I have shared some articles related to travel, photography, music, design and other aspects, and today will be no exception, but if i remember correctly it will be the first time that i will use an original photo to compose the covers that will accompany a musical composition, and perhaps this is just the first of many :)
I have taken advantage of the trips i do to practice one of my favorite hobbies, which is photography, and why not combine photography with another hobby that is music production?
I am happy to give due credit to the authors of the covers that i have used to share some of these music tracks, but i have so many pictures that i may start using them more often :)
But let's move on to the main subject, the musical experiment:
Let's get technical
About the software i use to create these tracks:
DAW (Digital Audio Workstation): Reason Propellerhead
Reason is a digital audio workstation "DAW" developed by the Swedish company Propellerhead Software.
This software simulates a rack of signal processors, hardware synthesizers, , mixers, etc., thus mimicking the actual operation of electronic music production.
You can try Reason free for 30 days here
Below you can see some of the virtual devices used in this production:
- Devices
Redrum Drum Computer

Malström Graintable Synthesizer
