ARTIST NAME: SPACEMAN
How did you first become interested in music production & how did you get started?
It all started when I was introduced to it all. Always wanted to and the advice was given to get started.. Since then music has became a hobby worth enjoying.
How would you describe your production style and how has it evolved over time?
Wanted the idea of north east space sounds which I'd normally hear from various producers it's a very rare style that I look for as it has to be harmonic with that style to the alias every track has a meaning with the title.. And the more I work on my projects the new stuff I add makes that feeling click..
What DAW do you use and are there any tools, sounds or plugins that are essential for you?
Vsts ( Zion Activ8 Spire Xpand 2 Nexus) are the main sounds I go for.. Activ8 hard trancer is me goto then I change the filters and change the octave to make a unique sound but learning more as I go with what to do next.
Do you every suffer from "writers block" / lack of inspiration, and if so, how do you deal with this?
The answer to that is yes.. Take a few days to focus on your wellbeing and if any ideas arise an hour or two can do alot all about focusing your time to sit there and do it and after a few hours it becomes natural to sit and work
What have been some of the highlights in your production journey so far? Are there any songs you are particularly proud of or are meaningful to you?
Just the style really finding your melody's in tune and sounding what they sound working hard to get certain tracks right... Columbia was one of me first tracks with nasa samples in always had this idea that my alias would have been renegade.. spaceman had that uniqueness about it
Have you experienced any challenges or set backs in your journey and if so, how did you handle them?
By taking the time to focus of what you have learnt to adjust everything as you go it's all about that click when your adjusting volumes and setting the vocal samples to the bpm
Are there any upcoming projects, events or collabs you are excited about?
Would love to get more releases as I work hard when I can see eps being made so hopefully for the future is to be at that level to prove to me good mates that I've got this.
What things are you interested in exploring next in production?
Hard trance italo & Eurodance & Bounce
