Hi all,
My name is Jimmy Eyckmans and I am a man from Belgium who after years of producing has gone back to his first love: the arranger keyboard.
On the moment I am in the possesion of 4 arranger keyboards: My old Roland E600 which I used when I was a little kid and 3 more recent ones: Casio CT-X 5000, Korg EK-50L and Yamaha PSR SX 700. More will probably follow in the next months since I am in love with them.
But what do I do with them? Well I create chordprogressions with the styles. Just chordprogressions. I try to create some kind of melody with what is allready there. I do not play a melody, I just use chords.
I try to make a chordprogressions with each style, if I like the style enough, I am not picky but sometimes I do not like the style at all and then I rather skip it.
I have started with my old keyboard, the Roland E600.
Now this can be funny and ridiculous and I might become the center of laughing at but I find IMMENSE joy in doing this. I do this for fun and not to become famous or make money since people will rather want to laugh with what I do anyway. I find joy in what I do. A joy I never found in producing.
I have created a website which I update in real time. Whenever I make a chordprogression I add it to the website. There is an option to download the ones you like for free.
I always start from style number one and go to the last style. With the Roland E600 that means I started with the pop genre. I skipped a few styles in the Ballad genre but I am back at it since there is still a lot to do with them. I had a bad day yesterday and skipped most of them and went on to the Rock genre. Today is a better day and I find more inspiration to fullfill the Ballad genre. Its almost done and then I will go to Rock again and see if there is something I can still use.
Remember that this arranger keyboard is over 25 years old so the styles are old to. Still find joy in creating chordprogressions with them.
Since the journey of an arranger keyboard ends when I used all styles, I also want to use the Roland E600 (money saving) I know now allready I will be buying more arranger keyboards then I can play on in the future.
I will however keep to the cheaper ones since I will not use it anymore when all styles are done.
The Yamaha PSR SX700 is an exeption since I did not know at that time what the future would bring. I will however eventually also use that arranger keyboard.
Buying new ones will go from price range 200 to 800 euro, depending on the funds I have.
You can find all chordprogression tracks on my website. You can leave a comment on the homepage but please be kind.
Other then that you are free to download all tracks you like! It's free and I am sure there will be something to your liking!
