He uses the 'Hi-Tech' of today using programmed instrumentation and digital recording, which gives him more freedom to articulate and express his passion of music.
He stresses this particular point that outlines the difference with music created by purely computer basic programming.
Playing guitar, writing music and lyrics is his main musical activity but he also produces and composes more contemporary styles such as techno, hip-hop, disco and other genres.
On the other hand, through this regent experimentation with controller guitar midi based systems, he diversifies into producing songs aimed at publishing and producing.
Dave Adrian
bridges in time a sixties Dylanesque period pulse, adding his own personal
freedom of creativity provided by modern high tech, giving a new dimension
to an "old" rock statement. He formed a band called 'Ragged Redemption'
and is by more and more people rated as an
unknown artist in the true definition of the word,
a breed difficult to find in our present times.
In our troubled time Dave is a true "Renaissance" artist.
Production:
Dave Adrian works his composition production in a threefold approach:
1/ The basic usually starts by writing lyrics and adapting to a musical background previously played on guitar or keyboard. This principle is flexible pending on the song. He then builds a background of drums and bass and basic arrangements with a Yamaha QY700 sequencer.
Then he brings the result to a Roland VS1680 digital recorder, with the essential help of Midi Time Code in order to synchronize the start point of the songs in the next steps i.e. vocals, additional arrangements, guitar controller with Roland VG8 sound processor, etc…, until a good premix product is achieved.
2/ At this stage, for his own master songs,
he redirects this entire product to DK studios to Gent, where again, with
the help of Midi Time Code, He transfers the multitracking to more sophisticated
equipment such as an Augan multitrack computer for mastering. The help
of musicians is obviously also eventually required in the studio in order
to give that “live feeling “.
3/ A new project involves the use
of Nuendo systems export import of multitrack data on CDR via OMF file;
this means one can, through computers, exchange songs at a distance, add
vocals or other, without the physical presence of the participants required
and send it all to DK STUDIOS. Dave can by these means produce, arrange,
etc …, many artists. Currently Dave is working on CD productions with
Bahama Kin, Connecticut,
USA.
