“Soundwave Scholars” is a series in which we highlight original music created by Electronic Music Production students.
This month, we are shining the spotlight on Kai FitzGerald, an EMP student who was nominated by his instructor, Jason Cohen.
Read on to learn about his influences, goals, and experience with Electronic Music Production at Stages, and check out his track, “court“, below!
A time when I got everyone to contribute some very confused-sounding vocals for a track is definitely one I’ll remember, along with the first time I got to see and use an OP-1.
I’m very much inspired by 100 gecs and They Might Be Giants.
I want to get into oscilloscope/vectorscope music, which is music designed to make cool visuals when seen through an oscilloscope, usually with the left audio channel mapped to horizontal position and the right to vertical.
The music I’ve released so far isn’t really the same kind of genre, but I’d really love to someday work with They Might Be Giants.
I’ve learned some good tricks for EQing tracks, like using a really sharp peak to find frequencies that are too strong and dialing them down.
Definitely. One of my favorite tracks I’ve done (from a long time ago, which I still haven’t released) was inspired by a type of muffin!
When I don’t know what to do with a song, I often open up a new instrument plugin and tweak the settings a bit while playing random things to see if I can find anything cool.
I’m on most major music platforms under the name Massive Frog Guy. You can also hear songs on my SoundCloud and Bandcamp that aren’t available anywhere else.
