I finally got some time left over for some sequencing and I created this WARM LOOP for now - we’ll see if it evolves into a full length track. Any comments on this? Boring? Good? Bad? Ugly? Nice? =) I’m trying to make up my own mind about it too.

Today I’ve been working on some new trance and creating some new trance drum banks. There are surprisingly few good drum kits out there for dedicated trance in my opinion and it’s a bout time I created a new bank. I’ll probably release the samples on the web site later.

 I have also uploaded all my tracks in the lossless FLAC format to Tunecore, but I haven’t yet paid the fees (about $50) to publish the tracks onto iTunes etc. I am currently investigating how much exposure this will actually give me as I have a feeling that ‘unknown’ artists such as Imphenzia will never see the light of day on a site such as iTunes due to poor functionality for filtering and displaying music etc. I’ll probably still test this method on the album Illusion just to see what the effect is.

Today I received an e-mail from a listener at Soundclick who mentioned TuneCore.com - a site that I’ve just signed up with Imphenzia. This will enable me to get tracks and albums into iTunes and similar sites so it’ll be interesting to see if Imphenzia get get a footprint there. I have yet to create the albums and upload the tracks but I’ll keep you posted. Thanks to Joel from the psy label psypneumatix for this tip! 

Been very busy the past couple of weeks so not much to report on the Imphenzia front. But have a look at this fan-video of State of Confusion meanwhile

After over a week of solid work put into the new web sites I launched up the sequencer today to see if I could get anywhere with a potential track and all I came up with was this: mp3 file.

Not too happy with that and I’ve learned something over the years, if it doesn’t click straight away and inspiration comes flowing once you start working on a track - just leave it for the time being. It isn’t possible to imagine creativity and it has to come naturally. I’ll close down the sequencer for tonight and head off for the gym. I’ll be listening to some trance during my gym session so maybe I get some ideas there, you never know.
