From the PR dept. at Pedestrianrecords and Sammy James:
Sammy has been busy working on a new four-song EP. This time, he decided to create something different -- instead of the usual sample-based synth stuff, he has created sounds, from scratch, using FM8.
Frequency Modulation synthesis is considered to be among the most difficult to work with -- so it should come as little surprise that Sammy wanted to take this one on face-first. The new album features all-original sounds -- no presets -- even the drums were all created using the FM8 six-operator FM engine.
The music is, of course, recognizably Sammy James -- trance, techno, and house are all represented here. His signature sound got a boost from expert mastering at MasterLab in Orlando, where Trace Thomas worked diligently last week to get the balance right.
Stop by http://www.sammyjames.com/samples.html to hear the new tracks in their entirety on SoundCloud for free. This is a preliminary release -- we hope to have on-line sales through iTunes by the end of June.
Thanks for your support, and have a good week.
