The first time (or second , can not remember ) I started to make music with digital tools was in 2003 (2004 ? Damn memory). They were my first steps, well before betterwithmusic adventure, before focusing on image / sound and background music. While I still expected to be a pop star, do world tours and to be on the lists of the best music of the year.
All happened with the occasion of a new musical talent contest. I downloaded Anvil Studio, a free music editor, and started the adventure. Logically, with a mouse, a seedy PC mic and the computer’s keyboard as instruments was quite difficult to get anything. GM sounds not really helping either. That’s why I got to work with samples, to scape of tinny sounds. Samples and a lot of sound effects. Things began to improve but believe me, was not easy of the lack of tools.
After many hours (and too much patience) I got a handful of remixes and songs that could be presented with dignity. Or so I thought at the time.
I recovered those songs and I think it’s time to make them public.
There was one more. Rachmaninov, Stevie Wonder, trip hop and traditional Asturian sounds for a tune already recovered for Fruela 757, one of my alter egos:
The answer is No. I did not win that contest.
