Keyboards, Piano, Guitar, Electric Guitar

Composed, arranged, performed, produced, mixed, mastered and engineered by....

Original prarie boy (North of Winnipeg), living in Vancouver since the early 80's...worked first in the music industry producing soundtracks, jingles, demo's and studio keyboards around Vancouver.

After many years and many studios and keyboard rigs, I have finallly settled down and done the fully digital plugin thing using Windows, Reason, Acid Pro, Ableton Live, Fruity Loops, and Storm.

My plugin libary includes,

Arturia's CS80, Arp, Mini Moog, MemoryMoog, and Pro-53.

Rob Papen's Albino 3 and Blue are valuable additions.

Native Instruments Komplete 4 (Absynth, FM8, Massive, Kontakt, Akoustic Piano, Reaktor, Battery, B4II, Guitar Rig, Intakt, Elektric Piano, and others).

Sample libraries, bought and registered date back as far as 1984 with my first EII from EMU.

Camel5000 is one of my favorite new pieces to mess with.

I have added Atmosphere and Rapture to an already cool mix.

All in all, I feel very lucky indeed to be able to produce with these fantastic tools.

M-Audio keyboards (Pro 88, Oxyen, and Trigger Finger) interfaces.

M-Audio Firewire 410 connected digitally to my VS-880.

Addition stuff includes Sony's Sound Forge 8 and CD Architect,
and Propellerhead's Rex editor.

I am currently (as of March 2007), working on album number 46 in my library. This album, entitled, "Bitter Green" is a study of weather, systems, environment and the modern politics of dancing that are modern 21st Century life.

My hope in creating such a vast library would be a solid fan-base that would come to enjoy my music and hope to collect my recordings.

My greatest inspiration as an artist to this day is Vangelis.
Hence, the composed, arranged, performed, produced, mixed, mastered, and engineered stuff.

Thank-you to projectopus for providing me with an avenue for getting my albums out onto the net for everyone to enjoy.

Cheers and keep dancing y'all,

Grant Mann
