First Shot - First Album


 First shot - Jedi Music For The People


Music was always my true passion and love. I was doomed to only listen to music for most of the time in my life. Back as a child my dad refudsed to buy me an eGuitar stating I would become a Rock Star.

Where I grew up I always felt being the outsider and was rejected from the posh, hip and powerful running this little town here which turned out many years later to be of my advantage, but was utter most cruel back in the days.

Here, in a little town way past its beauty, jelousey started ruling generations ago and the better is considered the enemy of the good since then. So, they hooked up against me quickly and I learned fighting and resistance over fine arts.

From this first album "First Shot" I quickly moved to Cyberpunk Music. Shadowrun like worlds and their dark atmospheres since ever fascinate me as Cyberunk Music so excellently does. This first album, also the first that until now keeps sticking under my control, is the first one on the journey to Cyberpunk Music. Which of those many music genre draws belongs it into?

I don't fucking know. I don't care ...

First Shot is solely done with the preinstalled Music Maker Jam Software on Micrsosoft Windows 10. A simple loop processor software with a huge library on loop samples sorted by genre. 4 free downloads to start with and so I gave it a go.

I installed Dubsteb, CyberpunkDnB, Industrial Drums and Retro Synth Pop libraries first, pushing the bpm to 160 and using the 8 tracks to its fulliest with some harmony adjustments - I loved it immediately.

It is a niche music album, I am sure, but so I am.

While most need a soft mattress I sleep best on the floor, while most enjoy a sunny day at the beach I feel most alive when the Mistral blows over me sleeping on stony ground in nothing more than a covered sleeping bag or during a storm at the polar circle in the outskirts of Tromso. A shame French Foreign Legion didn't take me in, but they have no place for mad men.

There is some pleasure in beating up a bully, causing an asshole to kiss ground. It is the dark satisfaction of the bullied resisting his bully, but creating music, mixing tunes pushes me into another world that I only know from the true love of a woman.

So, yeah, I am sure in this environment here soon I will have to fight for my rights once again as so often in the past, because so many here appear to have most pleasure in taking away from the better focusing on what the better loves most as it will hurt most or just taking the piss because they can make fun pretty much only. 

Inch Allah, fighting back through those full 100 yards will lead into a better world for me ...
