Hi and welcome to my music site .

I am an amateur musician doing cover songs with my Yamaha Genos.

I was also a computer programmer for a large portion of my working life.

Putting these two abilities together I have written a software program that makes it relatively easy to make backing tracks with lyrics, specifically using Yamaha arranger keyboards .

The software is called Backing Track Maker or BTM for short, which translates a simple text file containing chords and lyrics to a special midi file with lyrics on a Windows computer. More about that on the BTM page.

All my music is recorded in my home studio, just a space set aside for my music equipment, nothing fancy but I have picked good quality equipment. My goal is very simple - I want to have fun making music and I want to share my musical experiences with other like-minded people.

This website contains a brief explanation of BTM. You can also go to my YouTube channel, where I have tutorial videos of BTM and music videos made using backing tracks made with BTM.
