Softly - Zander
Release

Author: Tenine on November 14 2006
--> Well I was listening to a few of the old songs I did [and finished!] before I got my lappy way back in December 2004.

I used to use Fruity Loops, which I was given...
Anywho, I don't have it anymore but I remember that each time I started a song,
I could save the file but never re-open it. So, I had to complete my songs all in one go before turning off the PC.

This track was done using a few edited drums sounds from FL and the rest was manipulations of a 3 note guitar riff I recorded directly into the sound-card [the speakers were so bad I didn't even hear the hiss that was added!]
It's probably best listened to on headphones.

This was the first and only release I ever did on EM411 as Zander and you were all warm and encouraging about it
Does anybody remember listening to if the first time around?
I'm pretty pleased with it even now despite all it's faults...


PS- The photo is totally unrelated, I just wanted to use it

very nice.

love the crunchy crunchy drums.

was wanting a bit more top end evolution in a melody or something.

but the groove and mood is super.

and i dont remember.
but my memory is shit

hahah on the GB pic

Haha, thanks for your words and thoughts, jdg.
Yeah it's a shame there wasn't more development in it or any melody to speak of.
The crunchy drums are one of the things I was, and still am really pleased with.
The sound that's like a shamisen [I think that's what Jogn said it was like the first time around] was a happy accident with the granuliser I think.
Can't change any of it now though, it's all in the past now!


'Listen! You smell something?'

I think Ray said that.
Peter Venkman was my favourite, but I think he was everybody's.

I remember this one alright.

It's still great.

Also, I didn't know that you had a new name on the new em. I used to know what was going on.

Dave! Thanks

I left you a comment on Myspace just the other day.
Hope you're ok.

I think you were here before me, I'm not sure.... remember bossa nova breakdown and the points system?
I'll have to remember that Tenine=zander

I think you joined around the same time as me. If I did join before you, it might've only been by a few weeks or so...
You had the furby avatar, didn't you?
Bossa Nova Breakdown seems very familiar but I'm not sure why.
What was the points system? Refresh my memory please!
Hey, where do these stairs go?




I remember liking your tune as Zander, but I didn't remember that you became tenine, nor do I recognize the song now that I listen again.
I am getting old, even older than jdg, I dont remember much.
I love the grainy chirpy melodic textures, I'm only used Reason a handful of times but I'm impressed with the sound you got out of it.

Thanks Mlbot.
I hadn't really thought about whether people would still think of me [or even remember me at all haha] as Zander.
Tenine justs seems a better name for what I want to do now. Plus if you Google it, I'm the first link
Thanks again, but you should know, I used FL, not Reason. It's all about the Granuliser!

zander = tenine? i'm so confused, but that explains why I haven't seen you around lately. you and skip, I tell you- these young'uns with all their name-changing. It's madness. So, are you and that one girl still together?

Haha, yeah I am both Zander and Tenine.
Skip is now Nagrom [it's Morgan spelt backwards]

I'm not with that girl anymore.
We actually split about a year ago, her desicion, but I got over it in about a week.
It turns out she'd been very interested in this guy who I believe is now her boyfriend.
She was really manipulative and childish, but of course you never realise at the time, do you!?
I'm so much better off by myself. I remember I used to always talk about it in the Chat forum.
It didn't do me much good at all.
I don't hate her or even dislike her, but I don't particularly want to know her.
I've bumped into her a few times since [she now studies in another city].
For example I was in a record shop with a friend browsing as you do.
I see a pair a hands of appear next to me, I look up and it's her.
'Hello' I said in a normal voice and she just put on this whole false-surprised attitude as if to say
'Oh, Alex, I didn't see you there' before she walked off.
I don't know if she was trying to annoy me or what, I just thought it was a bit childish.

I'm steering clear of girls right now.
In the last year I've really sorted my shit out and I'm much happier.
I can afford to wait to find the right girl who won't mess it up

Anyway, that's my life haha!.
I think people should do more blogs introducing themselves...

girls are trouble.
truth

Aye, it is the truth.

this is sweet! how could anyone forget zander? though i admit i only remembered that tenine was the name someone had chosen to change too.

this strange avatarless world..
