The songwriter, composer and music
producer known as Jason Gillard has released his latest official
single track, “Determined.” The track has been proudly published
as an independent release without the direction or financial support
of the corporate music industry. Gilt with synthetic instrumentation
and featuring melody lines that are sure to hook listeners of every
music genre, “Determined” is an instrumental track which
appropriately heralds the start of the autumn 2017 season.
Australian Jason Gillard makes music in
the Queensland northeast corner of the land down under. “Determined”
represents his first officially distributed song in the vast
wilderness of independent music, but it is not his first composition.
“I created pieces of music before
'Determined,'” he writes, “but once that was created I knew I had
something special.”
The process of making the present
instrumental single contributed much to the end product.
“I use specialized German music
creation software to create the tracks,” says Gillard. “It's
actually quite funny as half the program is in German, so it made a
bit of a challenge to create the tracks.”
Asked to list some main artistic
influences, the composer and musician cites only the Irish pop rock
group, U2. The flavor of U2 exists in “Determined” in Gillard's
prominent use of acoustic guitar and forward placement of the bass
guitar in his final mix. His melodies are handled largely by synth
brass instruments which sound akin to saxophones and have a warm,
harmonious sound.
On the topic of the song's themes,
Gillard is a man of few words. He mentions only, “hope,” and “the
power to dream.”
“Determined” by Jason Gillard is
available online worldwide beginning 12 September 2017.
