The New Fusion Project is what I call my home recording studio and record label. I started out years ago multi-track recording all the instruments and vocals from some of the bands I admire, teaching myself how to recreate their different recording styles. Over time, I added more software and outboard gear to construct a fully networked synthesizer lab in my home office. Synthesizers now include a Yamaha Montage 8, Moog Minitaur, Roland System-8, Behringer Deepmind 12, Studiologic Sledge 2.0, a NI Maschine Mk3 drum controller, Roland V-Drums, and a large library of soft synths and instrument samples.
With this in place, I am now able to create any kind of music, which for me involves blending together diverse musical and technological styles. My compositional process is based mostly on intuition and improvisation more than traditional song writing or formal compositional methods. I typically stack several synths and record them simultaneously onto separate tracks in a single free-flowing improv performance, which I then edit down and layer up to create a finished piece. This allows me to capture special moments, emotions, and intuitive ideas often lost in the recording process while taking advantage of the endless possibilities available in the digital post production process. If you like what you hear, please check back occasionally for updates. Enjoy! R
