INFINITE CHANCE (March 2022) “I set out to use my voice in unorthodox ways on this album​.​” Grooves, solo​’​s, atmospheric sounds, pitch altering harmonies and effects create a sound art experience. Rhythmic, highly melodic, progressive with free jazz overtones. Mixed specifically for h / phones.

🟨 H / PHONES PLEASE ! I’ve mixed specifically for them ! A good pair of overheads will pay dividends, these are complex mixes. I’d like you to hear the tracks as I do here in the studio. (I mixed these tracks with Sennheiser HD599’s)

I recommend listening to the album in running order as shown with above average volume. I channel compress only
and apply no final limiter at mixdown to retain as much of the original dynamics as I can. You may need to turn the volume up
a little more than usual. It does make a significant difference to this work.

🟩 This music is 1st - take improvised !
If you find the album unfathomable that’s probably because it’s jazz (done my way lol) Complaints to …..
My music is highly original with minimal influences yet during the process of creating I often have an album or 2
from the past quite randomly in my head .. for this venture : Lizard by King Crimson (Side 1)

🟪 NOTES
Organ solo on 01 with Yamaha reface ‘toy’ lol organ.
Much of the initial prep work I improvised with Deepmind, Neutron and Model D synthesisers.
My vocals are mainly through a Roland harmoniser, Electroharmonix vocoder, Eventide QVox.
Saxophone work with Geo Sax app together with Waves H delay (what an amazing plug in … so analog!)
Gipsy girl (circ. 1998/01 re-imagined 24–03-22) featuring Moog Taurus bass pedals from AniMoogZ app.

🟦 INFINITE CHANCE sessions recorded to 8 track Tascam recorders then bounced to Cubasis3 on iPad for post production / mixdown.
