Hello everyone. I'm a relatively new member here and would like to take a moment to introduce myself. I am amateur composer based in Singapore (but originally from Canada). I play a little bit of everything to a mediocre level but tend to be most comfortable on guitar. I use Logic on a iMac 2019 and Garageband an iPad Pro 10.5", mostly with sample-based instruments and guitar amp sims. I've also been bitten by the synth bug recently and aim to incorporate analog synths wherever I can (because they're just so incredibly fun to use).
While the Singaporean music scene is certainly in an ascendant phase, I feel it is coming from a fairly low base in terms of exposure and popular support. In light of this, I have found the VI Control forum to be a wealth of information and have really benefited from the discussions and advice shared here. I hope to contribute and play a more active role in the community going forward. I also hope to make some local or regional connections with other music makers in Asia.
I am still kicking the can around on what style of music I most enjoy making, but I'm having a lot of fun exploring different genres in the process. I will post some tracks for feedback in the Member's Compositions section. In the meantime, feel free to have a glance at my portfolio at https://www.mwmelis.com. The site also has a list of my gear - I don't use most of it as much as I should, and the list serves as a reminder not to let it sit and rust!
Thanks for bearing with me and I hope to chat you all soon on the forums.
