Thank you for saying mate. Really appreciate.
Thank you so kindly mate.
Indeed. 💯 So, I don't want to stagnate just being "the EDM guy". I've been branching out a little more this year and even created a Pseudo-Metal piece of music, but it was mostly EDM.
Lately I've been getting into Jean-Michel Jarre and other musicians of his ilk. I created two Ambientish pieces of Electronic music so far ("Heading Back Home" and "Rondo") which are on my Soundcloud. ☺️ I also created a synth-driven vocal piece that has elements of Industrial (KMFDM was one of the inspos), but that one is unreleased currently.
I recently got two MIDI controllers (the Korg NKS and M-Vave SMK-25) for a handful of purposes - live Ambient jamming, noodling around for ideas, and playing in parts like I used to on my former OP-1 Field for a more "human" feel.
All that said to ask - which musical realms would you recommend I visit next that I may or may not have tried yet? 🙂 I'm open to exploring new territory (or at least new to me).
Edit: I will also listen to everyone's tracks in this thread and will leave a comment for each.
I’d suggest starting with a project for a string quartet. This format would allow you to focus on developing melody and counterpoint, skills I feel you already have a strong natural sense for, and deepen your understanding of their interplay. A string quartet is a versatile and intimate ensemble, providing the perfect canvas for exploring harmonic and textural possibilities without being overwhelming.
There’s no need to limit yourself to realistic string sounds; you obviously know how to use synthesizers. You could emulate or reinterpret the quartet which would be as effective. The principles of writing for a string quartet—balancing voices, weaving melodies, and creating dynamic contrasts—remain the same. Synthesized strings could also keep you within the same sound universe as early Jean-Michel Jarre, bridging your current stylistic tendencies and staying true to your sound identity.
I did something somewhat similar with "Heading Back Home", which was a part of a "1 synth, 4 instances" challenge. Sounds like a fun idea I can try again but with a "string quartet" mindset this time around. JMJ's counterpoint is very spot on.
I guess by "best" the inference is what is your personal favorite? Because what is best for a listener may not be the same as the author/artist's favorite.
Many thanks for all the contributions so far, they just highlight what a talented bunch of (largely) old fogies we are !
Also appreciate the the kind comments about my track…
@richardyot , I have to agree (with the other 2.5k people) that this is one of your best. Backing had a mellotron feel in sections that I like.
@jwmmakerofmusic , I loved the first minute of yours but sadly trance just isn’t my thing. Like Joseph however I am constantly in awe of your musicianship and production values which I think are second to none.
@kyrillik , great bass sound, would have been happy with the track being a bit longer.
@AlexY , enjoyed this one when it first came out, nice to enjoy it again.
That’s cheating @Paulieworld but as it’s you I’ll let you off 😊 Got a lovely lively feel to this one.
@Lady_App_titude , you’re another one where the production values just shine through. Love the lyrics in this one .
@Fruitbat1919 , commented on this recently… 🙏
@DavidEnglish , you have such a distinctive voice and it never disappoints!
@ecou , I never knew I liked Halloween / Slasher music until I heard this a month or so ago .
@NoiseHorse , nicely different to anything else here and Jellyfish Jellyfish is now firmly an earworm!
@sevenape , I remember this one, so peaceful but would be happy to lose the crackling (sound , not roast pork 🐷)
@rottencat , another sea of tranquility , simple but satisfying.
@Dav , love the main theme(s) in this. Structure and feel of it reminds me of Pat Metheny .
@McD , I must have missed this one but thoroughly enjoyed it. Amazing what you can do with a pencil ✏️
@cabo, just go for it !
@NeuM , absolutely, ignore the listeners.. it completely your choice of what works for you.
@jo92346 , I realise that your dilemma is you don’t think any of your tracks are good enough to nominate one as your favourite but I disagree… I think the issue is that you have too many great tracks and making the choice is impossible 😊🙏
Here is mine. Hope to reach 40 listens before end of 2025
Hey everyone - I'm still listening to everyone's awesome music and marking down some thoughts.
I'll put my thoughts here soon.
@GeoTony Always a pleasure to hear from you. As I told @jo92346 , I'm moving away from EDM and getting more into JMJ territory.
Breaking free of the EDM pigeonhole I've been in. I'm glad you did enjoy "Scarlet", at least the intro part, lol. Cheers mate. 
Thank you! Actually, Digitakt's sequencer is pretty straightforward. In fact, some iOS apps are waaaay more confusing (for example, Axon makes my head explode)
I like seeing you working in different styles… you do them all well but I personally will always being seeking something that opens new territory. Unfortunately, that quest insults the larger audience that will recognize their favorite style or artists influence and respond accordingly. People tend to like music they are familiar with so picking an artist and borrowing ideas is
a good way to attach yourself to an existing well defined audience.
I have a nephew that has built a company around EDM and he laments that his customers won’t let him sell the music in makes in ambient and smooth vocal categories. “I can’t sell those projects.” So, he keeps putting out music that sounds very similar to his large catalog to fuel dance parties and raves. Go figure… it’s type casting.
It’s best in the end to make music you are justifiably proud of and an audience of sophisticates will respect that more than thousands of listens.
in the end we just want positive affirmation that we made something of value.
I first played this garage punk psychedelia a couple of years ago, but recently revisited, reworked, and remastered:

This is what I absolutely love about this forum. I get all the positive affirmation I need here. I like to make music in various genres, which is one of the main reasons I've never signed a record deal and just work as a freelancer. Typecasting is a very real thing, and I don't want to be known just for my EDM works.
I'm in the midst of doing that "string quartet" idea that was suggested to me. Actually it's four parts written in a piano sound - bass, chords, melody, and counter melody. Got my new SMK-25 today, and it works a treat.
I also found out the SMK-25 has an arp section, and I can't wait to learn more about that for the next project. I must decide which parts will be represented by which instruments. I think I will either keep the counter melody or main melody as the piano. The other one will be a synth pluck. The chords will be either strings or synth pad. The bass will definitely be synth. No drums for this project.
@cuscolima , loved the backing track and the vocals when they didn’t go stratospheric. Great lyrics as well. Hope nobody gets the hump listening to your track 🐫
Wowzer @JeffChasteen , I’m exhausted just listening to that, so full of energy you could power a small town with it 🔋
It should have been all Cubasis - then that house piano landed as an AU.
I’ve got this, secretly released so don’t tell everyone
Ian K Tindale / Crackle Charge (2024)
I got an M8, it was a game-changer for workflow. I processed lots of samples on my iPad and have been so productive since. This is one of the best tracks I’ve ever made. So much so, I actually decided put it out there. Hope you like my 140bpm jungle breaks!
Some amazing tracks here - going to listen to them in more detail. Definitely shows how far iOS music making has come in the 10 or so years I've been hanging around on the fringes. I still make music - quite a lot hardware based now, but I still use iOS apps, and when I go away I take the iPad and a couple of controllers and if I'm really lucky I can go somewhere and make the music "on location" using recorded samples and live audio. This was one of these - sat by the River Eden near Kirkby Stephen in Cumbria. I guess "ambient noodling" would describe it - but it was very mindful & relaxing making this one. Can't decide if its the best of 2024, but its the only one I'm going to be sharing :-)

Thank you so much for listening again and for the encouragement!
Thanks for listening and taking the time to give me feedback @jo92346 and @Fruitbat1919 !
Very simple and nice. How did you make the organ?
Wow, the guitar is massive even on laptop speakers. I want that patch!
Must... Resist... Buying more gear...
Listening to everything on this thread was time well spent - it never ceases to amaze me the quality and diversity of the music that can be produced on a phone/tablet device. Thanks @GeoTony for doing this every year.
I didn't do too much in 2024, so back to Jan 1st - Happy New Year!
Thanks @NTKK , @u0421793 and @jmcmeex for posting such diverse and amazing tracks. They don’t really fit into my ‘genre appreciation zone’ but music is such a personal thing anyway so that doesn’t matter a jot. Plus no idea what an M8 is, thought it was a motorway, but the end result is impressive. Plus Ian, I always thought your picture showed you with a goatee beard. I’ve only just realised it’s your hand 🤔
@kitejan , more in my zone and I know the area fairly well so I enjoyed the combination of video and music a lot. I try to do similar things when I’m in such inspiring places.
@Wrlds2ndBstGeoshredr , the organ is just Decent Sampler Chord Organ with a bit of reverb.
@pbelgium , Jules Holland should have you on every year to perform this 👌
Anymore offerings… loads of time before 2025 !
very floaty, nice one.
A lovely art piece, deserves a gallery.
Hi,
Thank you for all this beautiful music, I really enjoyed all of them.
Maybe in the mood of Xmas 😉Ím especially catched by:
@GeoTony
Is Eddie still there ? 🤩
@RichardYot
Also catched by your theme in a mixture of Lost in translation, Slow Dive and yes, Sparks ☺️👏👏👏
@AlexY
I generally love tracks with an 80ths spirit, but this one is so special imperfect perfect, not overproduced and it feels analog and with gently jittering tempo ?
@Lady_App_titude
Wonderful synth pop song makes me dancing on the sofa😎, very nice video fx.
@Fruitbar1919
Very cool number, I already listened to it a few months ago, immediately sitting in a Spy movie while listening to it 🤠
@DavidEnglish
Beautiful slow track with a deep sphere, very peaceful ☺️
@ecou
I was smiling while listening to the very cool old school metal 6/8 breakdown at 0:50
@sevenape A reconciliation - itˋs incredible how a mellow spherical piano keeps me listening the complete track
@rottencat
Also a very mysterious and deep track with a beautiful dark atmosphere
@Dav
Wow, that sounds to me as a very talented piano player,
But I find myself asking, when the movie starts after listening to the lovely Acoustic / E-Piano / Sting hook ;-)
@RichardYot
I find myself in a movie with a beautiful Piano Track with a lovely solo flute, I like very much the dark breakdown at ca 04:00 and the theme switches to very deep and strange beginning at 07:00.
@cuscolima
I like this lovely Popsong with that beautiful woman voice ( hope she is a real voice 😅) some very smart rhythm pattern changes.
@NTKK
Very nice house track, maybe needs a few subtle changes in the repeats and I like house piano
This one.💃🕺🎸
Cindy and Walter of Fruehstuecks-Beat are traveled from the late sixties with an German Opel Record C from 1971 into the present time, with a mixture of Krautrock and Motown / Northern Soul there playing a lot of cover from that time with German lyrics.
This one was written and complete played and recorded by themselves with Cubasis on iPad and mixed on Pro Tools HD.
Have fun while listening and kind regards 😅
Good fun, exuberant performances, and a great video 👍

Thanks for listening 🙏🏻
