Hello,

How are things?

Please allow me to introduce myself.

I am a bassplayer/musician from The Netherlands (in Europe) and I've recently started recording under the name Project Alpha.
The first reviews were encouraging but the project is looking for more feedback. Hence I post this message here as well to ask you all to take a moment if you want and go listen and give your opinion/feedback.

My question is also in what style this music should be fitted, is it modern day jazz, fusion, funk, lounge, new age or what?

As said I'm a bassplayer originally but in this project I play all instruments one can hear so far, record and produce all things myself, no samples used in the music.
Accept maybe a drum machine which I programmed myself, played the pattern in live so to speak.
As a bassplayer I'm not a real solo player on keyboard for excample and I find there is room for that still in my work. Trombone maybe in the first piece.
Mainly I try to create a certain atmosphere in my songs rather than make a pop song kind of thing. I think I still have to learn much so any help is welcome.

If you are interested please go and listen at:

I put three pieces there.
The top one called Soaring Eagle I just finished recently.
Since response is quite good I'm looking for exposure to, any ideas how I might be able to realise that? I'm quite new at this ye know.

Thanks in advance and with kind regards, Project Alpha. :mrgreen:

If you won't feel discouraged:

'Between Amsterdam...' is the only one that made an impression on me. But half way it started sounding repetitive. I think you need more orchestration.

Hello,

No I do not feel discouraged,( :banghead: , hehehehehe) Thanks for your concern. :wink:
Feedback helps me to perhaps improve my next song or the ones which are commented to.
I record and produce this in my own (home-)studio so I can fool around with them some more.

I heard your type of comment before and I will look into it to see if I can make it more interesting.
Of course it is a matter of taste often too, nothing wrong with that.


Thanks!!! :)

With kind regards, P-Alpha :mrgreen:

Hey,
Project Alpha made it to the TOP 10 on the site my music is situated.
Never thought that possible.
Go to:
http://www.radioindy.com
if you care to check it out.
Scroll down to the right, at present I'm at number 6 but still many listen to my music apparently, so the Project might even go higher still.
Not bad considering there are over 500 bands and triple that amount or more songs on that site.
Over 7200 streams and downloads now in only 4 months or so. The slap piece really seems to be received well.
Perhaps I should go in that direction more as I do now.
What do you think?
And feel free to listen any time.
