How are things?
Project Alpha ( actually that's me) has started to bring out work. The first reviews were encouraging but the project is looking for more feedback. Hence I post this message here as well to ask you all to take a moment and go listen and give your opinion/feedback.
My question is also in what style this music should be fitted, is it modern day jazz, fusion, funk, lounge, new age or what?
I'm a bassplayer originally but in this project I play all instruments one can hear so far, record and produce all things myself, no samples used in the music.Accept maybe a drum machine which I programmed myself, played the pattern in live so to speak.As said I'm a bassplayer originally and not a real solo player on keyboard for excample and I find there is room for that still in my work. Trombone maybe in the first piece.Mainly I try to create a certain atmosphere in my songs rather than make a pop song kind of thing. I think I still have to learn much so any help is welcome.
If you are interested please go and listen at:http://www.radioindy.com/jamroom/bands/1054/music.php
I put three pieces there.The top one called Soaring Eagle I just finished recently.Since response is quite good I'm looking for exposure to, any ideas how I might be able to realize that? I'm quite new at this ye know.
Thanks in advance and with kind regards, Project Alpha. :mrgreen:

I was hoping the first song was a rendition of John Ashcroft's "Let the Mighty Eagle Soar". -- Shakey Mo Collier (audiobo...), August 23rd, 2005.

No, no, young Master, emotion you're showing. You'll never feel the Force that way.
Geezz man it's just a lame title for a thread. Relax, dude.

Ummm. Okay. I will venture so far as to say that there conceivably exists a perspective from which one may enjoy this music.
You probably won't find many fans on this board. There's not much Sting and Weather Report love around these parts. But this doesn't mean you won't find grateful listeners elsewhere, so, you know, godspeed.

i found the best parts were reminiscent of a more polished larry heard, or perhaps a less rhythmic paul hardcastle or james mason.
are you familiar w/ these artists?
― vahid (vahid), Thursday, 25 August 2005 03:12 (twenty years ago)
Lol!! Well I'll take that perspective as a possibility that there might be a compliment hidden in there somewhere, thanks :-)
That there will probably not many fans here I gathered, thanks, what kind of place is this anyway???Still couldn't quite figure it out yet.Not much Sting and Weather Report, okay....so you do know them but you're no fan Joseph?
Thanks for the answer man.With kind regards, P-Alpha.

Thanks very much!!!
At least one here, lol!!
I do know Dave Mason, I even bought a record or two from him way, way back. The other two don't ring a bell.
congratulations on your jazzy electronica!i found the best parts were reminiscent of a more polished larry heard, or perhaps a less rhythmic paul hardcastle or james mason.
