HMTV Canada Interviews Morphieus

HMTV Canada: In my more youthful years I would have choreographed a dance scene for a Ballet script. It is the kind of sound that can put you into a trance like state of wonderful pics and send your senses into a journey of relaxation. Imagine a world without stress, without issues, the type of music that is carefree, warm and filled beautiful scenic places. That is Morphieus Music -by Tina Wilson HMTV Canada.

HMTV Canada: Hi Robbie, Welcome to HMTV Canada. Tuning into your airwaves I started to relax and almost fell into a trance-like drift of falling asleep with dreamy pics rolling in my mind. Amazing what an effect your music plays on the senses when our minds are free of stress and everyday issues. Can Tell me what the creation Morphieus brings to the world in creativity and masterpieces of sound and lyrical content? 

Robbie: Hello Tina, music has always been everything to me, it’s my lifeblood, it’s what drives me forward. I started creating music as a child. I knew then as I do now, that I wanted to make music which created a mood inside your imagination. I want the listener not just to enjoy the music through there ears, but to close their eyes and go on a journey of discovery, to relax and to make the listener think.

HMTV Canada: When I heard the track Hold On, I thought wow what a great voice. Did you attend a university or college for making music, instrumentation and singing? 

Robbie: Thank you, Tina, very much for your wonderful comments, they mean the world to me, I did actually attend a college in Hereford for about two years, but the course was to learn piano tuning, and also music, but I sadly left, because I started a relationship. 

HMTV Canada: Have you created a full-length Album of your songs yet?

Robbie: To be honest I have created many albums of music, but recently I have been going back to a lot of my favorite tracks, and re-mastered and remixed them, to make them more polished to my ears, and too what I think people want to hear. 

HMTV Canada: What inspires you to create music and write these lyrics?
 
Robbie: Life around me which involve relationships, emotions, tears, and laughter. I take everything from my life and experiences, and create a musical diary and put all my heart and soul into it. 

HMTV Canada: Have you had the chance to collaborate with other bands that want your music style in their songs?
 
Robbie: Not as yet, I hope in the future. I will find other artists and bands to work with, and take the Morphieus sound to a wider audience.

HMTV Canada: Has any movie or video gaming productions ever requested your songs for their scripts or games?
 
Robbie: No Tina, this is my main hope and dream for moving my music forward. I truly believe my music is really ideal for music and TV. I would love to be given scripts to be able to create music to, fingers crossed for the future. 

HMTV Canada: Have you ever been approached by any professional live theatrical acts like Shakespeare or a Ballet Acts requesting to play your music?
 
Robbie: Again the answer is no, as yet no artists of any kind have approached me to do music for them as yet. 

HMTV Canada: I could appreciate your music in a live theatrical act in places like Toronto or New York, and the reasons why I say that is because in surround sound there are different sounds coming from all parts of a room.
 
Robbie: I agree, my main aim as a artist is to play my music live. I have created the music to be able easily to play it as a solo artist, whether at a piano or a full electronic setup. I would enjoy the challenge, and make sure the experience is something special for the audience.

HMTV Canada: As a creator of great music are you always thinking up ways to change styles and try new ideas?
 
Robbie: In a way yes, I enjoy experimenting with styles and ethnic percussion, but to always stay true to the Morphieus style of creativity, to make haunting melodies that create images that only the listener can understand. 

HMTV Canada: Do you play locally around the U.K. or have you had the chance to play in other countries such as festivals or events?

Robbie: I haven’t played any live venues as yet, but again hope and pray that this will happen very soon, I make the music to be enjoyed in the home and live, and would really enjoy taking my music to a wider audience. 

HMTV Canada: Is there much competition in the style or genera of music you create?
 
Robbie: I’m not sure to be honest. I do not think so, because most music is made using computers and sequencers. I do not think many writers play and record in real-time. I just use the pc as a multi-track recorder, and do not use any gadgets to affect the feeling and ambience of my music. 

HMTV Canada: What is the music scene like in the UK such as the types of music genera’s being air played on local radio?
 
Robbie: In the UK, R&B and dance genres have taken over airplay, popular music is a very merchandised type of sound, using computers and sequencers, production seems to have taken a backseat, which is such a shame, production to me is hugely important, as important in a way as the writing process.

HMTV Canada: Do you find internet radio or college radio a great help for receiving airplay of your music?
 
Robbie: Yes, I do, internet radio has only started playing my music very recently, otherwise only a very few people would be hearing my music, which saddens me very much.

HMTV Canada: What social media do you find the most useful in marketing your music?
 
Robbie: For me Soundcloud is my weapon of choice at the moment, the quality of the music is not compromised in any way, the players are a very high quality, and are free, which is very important, when you are a artist with little or no money as such.

HMTV Canada: What are your main goals or things you want to accomplish before 2012 ends?
 
Robbie: I really hope, that I can take my music to a wider audience, and hope TV and film companies will show an interest in me as a writer, performer. 

HMTV Canada: Thank you Robbie for the listening pleasures. You Rock

Robbie: Thank you, Tina, for taking the time to listen to my music, and interviewing me. Take care and lots of love.
