I have added an update to the song Jazzmine Revolution, because I felt it wasn’t quite right. I made some changes between 2:10 and 2:20. I don’t blame you if you don’t notice the difference at first, but the change gives the second part of the song a more natural flow.
You can tell apart the old version from the new version in that the old version’s file name is jazzmine.mp3 and the new version is jazzmine-revolution.mp3.
I’m working to get my new track on music streaming sites like Spotify and iTunes. If I can get my end of the process done next week, then it will be another 5 weeks for Spotify to be able to list my song on their site, so the song’s release date will be some 6 weeks from now, IF I hit no snags.
———–
Update, Aug 23th: it seems I uploaded the wrong file (yeah..I know….). Forget about the file jazzmine-revolution.mp3, the correct version is JazzmineRevolution.mp3.

Free…I like free. I want the people in the Middle-East and North-Africa to be free. I want everybody to be free. Economically, free means something different, in the English language. It means that you don’t pay for something, like air, or sunshine. On the Internet free has been important. Microsoft got a foothold in the [...]

My new song is titled Time Goes On. I drew upon similar resources as in Your Dreams and You Said with the difference that Time Goes On is 9 minutes long. Previously I didn’t have the confidence to move beyond 4 or 5 minutes and would end a song at the first opportunity. Time Goes [...]

You Said is an ode to guitar rock. During the 1980s I was a fan of guitar bands like Dire Straits, U2, Simple Minds and The Stones, but then, at some point, guitar rock became so predictable and retro that I switched to House music, until in pure desperation I switched to classical music, mid-90s. [...]

Ok, so this track is a little unorthodox, as I always try to push my envelope. In my opinion it’s an artist’s obligation to be unorthodox (while making art, that is) because art is, or can be, escapism. In the visual arts you can work towards realism, but even there art is only interesting, in [...]

Requiem for Batman is a hommage to Batman (March 6 2000 – April 21 2006). I’ve made a habit out of alternating songs with drums and pop vocals with songs that are based on Vocaloid and result in a mix of classical music and jazz. The classical angle is due to listening to classical music [...]

My new song is called Come Home and is based on a sample DVD that has many short clips of vocals. So if the vocals sound familiar, it’s because many people have used them, but the song as a whole is still what the composer makes it. All in all, using vocal samples is much [...]

I told you I’m into Vocaloid, the singing computer. Today’s track is a song based on Vocaloid, in the sense that it inspired me to write some music I would never write without it, even if I had a real singer. It’s a simple song, in that it consists of a bass, keyboard and a [...]

I have used computers since 1980 and samples since 1990, but the most impressive piece of music related technology I’ve ever laid my hands on is Vocaloid. As a software instrument it’s still in the infancy of its development, because the text-to-speech aspect still leaves something to be desired in comparison with reality, so it [...]

Mi Fortuna is the title of my new track. I’m not sure what it means, but I don’t think it’s dirty. I downloaded a sample CD and on it someone kept saying “mi fortuna” (I think) and I incorporated that sound clip into my song. It’s got four more samples from that CD, all vocals, [...]
