New Music Release Uzun Havalar by Anadol Anadol's third album, Uzun Havalar, recorded on tape by Kinship Records, is now available online and cassette format.  Uzun Havalar by Anadol Recorded and mixed in 2015 the album is built around three long synth tracks referring to the improvised unmetric folk songs “ uzun hava ” in middle eastern music.  You can hear drummers laughing and playing guitars, composers howling, screaming, record collectors playing synths, actors mumbling and tuning in to the geography of Anadol's synth compositions.  Anadol is a traditional continuation of lone synth experimentalists like Bruce Haack and The Space Lady with their childlike curiosity for electronic sounds, pushing the boundaries of minimal equipment. Composed, performed, recorded, produced and mixed by Anadol at Tempelhof Studios 2015. Mastering by Martin Bartscher.  Görünmez Hava  Voice: Suphi Sökücü  Additional Synthesizers: Emir Özer...

NMR Artist Spotlight: Electronica Artist Dmitriy Nelepin Album Planet X ABOUT DMITRIY NELEPIN When he was young he was very fond of the Rockets band and it inspired him to start making music. In his music, he uses synthesizers but dose not just take templates and makes his own sound. Therefore his music is different from the others and makes his music extraordinary. Dmitriy plans to release another music album next year. I will attach his photos. If you have any questions feel free to ask them.   The album will be called "The Universe". Most of the songs will be about the cosmos. The fact that the Cosmos is very majestic and beautiful. And we humans are part of this universe but we forgot about it. 

NMR Artist Spotlight: The Blue Hour  The Blue Hour blends dream pop, synth wave, and industrial with hints of psychedelia, folk, and electronica to create hauntingly beautiful songs, focusing on texture and rhythm and discord ... and magic. What inspires your music? What is your story? The Blue Hour’s new album, “Always,” is a tale of romance and loss and finding magic in the most unexpected places. It is Marselle and my story. She and I met many years ago as teenagers. She was homeless, living on the streets of Seattle. I soon followed. We drifted from the glitz of dance clubs to the squalor of abandoned houses, sleeping in door stoops, church yards, or curled on a hot-air vent in the shadow of a grand gothic building on the university campus. And the whole time Marselle sang, filling those neglected spaces with an ethereal beauty, singing Kate Bush or Nina Hagen note-perfect. It wasn’t desperate however. Everywhere we went, we created a fantastic world. Even th...

Sometimes it's as simply as fixing a few instruments, sometimes it's a total overhaul. Avoid these on your next mix.  Affordable Music Coaching at MusicXray 1. Lack of music variety One of the composition projects I am working on right now deals with creating a few dozen short musical snippets. Nice little music ditties that fit snugly behind dialogue. As I am composing, I listen to the tracks for any sound that seems to stand out inordinately from the mix. I am not talking about solos, drum fills, or riffs. I am talking about a walking bass line that seems to plod, the string patch that sounds okay for two seconds, then gets blase', the drum beat that is nauseatingly redundant, or the synth pad that seems to swallow up the bottom end of the track. Solution? After recording or MIDI inputting...
