New Artist Name: HatchBatch

 I'm releasing new material under the artist name HatchBatch  - To hatch music in batches

Why the artist name change?  to reflect how I create music 

Music created using improvisation (to hatch or originate) is fast and easy. So easy, in fact, the tracks flow out in "batches".  Each session rapidly follows another in the genre of choice.  Once created or "hatched", modern digital audio workstation (DAW) software, such as Steinberg Cubase 12, make it easy to modify the initial recordings.

New Track Out! Feeling My Way Check it out!

Later the voice impro was converted into a Strat guitar lead.  Next the guitar audio creates a chord track which then runs an automated rhythm guitar accompaniment.  The string part came later as an improvised counter harmony.

NEW RELEASE! Acoustic Guitar Solos by HatchBatch

For about the last 8 months, especially during pre-vaccine COVID-19 days, I have been recording acoustic guitar.  Some of the tracks in this release originated from several video series on Instagram.  Others were final versions of tracks written earlier in 2020.  Most tracks are missing drums and the volume is set fairly low.  This makes for "easy listening" and a very relaxing 1/2 hour of music (16 songs, 28 min 42 sec).

@hatchbatchmusic now on Instagram!

  I've setup an account on Instagram  @hatchbatchmusic It was a learning experience on getting a decent product to the platform.  I started the account with daily improvises, called the Video Jam Series. I also modified some YouTube videos to run on the platform.  Currently, I am working on a new method of creating music using improvised voice and guitar/keyboard.  My experiment with Instagram Reels went well, with one posting spinning up 1,200 plays.      The Video Jam Series shot live guitar and keyboard improvises.  Some jam motifs are worked out a few minutes before.  The goal is to capture improvised music.  Then, after initial recording of audio on both iPhone and Cubase DAW, the audio is processed.    Processing can include: Adding complementary instruments Adding EQ, compression, guitar amps, normalization, tempo detection, midi note editing   Importing video to Cubase, lining up audio files, exporting video with processed audio   Video is converted to the Instagram "s
