Yep…well…
There will be no more Schweefter Music…the tracks on this post are the final efforts of mr belushi schweeft, culled from 3 separate, unfinished, projects. You may or may not be able to separate the tracks into 3 different categories but frankly it matters not, i just hope you enjoy them.
During the early 2000’s, i was regularly receiving warm and positive encouragement from record labels, all of whom told me to stick at it because i was very much on the right track and it was only a matter of time before i came up with something worthy of professional release. personally, i feel i managed that feat a number of times between 2004 and 2007 and i doubt that many would be able to tell that the tracks on this collection were not, at least in part, produced in a recording studio; they would be wrong if they thought that, as everything i’ve done has been mixed and mastered on my pc with absolutely no assistance from anything or anyone other than my software of choice, cubase vst and cubase 4 studio.
Sadly, the record labels i’ve been peddling my demo’s to have yet to agree with my, admittedly subjective, belief in the quality of music i’ve produced and after some 8 years trying, i have finally admitted defeat.
Sitting here writing this while i listen to the tracks below, i can understand why i’ve not managed to convince a record label to take me on as my “style” is not really my own, but the amalgamation of every genre of music i love, from straight-up british hip-hop, 80’s synth pop, mash-ups and dj shadow-esque breakbeat work-outs…although i can’t think of many producers who can put these genres together with the relative ease i can…but i suppose that in itself is not enough. I could argue that having no particular style is a style in it’s own right, and while i may be right, it hasn’t got me any nearer to that recording contract.
While mr belushi schweeft may not have been the success i’d hoped for, i can say that it’s been incredibly enjoyable putting together the 7 albums i’ve completed since 1998. Trying to make a commodore amiga 1200 sing (with just 4 channels of mono sound to play with) was as much fun as tinkering with the endless array of effects and plug-ins that cubase 4 allows me to now, all 64 stereo channels worth. i’m sure, from time to time, i’ll upload a mash-up or two to this site should i feel suitably inspired, but beyond playful tinkering with other people’s music, this is the end of the road.
goodbye people….it’s been a blast…
