I'm recording 13 tracks to what will be an independent, self-produced CD... On one of the tracks, it will be just keys and voice. Everything else will be more "Christian Rock" oriented, except for one song that I wrote for my wedding - it will feature the dreaded DX7-style EP sounds from the Fusion.  Anyway, this is the track that will not have drums or guitars... and right now it doesn't have vocals either. I mix low and this is unmastered as of yet, and not properly mixed yet either, but I thought I'd post something here just so you guys could hear some Fusion sounds... featuring Nebulae heavily www.soundclick.com/ChristianSchulzeCheers Christian |

Oh and the track is called My Beloved... there's another unfinished track in there as well that's just Fusion and drums right now, and will have vocals, bass and guitar added to it...

I got married in 2006  At the time, I hired a pianist, a guy to play sax and a lady to play the violin. The sax guy is a maestro and he did an arrangement of this song. I also had a lady friend of ours that sang the song as my wife walked in. The rest of the time before that, for some 10 minutes, while everybody walked in, they played an instrumental arrangement of it, the one the sax guy wrote. It was rather nice! I'll have to post that song eventually... though I'm sure it means more to me and my wife than it will to everybody else... lol... |

I did the music for my wedding, as well, only it was far more primitive. The church I was married in was a small backwoods country church that only had a pump organ! The church itself didn't even have anyone to play it. Rather than hire an accordionist  as was suggested, I took a two track reel-to-reel, plugged my Moog into it, and did a fairly passable rendition of Mendelssohn march, sort of ala Carlos. It was kinda funny, because I threw a little syncopated fanfare into B section and it kept throwing my "father-in-law to be" off and he would misstep almost every time! Anyway, sorry to derail your thread. Just some senile meanderings... |

Funny. I wrote my wife a song for our wedding but I recorded the music to a CD. When I should have been getting dressed for the wedding I was in the studio laying down the music from scratch with no sequencer. So you can tell my playing was a little of beat at times but that was okay because my singing was a little off too. Plus nobody even noticed. Man, I thought I was doing something unique by singing for my wife on our wedding day. Guess not.(smile)

I wrote the fanfare for my wife to enter the church to. Mind you that was a while ago (over 25 years) They even had a piece in the local paper about it. For our 20th anniversary I wrote her a song "Together on the Shores of Time" For our 25th we were in Australia and I was away from the studio... And I think I was a bit drunk too |

I like this type of music hope to hear the track when it's finished .Coldplay would just sing over the top to make it a hit!
My Beloved is fine as it is do you have anymore?I'd be interested to know what sounds you used from the fusion.

It's mostly Nebulae (with some tweaks) and the KPR Grand Piano (with tweaking also). The strings are a patch made with a combination of internal waveforms - a short marcato sample at the beginning, followed by a "slow string" sample that comes in right after. That way I have a nice string patch that is delicate but has some initial attack as well. My Beloved does sound alright as it is, I'm almost afraid to add the vocal tracks I hope none of my stuff will sound too much like Coldplay, and my voice is very different anyway. Hopefully it will still sound good. And thanks for the kind words, gen I do have 12 other tracks I'm working on, some don't have as much synth sounds up front though... |
