Artist description Currently it is just me doing electronic music. I make music with synthesizers. I am not a professionalmusician, I am just doing music for fun.My main principles are:* Each sound used in a song *must* sound great.* The song must have a melody.* The melody should sound good.* The song must not be tied to any style if itmakes it sound worse.* The song recording must have a full frequency range andit should sound great on home theater systems.Dolby Pro Logic compatibility should be always verified.All songs are monitored through a decent home theaterin addition to a pair of good headphones. I woulddo also discrete multichannel mixes from my songs ifI would have a proper equipment for that. Maybe I'lldo it in the future, if I get enough payback earningsto be able to purchase some new equipment.* I prefer playing over sequencing. Usually evenno quantization is used. I usually don't program any music unlike it seems tobe with the techno-acid-people, I just play it.* I express my emotions through my music. If I amhappy, the song sounds happy. If I am sad, the songsounds sad.* Compositions are based to my intuition, not to a musical background (or lack of it).

Press Reviews TrueDreams 6 review by Bassic: Listening now... nice arp intro - very nice, chord progressions lovely... The drums are stiff and dry and I don't want them in my face...... choirs come in now - nice... I would love to hear some more bass (and less ump ump drums).Transition with melody now - great lead sound. Melody is cool, but played a little too mechanically - quantizing everything? Try playing it live to get more life.... Oooh arpeggio break beautiful! The drums work better here now, they are not in my face anymore. Well done! Nice track, should be something you can license in the future (websites, CD-ROM's etc). TrueDreams 6 review by Fin:Phew what a title! :o) Arpeggiator city! I bet Sayer likes that :o) That little sinewave arpeggio going in the background is excellent, I really like to use that technique also.I really like that shift to a major chord that appears during the track, very Jarre-progression'ish (good word huh?) The section that starts at 3:15 is definitely my favourite area of the track.I felt that there needed to be a break during the track, I started to suffer from bpm sickness. It would be nice to have a section in there just like the ending is with very subtle arppegios, just like you sinewave arpeggio from elsewhere in the track. But hey! It's easy to be a critic! :o) It'd be great to get you music onto crystal clear recordings. Once again an amazing amount of sound considering the equipment you areusing, a tribute to writing and arranging talent! Best regards . Fin TrueDreams 6 comments by Juan Avila: And...what can I say of Truedreams 6? Simply wild arp! TrueDreams 3 review by Fin: Real-time comments:Rendezvous. This theme is very bouncy isn't it?That little percussion sound every 4 bars, where have I heard that before?The LFO sound is a bit in-yer-face compared to the rest of the mix.I can't tell where this middle section is going? Ahh... lovely sweep up to the key.This reminds me now of a Nintendo 64 game... A nice happy game.I can here alsorts of really nice ideas in here, they're just not being let out.OH! It ended!After comments:Ok, well. This has all the makings of a great synth track. The begining starts of nice and happy. i don't like the sampled voice at the begining, it sounds like I'm being welcomed to a theme park.The LFO wobbly sound is a bit over the top for me. Right that's the moaning out of the way.The themes in this track are very powerful, the structure of the track is good.The mix is the thing with this track. The mix is too subtle. The only thing that is standing out of the mix is that LFO sound. It's a shame because I really like the ideas in this track. It shows very good writing skills... I have to emphasise that I'm very impressed with this track because it is far more difficult to write a happy tune than it is to write a sad minor chord one.Well done!
