About The Fresh Start

Hi there, Terry here. I'm on a journey to build self confidence, learn & find my way in the art of live performance. The object is to share what I learn & grow with all those who love music.

It may be a novice hobby but we all have dreams & personal goals. What I value most about YouTube is the great friends I've got to know & the amount of inspiration out there. Be free, happy & express your passion.

About this user

I have been a prolific artist my entire life, in many different forms. From drawing, painting, street dance, fine art figurative sculpture, spraycan art, stenciling, inventing, custom airbrushing & basically too much to list.

On my 40th birthday I purchased a Roland JX-305 & decided to start learning music.

This channel is my new personal journey & experimentation of how to make music on synthesizers & other various equipment. With no previous experience. Recently I decided to have a go at vocals to try & make things more interesting. You never learn if you don't try.

Here I will explore my love for Ambient Electronic Pop with a view to making my own original style sounds.

I ad-lib everything as I go. That includes playing & vocals. Slowly learning how to set up a simple low budget system that suites my creative needs. To produce LIVE audio visuals, without the aid of a computer. Recording all audio hardware on a ZOOM Q3HD pocket HD video camera & uploading straight to YouTube.

This method should aid in my personal understanding of the synthetic processes. To learn as I go, by looking & listening to where I feel I'm going wrong.

I'm no electronic expert, equipment specialist, musician or singer. Just a simple well mannered person, very eager to learn my own way. I am also very down to earth & open minded. We all have a lot to learn.

I respect others views & take on board any advice. Music to me is a fun hobby.

Equipment I use:

Novation KS-5 VA Synthesizer
Roland JX-305 VA Workstation
Roland SP-555 Sampler / Looper
Yamaha MG82CX Analog Mixer
Sony MDR 7506 Headphones
Shure Beta 58a Dynamic Microphone X2
Microphone Boom Stand X2
Zoom Q3HD Pocket video camera
Floor mounted camera stand
