I started with a Bontempi when I was 7. Then a piano. And I've never stopped till 16y.o. I was a semi-pro and I used to arrange and produce music for other artists. I studied everything was possible from music theory to studio recording. I was "nothing but my keyboards". Then, as usually happens in the best families, my parents decided for me my path. So I closed my instruments for years.
Piano, Organ, Synths, Guitar, Bass, Trump and Saxophone.
Garage Band, Launchpad, Groovebox, Blocs Wave, Ableton,
I still have a copy of Cubase and my Atari Mega 4.
Yamaha SY77, TG100, Korg 01W, Wavestation A/D, Akay S1100, Roland G600, Roland D70, Fatar studio 88+, Alesis Midiverb4, Atari Mega4, Ibanez and Jackson Electric Guitars, Boss overdrive, delay, chorus, Marshall Amplifier, Schimmel T130 piano, Kenwood vintage Valves amplifier, several speakers, mixers, mics and some other lovely garbage I still have.... included Party lights, Fog Machine and a Disco ball! LoL
.... In the past.
Now I just have the time to plug a Behringer UMX25 and use some Free App and VST with debatable results due to lack of time ....and KEYS: how the f... I passed from a skyscraper of keyboards to a sad "25 keys situation"?!
I'm not Cpt. Hook! :) I've just ordered a 61k semi-weighted keyboard.
Shame on M-Audio that discontinued the drivers of my audio interface.
From Mozart to Astor Piazzolla, from Keith Emerson and Chick Korea to Weather Report, passing by Bob Marley, Pink Floyd (+Syd Barret), Phil Collins and Genesis, Giorgio Moroder, Jean Michelle Jarre, Squallor, Guns&Roses, Duran Duran, Michael Jackson, Stevie Wonder, Madonna, Vasco Rossi, Lucio Dalla, Marilyn Manson, Gigi D'Agostino, Will.i.m., David Guetta, Avicii, and Skrillex!
There's a different soundtrack for every breath of our life. Sometimes I'm a Mozart enthusiast. Some day I get up more "Bangarang". If you cannot find the right one, just sit at the piano and let your fingers go.
Did you ever listen to the synthesizers' presets? I wasted a part of my life doing this.
and a little bit of everything I listen to
For sure my lines tend (struggle) to remember what I used to play with the bands: Blues, Soul, Funky, Fusion. But I don't practice since years. I would like to spend a day and a night on two single measures of Chick Korea. But I just have time for few notes once in a while.
But since here there's everything, maybe a day I will upload something.
I'm under autopilot. I don't know.
Sometimes life sucks: I'm here just thanks to the Coronavirus' Lockdown! Very sad!
