Moodswings By Journey
Journey is the project of London based Italian native Jay Om, the label manager of Free Spirit Records. Our new volume of Mindstream, the Boom Radio Podcast, is about the mood that Jay gets while doing his daily life!
When I’m happy I listen to: Anything that makes me sing inside… Reggae probably is the first choice.
When I’m angry I listen to: Silence. I rarely listen to music when I am angry, I try to listen to myself, so silence is the best option.
When I’m relaxing I listen to: My best way to relax is to watch movies in my studio, but if not I’ll often listen to Alternative Rock like Coldplay, Snow Patrol or Keane.
When I’m about to go out I listen to: Usually my own production before I go out to play…
When I’m about to go to sleep: Nothing specific, but I always leave the radio on in the lounge when I go to bed.
When I’m checking the emails: Lots of different stuff, depends on my mood.
When I need to be inspired I listen to: Hmmm, I don’t listen to music to be inspired… or at least i don’t when i am going to produce in my studio… …inspiration comes making my music as i never have something prepared before hand…i like be spontaneus
When I’m cooking I listen to: Bob Marley, Peter Tosh and Burning Spears are my best cooking companions – I make a very good food listening to them…
Finally, what is the main approach you have to the Journey sound? I always approach my production sessions looking for different sounds, changing key and using different layers to create my collage, a psychedelic collage. I avoid using the same presets, never use the same patterns and in this way feel more creativbe and happy with my results.
