New Songs, of a Different Style

8/19/2016

We just dropped two new tracks, Shari Smiles and Island Sound.  These feature a different style than our others!

These have a pop style, possible for to do since we have upgraded our studio capabilities for vocals.  Shari Smiles is a remake of an old song I wrote nearly 15 years ago, so it has an old-school pop sound.  Island Sound is a brand-new song with a brand-new sound for us.  We hope you listen and enjoy.

I was influenced by Kraftwerk in my early years and it is cool to hear that my current work is reminding other listeners of that sound.

How Creating Dubstep Music is like a Video Game

5/19/2016

​To me, creating dubstep/EDM music using a software program feels a lot like playing a computer game.  Do you want to play, too?  

The object of the game is creating a soundtrack for a particular scene I envision in my mind.  But until I have created the music, I don't know what the scene will "look like"! 

Playing the game therefore doesn't really involve "creating" music as much as it does "finding" music and its associated "visual"  scene (as "seen" in my mind's eye).  For me personally, the scene often ends up being a natural landscape of some exotic faraway place, but for you it can be any sort of scene you enjoy, and get a good feeling from experiencing.  

Starting with a basic drum pattern,  points" are "scored" in the game by adding more and more notes to fill out the music, while always diligently preserving a matchup between the feeling of the music and the feeling of the scene.  It is fun and challenging because I really don't know what scene I will end up "viewing" until I have finished creating the music for it!  Sort of like the proverbial chicken-or-egg situation, the scene and music simply must be created together.

As I add more and more notes to the music I am creating, the scene I am envisioning becomes more and more definite, and therefore it progressively gets more and more obvious which new notes are or aren't wrong.  The further I go, the fewer "right" notes remain to be found, so it gets harder toward the end  At a certain point, when it seems that all new notes are "wrong" I know that I'm nearly finished; at that point I stop searching and just make tiny adjustments to clarify the scene I have discovered already.  

Then I just listen to my song, and enjoy the experience of the scene I have created .  To me, the process doesn't feel like work at all, any more than playing a video game does; it is all just fun.

 Try it yourself!

Our new one "Shadows of My Life" was just dropped; check it out if you haven't already.

With this one the band is really getting familiar with our new Reason software.  This is just the second track we've produced using Reason and we think you will clearly hear the continuing improvement as we better learn the ins and outs of today's music-creation tools.   We are adding more vocals  to our sound, as you'll notice, to make our sound that much more recognizable and relate-able.

The song "Shadows of My Life" is a self-commenting composition, asking the musical question, "What is real, anyway?"  It was composed in the midst of friendly  debates about how the music industry, and life in general, has changed so very much in recent years.   What do you think?

Hello and Welcome!

Welcome, fans and friends!  
After stepping away from music for a few years, I'm back and more excited than ever.  The reason I'm so excited is that I finally discovered the cool world of dubstep and EDM music and my life hasn't been the same since.  Honestly, as recently as January of 2016 I didn't even know what the word "dubstep" meant!  But as soon as I heard some heavy dubstep, I knew this was the kind of music I've been hearing inside my head all my life -- and now that technology has caught up, at last  I can really share it with you!

Neutrino Shield's first 6 songs were produced almost entirely with just a $39 program called DUBTurbo.  Now we have updated our studio to the next level, so you can look forward some even better music, featuring more of our own vocals.  Hopefully you are as excited as we are about the future of Neuitrino Shield and will follow our progress.  Thanks for visiting our page!
