PROJECT: "T. ADONIS - MY REFLEXION"
(Jan 2019)
All music copyrighted 1991
All Instruments and Performance -By me - T. Wright.
Thats why it sounds so "rough" I'm not Trained on any Instrument-
"Can't read music". "Just winging it."
Please excuse the primitive techniques -
These Songs were made differently. My Bands were sucessful
but it was hard to get them to create our own music
and we only covered other bands tunes.
SO I stepped out on my own,
Plus I "played all the instruments" to write the songs.
SO my sound is "limited", but written for a band to play,
not just me.
My "style is a cross between "Jazz and Funk"
I call it "Junk" (lol).
If anyone claims issues- please just let me know and I'll simply desist use.
But if you'd "be so kind", I "appreciate" your work and use as they just enhance my pages
You have My apologies for any inconvenience.
1989
(The Taste)
I had "no access" to any studio equipment when I first tried writing a song. So here's what I did. I had a cheap stereo system with Microphone Inputs, so I rented another Stereo system with mic inputs from a "rent to own center". I then played one track usually drums 1st- using the automatic drums on a "Mini Casio Keyboard" as my base track. Then taped the output out from "stereo one" to the right channnel of "stereo 2", while then adding a bass line using an old beat up bass I made from an old bass frame and a guitar pickup from a cheap $30 dollar guitar, on the left microphone input. Then played that "stereo output" back into the "1st stereo mic input" and added keyboard lines. I did this back and forth until I made a song. Of course sound degrades as I made "copies of copies" and "tempo changes" occurred bouncing back between systems- so musical keys became more "sharp or flat". This is the reason for some things being slightly out of key. But I did what I could "with what I had". "Try not to laugh, I was poor". Please don't be "too critical" of my attempts, I just wanted to try to write some songs, but in S.C. I no longer worked in a band, so there was no money for studio time at over $100.00 an hour.

(The Reflexion)
I did these on a Tascam "4 Track" and an inexpensive 1987 "Yamaha drum machine" . SO Ambiance was "limited" on drums. While "limited to four tracks". SO please don't expect a symphony..But the sound Quality of these is a "Little better". There was no affordable software back then for amatuers. You had to do it by hand, no autotune. no looping or deleting errors. It was really impossible to get a "pro sound" without a studio and serious equipment.(the price of being poor.) Only "working musicians" could afford studio time.
1991-1993
The "Groove Master" Series
By this time I just found a "groove" to my style, But music turned "computer" and "Hip Hop-and Serious Rap". I didn't have equipment to keep pace with the new trends, so I stopped trying to seriously create "music".
No one said I could "play Keyboards".
