Hi, AuralPhoenix here
. Real name's Anshuman Puri, 33 yr old eclectic, maverick tadpole turned musician turned entrepreneur. I ventured out in April 2011 with AuralPhoenix Productions, essentially a home-recording-studio set-up and a nascent online presence for now. The dream is big, the will is strong... "to walk along a path that allows me to carve an identity in the global music industry." The persual of a life doing music is what drives me really.
I am a little over a year old to the "mac-cult", but an inspired one-year at that. I have fallen in love with Apple, not just for their products, but their philosophy. Apple thinks, i think too... Apple thinks and makes excellent products, i think n i strive to make excellent music.
Its personal, feels good to have tools of creativity built and designed by humans with exemplary perceptivity of aesthetic and form and function, and the creativity inside to make a product that does the job well n' does it looking slick n uber-kewl.
It's indeed a charm to use a product ( and several "Apple-friendly-products" alongside ) that makes the transition of a fleeting-soon-forgotten/creative "idea" into a "captured" creative "piece of art" as seamless as possible. No, really, it's a breeze. [ other than GarageBand hanging like a lame duck nowadays
... will post on that later tonite , Please Help ! ]
My mac and it's "friends" do that for me, make my ideas n concepts n vibrant stray thoughts into something I can bring out professionally, What a gift !!!
I'm happy, my girl is happy, I'll make y'all happy someday soon with great music outta this AuralPhoenix Productions stable. Just stay tuned !!!
Check out my website, auralphoenix.com.
Few videos are up on YouTube, few songs on soundcloud, the like...
Lemme tell ya, I started out buying an iphone3G before my MacBook Pro. Man, I loved it. Am typing this on that very iPhone, (love ya baby lol)
Once I bounced the icon and took GarageBand for a spin, there was no turning back.
Creativity Flowed !!! Zen !!!
Got quite a lotta stuff recorded without knowing much about anything, just going by instinct and feel, for 6-8 months, consulted the Internet on how to do what I wanted to do an do it better.
Learnt about MIDI, and about home recording and all gyan permeated my head n' heart n' soul. Read up n' taught myself, very much in the spirit of how I have taught myself the guitar and music and photography and indeed everything I do. I figured I'd need an Apogee Duet if I wanted 'slick' recordings. Bought one. Next I bought a condenser mic, AT4040. I really wanted to sing 'well'. It really helps.
Well, the gear was collected slowly, Senheiser monitoring headphones HD 380pro, Sony Bravia LCD screen, mAudio MIDI keyboard, learning along the way.
My utmost thanks to all the good, kind folk here and on other forums online who offered great knowledge and insight into my artistic pursuit. I salute y'all and will always regard and thankfully remember you for your silent, unknown help to setting me on the path to fulfil my life's dream.
Music has always been my thing, though i have dabbled professionally in photography, journalism, theatre and the graphic arts and scientific pursuit.
I'm just starting this venture, Auralphoenix Productions to go about doing music seriously.
Let's see where the wind blows n' takes me from here.
My girl got me LogicExpress y'day from an 'idea' of hers.
Dunno if it'll 'work', will post on here.
Am stepping up, upgrading, going pro Yipeee !!! lol, sorry polite Sirs
I am limited by financial constraints or would have had bought LogicStudio by now. In the next Six months maybe, unless Auralphoenix Productions makes me enough money before that.
Auralphoenix Productions Compositions, Concerts, Craft ... that's the keyline. Hope it attracts good chi
Have been reading these forums regularly, finally thought I'd 'register' n' formally introduce myself. Ya know, make a few friends n' share my music n' my dreams with.
Am rather an eclectic soul, into mysticism n' magic n' delve into graphic design, photography, cymatics, poetry besides making life more holistic and organic.
I play guitar,having self-taught myself for 15-odd years, have a compositional/songwriting skill I think is worth pursuing and perfecting.
Am doing so
thx everything mac
Hope to learn more in my regular visits around here...
