in 'Almost Famous'.
As my musical taste ripened, I settled on staples like Fleetwood Mac. Even today, their same ten songs tickle me. Amazing power.
There is a sweetness to violins introduced into rock music, and I am particularly attracted to bands like ELO, and southern rock styles like
the Allman Brothers. There continues today many 1000's of phases, this week I am actually stuck on vintage Joni Mitchell; last week, Angel.
Mystical rock, that's what I crave. Music has to touch my soul. I guess the sadder, darker music is actually stronger. Perhaps because I have felt the extreme darker emotions more than the brighter.
In any event, the 'music' must touch me first. Lyrics are a bonus, if they fit.
60's, 70's, 80's music style, is the way that I write; and the way that I want to write. There is more to be explored there.
If music is a language, then the first task is: "what to say?"
Then figure out how to say it. Then decide, who or what will say it for you. For me, the 'computer interpreter' has a lousy accent, however, it gets the job done.
The real fantasy for me, is a computer that can "read" the chords that I play in my brain, in real-time. Of course this, may not happen in my lifetime.
My songs are Not presented as "complete". They are presented as computer output, in "the raw".
They are meant to be a "Base" for an accomplished composer.
Hopefully, I can prove to 'someone' that I am capable of writing a Base 'score' or 'jingle', or a 'soundtrack' for their project.
At this particular website, the goal is exposure and feedback.
The Main Goal is Profit. These arrangements came from my soul. So, a piece of me goes with them. That 'piece' is not free.
These arrangements are published.
These arrangements are for sale, please contact me through this website for more information, or at the following email address: pcmedicworld AT gmail DOT com
