I play on arranger keyboards, which are musical instruments featuring 200 to 400 or more styles.
These styles are essentially music patterns.
With the left hand, one can alter the tone of the music patterns, thus creating a sort of melody.
The right hand is typically used to play a melody, but I choose not to.
I am captivated by the styles and their impressive sound quality, so much so that I focus on creating chord progressions with my left hand and develop tracks in this manner.
I endeavor to find a melody within the style itself, despite it inherently lacking one, by paying attention to the instruments and the pattern provided.
My goal is to craft a musical piece using the chord progressions and the array of variations available on the keyboards.
Currently, I own six arranger keyboards: a Casio CT-X 5000, a Korg EK-50L, a Roland BK 3, a Yamaha PSR E 473, Yamaha PSR SX 700, and a vintage Roland E600.
My aim is to utilize all of them, exploring as many styles as possible and discovering compatible chord progressions.
I have three rounds of purchases that are quite certain to occur.
Round 1 includes the arranger keyboard Casio CT-X 5000, which I already own, and the Thomann AK-X1100, which I plan to buy next month. Additionally, there's a vintage Roland E600 keyboard that, despite being over 20 years old, has remarkably good styles.
Round 2 comprises the Korg EK 50L and the Roland BK 3, both of which I own, as well as the Yamaha PSR SX 700, which I also possess.
Round 3 involves the Yamaha PSR E473, which I've ordered, a medium-priced keyboard in the 500-800 € range that I still need to select, and the Roland E A7, which I unfortunately also need to buy.
This will take some time as I plan to purchase a bag for each from Thomann for easier storage.
This is part of a multi-year plan.
I began with the first round, using the Casio CT-X5000, which cost me 399€ and is considered by me to be an affordable keyboard.
I've created several tracks and plan to release them gradually as I develop new ones.
My goal is to include at least one track from each genre section on the keyboard. While it may not be feasible to cover every style, I strive to come as close as possible.
Considering the substantial costs associated with this creative process, I've decided to charge a minimum of 1€ for a round of genre selections. If a genre section contains only five buttons, I'll offer two rounds for the same price.
Albums will typically feature 5-10 tracks, but regardless of the number, the price will always be 1€.
This nominal fee serves as a way to support my work.
I also have a website, check it out: https://www.jimmyeyckmansmusicroom.be/
I have released the first album, with chord progressions from the Casio CT-X5000 on bandcamp
