Someone who doesn't care much for current trends and plays what he truly feels inside.
J'ai commencé a m'intéresser a la guitare vers l'age de 12 ans, j'avais un oncle qui s'amusait a jouer dans les réunions de famille et cela a su captiver mon attention.
J'ai par la suite commencé a dévouvrir une multitude de groupes Rock des années 70 par l'entremise de quelques uns de mes cousins plus vieux que moi et leurs vieux 33 tours en vinyl.
J'ai fondé et/ou participé a plusieurs projets de groupes rock par le passé.
Je fais maintenant ma musique en solitaire, c'est une expérience tres enrichissante pour moi quoique tres différente d'une dynamique de groupe ou de duo.
Mes inspirations me viennent surtout de l'observation de la nature, le vent, la pluie, le soleil, la terre, les animaux, les arbres, tout les esprits visibles ou invisibles qui peuplent notre monde.
Tout les instruments entendus dans mes pieces sont composés et joué par moi, mis a part les pistes de percussion et batteries qui ont été agencées a partir d'échantillons de type "loops".
"J'essaie de réaliser des toiles mais avec des ambiances sonores."
"J'ai de nombreuses compositions et cela dans plusieurs styles différents, alors je compte faire de fréquents changements dans mes sélections afin de vous présenter une plus grande étendue de mon repertoire personnel, revisitez moi donc souvent si vous souhaitez découvrir mes nouveautés"
"What im trying to do with my music are paintings, but only with sounds."
"Hello dear visitor!
Let me start by telling you i have been messing around and playing guitars for over 25 years now."
"I have a lot of original compositions in various styles, so i intend to frequently change my player's list, visit me often if you wish to listen to my new music compositions."
I am not following any current trends, I think the medias are more often than not offering us the same old polished commercial stuff and it all sounds the same to my ears.
So I am trying to create things in a very personal way, for people like me who are usually bored by the usual commercial stuff and are willing to go for something radically different.
I sing and play all of the instruments on my songs except for the drum parts which come from: Drums on Demand
I also record, mix and arrange everything myself using this amazing software: Acoustica Mixcraft 3
Check out good friend Shelly Ryan, i dont thing she even needs to be introduced, but if you dont know about her marvelous sense of humor already, you should!
Snuck on my daughters pc while she is sleeping and I am loving your page!!!! Love the background but the SONGS are The Best!!!!!!!!!!! Loving it Stef!!!!!! Bought a new pc just have to get another monitor for it and I will be good to go (or at least I am hopeful) Hope you have a fantastic weekend!!!! Love Ya! Jan ;)xoxo
Stephane, Hope all is going well for you... Listened to your tunes and really like "Life is a Mystery"... "Deceiver" has some really nice passages...you are very talented!
In regard to some recent exchanges of yours: I keep looking at the ridiculously ... sometimes "suspiciously" ... high traffic of others in terms of "plays" and whatnot and casually compare it to my maximum daily playcount (I think I hit eight once), but I don't focus on it because it's not why I am here doing what I do.
It's all meaningless math anyway; you can't let arbitrary numbers try dictate your musical "worth", as you put it. The moment we allow that we become part of the collective, the lowest common denominator. To be honest sometimes I sit here and wonder why I bother with it myself.
To draw an analogy, I spent a lot of time and effort (not to mention a significant chunk of cash money) to produce "Navigation". I can honestly say in all humility that it is an exceptional piece of music in its genre. It was an event for me, this unveiling, and what's more is it is the only new song I'd released in two years.
I've got 1600 or so "friends" here now in this MySpace "theater", almost all of whom have told me that they love my music at one point or another. There I stood behind a metaphorical curtain, nervously trying not to sweat through my figurative tuxedo. The curtain opened and with a flourish I exclaimed "Voila!"
... to the enthusiastic applause of about 30 people. The rest of the 1500+ in the "theater" just sat there texting each other and talking quietly amongst themselves.
"What did you do?" you might well ask. I bowed in deep appreciation to those few that stood clapping, shrugged, and left the stage to begin working on my next piece of music.
As of right now "Navigation" has been played a total of 52 times on MySpace so it's probably a good thing I don't let it impact my self-esteem. It's disheartening enough as it is. I've not sold a single download of it, not one, and I would have to sell approximately 400 downloads of it at SNOCAP to break even; obviously financial gain is not a major factor for me here and now.
"So why bother?" In the final analysis, I do it for myself because I think it's worthwhile in of itself.
Hang in there, my brother. Don't let the bastards get you down.
Released at the end of this week.....you can order it by going to http://www.sheedyfrost.co.uk and going to the store!
Have a great week!
Paul and Vincent!
Hi Stef. I just got back a short while ago from performing some big band jazz at the college. I wanted you to know that I took the opportunity to listen to the newer tracks on your page, back-to-back: "Alien Merkabah", "Lighthouse (Live 2005)" and "Deceiver". I enjoyed them all very much but will have to forego leaving any comments more specific than that right now because I am simply too tired and am going to bed. My alarm goes off pretty early in the morning tomorrow and I've still got things that I have to take care of around here. :-)
still tired but much better xx
