ME, and why? Because if You do not believe in You then how will people believe in You? Carl Czerny, an Austrian composer, this guy has helped a lot--and he has not lived for over 200 years! 432.00 Hz, Sister Paweenut W. Nichakorn W., Dreaming in color, all kinds of chords, Minor Key chord progressions, the musical notes and tones I hear in my head on a constant basis and a good rhythm section with the bass and the drums not overpowering each other then (you can) solo over that. Cats! Vegetarian Cooking, Raw Vegetables, Fruits, Soy Ice Cream and Knowing That I Am Loved, KORG Keyboards and gear.
Yeah, Hello...I am Christopher White I have been playing music for years and would rather be original than just another cookie cutter musician or artist. It all started in junior high when I played the tenor sax. Although Mom played music when I was inside of Her many years ago. So maybe that is the reason why I hear notes in My Head so much. While in high school those Keyboard Chops were not so good but I managed to play in a band even though The Skills were not that great. I left the senior high school performing band for reasons I would rather not go into right here. Tried with all my might to be in a "real band" but too many clashing musical directions and other dynamics had Me giving up on that. Not to mention that synths and drum machines do not get tired, have drug problems, or some ulterior reason for playing music and You do not have to ask them to practice just a little longer I saw making music that way a lot more easier I guess. In the years of 1990-1991 armed with two Roland TR-505 (1 borrowed from Bass Nugget) drum machines and a Korg Poly 800 (that I bought with some blown circuitry in it and had repaired) and a Roland PR 800 that was spread on the floor in the room in South Seattle I got down to making music electronically. Yeah, just like I remember buying a Yamaha outboard sequencer and had the ability to overdub and putting the Roland PR 800 up somewhere. I made a lot of noise with that keyboard and neighbors had really no reservations about letting Me know this too. I remember the days of storing sounds on cassette (and then trying to recall them only to find out they are lost) and step sequencers that could hold a very comical number of notes with what is out these days. However, with the gear out these days I did not let that deter Me. I knew the gear was not all that and a bag of chips. By the end of 1991 I had acquired the Yamaha V-50 with its eight tracks and a variety of drum sounds. This synth would be the foundation of the Synth Rock or this sound I have just about spoiled Myself with as We know it today. However, around this time a particular synth company (called KORG) had just released a music workstation that was changing the world of electronic music or music that was conceived on a music workstation. It would require going back to My Roots and brand loyalty and a large sum of money... So on with the Yamaha V-50, Me and that synth would become close friends and some good material would come out of it. Even though that was the case, by 1994 I changed over to the Korg X3 which was a major step up with its crystal-clear sounds, 16 tracks and other features such as remembering what was in the sequencer if there was a power failure... That was a needed bonus because the Yamaha V50 had a proclivity to switch off and on and whatever was there was gone. That Korg X3 shaped that signature sound that I had spoiled Myself with even more and music was still being stored on 3.5 floppy disks. I was always terrified to oblivion with any magnetic source that would come in a certain radius of those disks and any person who remembers that storage medium would understand my fear of magnetic sources. Well, I just could not stay put because there was a new synth out on the market (once again from KORG) and this one would see the most action and shape that sound so much that when I overhauled the foundation of the Sound I would find Myself more frustrated than accomplished. This in turn would have Me calling that company and asking why change sound engines so much... And why was it not able to carry over certain sounds without sampling a lot of those sounds too. Well playing keyboards and doing what a lot of electronic musicians do can be somewhat expensive and You can easily find Yourself antiquated in sounds that You have no choice but to update the foundation of Your Sound. That synth cost Me over 3000 dollars! Complete with its slow processor and touch view screen. By early 2005 I amazed Myself by acquiring that Korg Triton Extreme (and also making back from OIF 2) but that Kingdom of Sound was reduced to a mere vassal state. All My Synths were not in one place because I was on the road a lot. However, good equipment does not just make a person sound good. To sound good You have to stay up many hours and hours practicing dead people’s music and learning how to make the best of the equipment You have. Also, going to school for this helps but I know many people who have taught themselves how to play more than one instrument. No one just has rhythm because of a color of one’s skin; that comes from practice. PRACTICE! No sampling! No biting the funk! Even before I had begun to enjoy the features of that synthstarship the Korg M3 was added. Complete with its lightning fast processor and the ability to do things all the other ones just could not. So here it is... Real Rock from the Rock!
